For some time now I’ve wanted to walk from Albuquerque to Tijeras, a nearby town to the East of ABQ. From time to time I bring it up and then for one reason or another it never happens. Well, no longer, we’ve decided we’re doing it. Here’s what that looks like: Why this route? It’s…

My two oldest children are away, visiting their Grandma and some friends in South Dakota. This is the first time they’ve been away from us longer than an overnight at a sleep-over. I know it’s cliche, but I’m having a moment. I’m thinking about my babies all grown up and how it was only yesterday…

Sunday night we drove up to the Sandia Crest (for those of you not from Albuquerque, that’s the top most point of the mountains on the east edge of town) to watch the sunset. There’s a great viewing area and tons of great trails. But on Sunday we were not there for hiking, just sunset watching.…

As I mentioned, I spent the weekend in Buenos Aires. Normally on these work trips I have very little time to explore, but because of the way the flights worked out, this time I actually got to squeeze in some sightseeing. I won’t bore you with the details, but in a nutshell, I went to…

When I was a kid we used to listen to Hair, the soundtrack. Now, for those of you who are familiar with Hair and know I grew up the daughter of missionaries, you might be surprised that we listened to that kind of thing. It’s not exactly Christian missionary kid material. But I knew the…

This past Saturday I had the very great honor of speaking at WordCamp Buenos Aires 2015 about one of my favorite topics, getting involved with the WordPress community. Slides are here: They are also on the WCBA15 site. And if you want to read the presentation I put full notes in a PDF. Please forgive any Spanish typos.…

I just received this old photograph in my email inbox. My uncle’s been going through old pictures and sent this gem to my dad. It’s a picture of the woman I’m named after, Alma Wunderlich, my dad’s mother’s mother. I don’t see myself in any of their faces, apparently the only thing I inherited from her is her…

1978-01-18-Wednesday: Picnic in mts across the valley. Karen cut her chin 1 in gash in scuffle over skate board at Lillegard’s (emphasis mine). Off on a picnic about ten AM with sandwiches, cookies & lemonade. All but Boo – he had to go to math class. Explored hills that we see from balcony of the house…

My two youngest kids woke up too early this morning. Maybe the rare sound of rain on the roof woke them up. We don’t hear that very often in the high desert. In any case, they piled into bed with me and in the course of our early morning half asleep chatter someone said something…

This past Saturday, April 18th, I got to hang out with about 130 amazing bloggers and 13 of my coworkers at Press Publish in Phoenix, a new WordPress.com offering. The first one was in Portland a couple weeks ago. I gave a 15 minute presentation about Blogging on the Go with the WP mobile app and spent the…

I work at home, in front of my computer, and if I don’t get out of the house to work out I might take 100 steps on a given day. I like to eat. Actually, I love to eat. And I often eat out of boredom or restlessness so I eat more than my body…
