8. Glad I could be of help.

On the other hand, getting sloshed so easily at high altitude makes drinking less expensive here, not such a bad thing.

I would not want to be a young person in Santa Fe. I came her at age 60, after a divorce, and I tell people this is a great place for an older person to reinvent herself. Another problem is that the public schools just aren't very good, so if you have young ones, a private school becomes almost a necessity. Unless you live in Los Alamos, which has phenomenally good public schools, but that's because of the presence of the Labs, and so many adults with PhDs.

If you want to think about getting together next time you come out here, just let me know.
