A decade back in Las Cruces: Thanks for the memories

Ten years ago I came home. Wife, cat, and I moved from Oakland to Doña Ana County, where I lived during 1969-1977 — and thought of as home thereafter. When I met my wife, she suggested we move here. (I even thought I might someday write a Sunday newspaper column.)
This afternoon, sitting in the Mesilla Plaza eating chocolate ice cream, I felt like saying, “Thanks!”
Thanks to old friends and new, for a decade of poetry, laughter, political and environmental activism, and conversation. Thanks to the PVA, and to progressive elected officials for their tireless work to keep New Mexico enchanting; and to the dedicated volunteers who created and run our community radio station. Thanks to the cat, Bear, for all he taught me before he died, and to Foxy, the dog, for all she’s teaching me now. Thanks to the Organ Mountains and the (sadly diminished) Rio Grande for quiet walks and wildlife.
