New Mexico 2008

In and around New Mexico, United States

This summer, the extended family is spending 9 days exploring New Mexico, with a few Kansas, Colorado and Oklahoma stops along the way.  PK and KK (aka Mom and Dad) have secured us accomodations at the Mutz Ranch in Elizabethtown, NM for a week and that will serve as our base headquarters for this trip.

Traveling Kings, It sounds like you are having an awesome time. Did you get to stop at Black Mesa? It is the highest point in Oklahoma (which you probably already know). To bad about the ice cream.

Steve, I just met with your staff concerning my suggestions for '09 goals for MIS. I feel that I must really motiviated them about the upcoming year because they seemed really eager to get back to work and out of my office! You should have seen the admiration and excitement in their faces when I shared with them my visions for the upcoming year!
