The Dragon leaves behind a tumultuous year as it departs, but out of crisis, so goes the Chinese proverb, arises opportunity. February 10, 2013, The Year of the Snake, slithers off the tip of the Dragon's tail and officially launches the start of a new year. While many people have ophidio-phobia (the abnormal fear of snakes), the legless reptile, according to the Chinese Zodiac, is a positive sign and we can use its energy to effectively and successfully manage the emotional, financial, spiritual, ethical and environmental challenges ahead. | The Dragon leaves behind a tumultuous year as it departs, but out of crisis, so goes the Chinese proverb, arises opportunity.

Albuquerque International Sunport is the major air hub for all of New Mexico and I’m in it. Vancouver to Los Angeles. Los Angeles to Denver. Denver to Albuquerque, a long series of hopscotch arcs with one more jump left and then a twenty mile drive. | Albuquerque International Sunport is the major air hub for all of New Mexico and I’m in it.

I’m either extremely hungry or the club is, in fact, the best sandwich of its kind west of the Pecos. It’s real turkey, moist breast meat, robust slices of sweet tomato, the bacon is crisp, like Peggy Lee snapping their fingers in “Fever,” firm lime-green lettuce leaves, a zesty mayo, a balanced sprinkling of salt and pepper, and three perfectly toasted pieces of bread.
