SN1 blew into P-Town unannounced (well, semi-announced: he called from Albuquerque) late last evening/early this morning. Seems like the family thought it would be a good thing to pack up and go down to ABQ for the long weekend. A snap decision, last minute, seat-of-the-pants kinda thing. In so doing, it turns out there was a reason for SN1 to make the trip down to P-Town and back, so he called and asked if I’d be around last evening to have a couple of beers and chew the fat. “Sure!” sez I… “C’mon down!” And so he did, arriving last evening just after midnite.
Just one small fly in the ointment. I hadn’t re-stocked the Grog Locker, or more specifically the Beer Locker, for a while and there was only one beer in El Casa Móvil De Pennington. An unusual situation, to be sure, complicated by the fact yesterday was Sunday. If this is Sunday, and if this is New Mexico, you don’t buy beer. Check that: you can’t buy beer in most of the state, with the exception of military bases, certain parts of ABQ, and Santa Fe. Gotta love them Blue Laws, eh? So, we dipped into the single malt and fixed the world’s problems until about 0230 this morning. It’s all good!
The morning coffee has been consumed and SN1 is back on the road, headed back to ABQ today, and then home to Utah tomorrow. It was good to visit.
More later, if the spirit moves me.
