I'll be passing through the Santa Fe / Albuquerque area Thursday and will
probably be hanging around Friday, possible Saturday  too.

If you live in the area, send me your phone and I'll try to catch a few
minutes with you while I'm rambling between the two cities.

Reply before 9 PM this evening, Wednesday June 22snd because I'll be flying
out from Dallas at 10 PM to Denver to pick up a Porsche that I'll be driving
back to Dallas.
