I’ve written about Roadrunners before, but can you blame me? They’re cute. My daughter caught this one today while on a walk in our neighborhood.

I have a number of draft posts that have as yet gone unpublished. In an attempt to clear those out, here’s one I started writing a couple years ago. We were at a New Mexican restaurant in Albuquerque and they have the loveliest wall of crosses adorning a wall just behind the table we were sitting…

We had a great WordPress meetup last night all about our favorite plugins and even some plugins created by local folks. My friend Jamii (who also hosted the event at her coworking space) put a nice writeup about it on her blog. There’s not surprisingly, a lot of great WordPress work happening in my town.

I’ve always wanted to see the inside of the Albuquerque Press Club. All it took was my brother and his banjo and a bluegrass jam session. It’s about what I expected. Dark, smokey, lots of wood. Sort of like a log cabin.

I’ve always known that home is where my feet are. Turns out that home is also where our wheels are. Lucky for me, I can blog from anywhere. #WPHome More on our travels

I want these signs for my house. We saw these at a navajo taco/coffee food truck near Monument Valley, the kids and I had a huge giggle over them.
