Well, being from New Mexico I already knew this: New Mexico’s state question, “Red or Green?,” refers to the kind of chiles you’re looking for in your dish. But here’s something I didn’t know: Chile Verde is one of America’s top 10 foods according to MSNBC.com. Check it out! And if you haven’t had green chiles, well you’d better give that a try.

So, you might think I’ve been lazy and haven’t written to this blog in oh so long, but it’s not true. I’ve been busy.

First of all, I would like to announce that I’m married to the beautiful Mrs. Julia Baker. She’s fantastic! That’s probably the main reason I haven’t written on here in so long. It’s been fun to be back here in New Mexico and live the American Dream. Well, I guess we’ve just been working, pretty much.

I also got sick last week with a nasty virus that kept me home all week. It created an acute pain in my throat, and everytime I tried to swallow I felt like my throat would catch fire. Yuck! But the good news is it’s almost all gone.

And in other news, I finally got around to updating WordPress for this website. It’s completely current now, and hopefully that will help me with all the spam problems I was having. And you may notice that the quotes are back. Yeah!!! Not as cool as before, but they’ll just have to do.

Let me know what you think of the new design. Like it? Love it? I decided to just tweak around with the default template this time. I only changed a few colors and the title image for the background to give it a more personal feel.
