21. I live in Santa Fe, lucky me.

I moved here eleven years ago after a divorce. I'm a science fiction geek and I've gotten to know any number of the wonderful s-f writers who live in NM and Colorado.

I have a son in a PhD program in astronomy on the east coast. I am really hoping he gets a job in this part of the country (NM, CO, or AZ) when he's done, so he won't be so far away.

Anderson and Beason also wrote The Trinity Paradox, in which an anti-nuclear activist gets bounced back to northern New Mexico and the year 1943. She manages to get a job in Los Alamos. It's very good. I keep on intending to reread it, but haven't yet. It came out in 1991, and I first read it around then. I suspect a reread would find it somewhat dated. But I still hope to get to it someday.
