Fuselier: To Worry Or Not To Worry
By BOB FUSELIER
Los Alamos
From time to time I’m reminded that lessons learned years ago from our elders still retain their power to teach. My Dad died over 23 years ago, yet his words and actions are still guiding me. A lot of what I learned from him came from moments he wasn’t trying to teach me anything. The more I think of it, the majority of his most important lessons were given at those times teaching me something was the last thing on his mind. I would hope that my children could say something similar in spite of the fact that I “tried” to teach a lot.
I remember distinctly one lesson my Dad offered me Read More

This October my husband Rick and I embarked on a fantastic adventure to Spain. I had been there before but he had not and since he is not enamored with big cities, we designed our trip to skirt the mediterranean sea from the Straights of Gibraltar to Barcelona concentrating on the small, historic communities along the coast. In Cadiz and Jerez we were fortunate to see the dancing Andalusian Horses perform and to get a personal tour of the Valdespino Bodega specializing in Spain’s world renowned Pedro Ximenez Sherry.

Whenever I visit New York City, I have to see a Broadway show, usually several. I’m a consummate theatregoer and love both musicals and plays and will attend performances wherever and whenever I can. But Broadway’s special and there’s nothing more exciting than being amid its bright lights. I’m always giddy with anticipation sitting in the audience waiting for the curtain to rise, then being treated Read More

Right now, people are fleshing out their resolutions for 2024, many of which focus on improving health. Losing x-number of pounds and joining a gym or workout program are probably pretty common resolutions.
I’m not much of a resolution maker, but I do keep health goals. They aren’t reserved just for the new year, but are something I hone throughout the seasons.
You might ask, “What’s the difference between a resolution and goal?”
A resolution is a firm decision to change a behavior. “I’m going to do this and not do that.”
A goal however, Read More

Posts From The Road: Year In Review 2023 Part 2
Chloride, NM: We explored areas in southwestern New Mexico in January and February of 2023. We visited several locations that were new to us and returned to some favorite locations from past trips. Chloride, N.M., is a mining town established in 1879 and many of the original structures still stand today. History of the mining towns of the western U.S. is always interesting and full of surprises. Chloride was a boom town of 2,000-3,000 residents for a few years until the mines declined and the miners moved on to other sites. Chloride is home to about two dozen residents today who work together to maintain Read More
Fr. Glenn: To Be Wholly Family
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Well … 2023 coming to a close. How time flies. So many things still fresh in the ol’ memory—the pandemic (already almost four years ago!), wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, presidents come and gone, space shuttles and their disasters, moon landings. 9/11. We “boomers” seem to be all retiring … or, inevitably, passing. Decades go so quickly. It’s like the country songs “Don’t Blink” and “Remember When”.
But now we come into the new year, which always brings new hope for the future. Fortuitously, the Sunday within the eight days (“octave”) of Christmas—the Catholic Church always Read More
