Though I grew up there, and almost all of my close friends live there (along with most of my siblings), I start to go a little crazy when I spend more than a few days up that way. Organized religion is much less a dominant force in the culture here in central New Mexico; it is a lot more comfortable for atheists, Buddhists, and others whose sense of morality and spirituality is more personal than hierarchical. (Of course, Catholicism plays a prominent role in the long - and somewhat bloody - history of the Spanish here; also, organized religion is much more central in small-town New Mexico. Nonetheless, in the Albquerque-Santa Fe area, it rarely you can pretty much ignore it.) #1 is pretty cool; I'm envious. I spent 20 years as an employee (the first three in the military), but the last six years - as an independent contractor - have been vastly more satisfying (personally, if not always financially). #3 works for me as well. Fortunately, much of the Mexican food here in New Mexico tends to be significantly spicier than not only most Mexican food in this country, but even most food in Mexico. Do you remember Taco John's, down across from the Century Theaters? When I was in high school, I used to go down there for tacos, and load them up with their hottest sauce. It brought tears to the eyes, but damn, it was good. Living where you do tends to contribute to #4 for many people, mg.
