Moriarty

No, not Sherlock Holmes' famous nemesis, but a blip-on-the-radar town slightly to the east of Albuquerque, New Mexico. We are staying at an EconoLodge, which has given us quite a nice room for $60 (pet fee and all). We didn't catch the fact that we had a time zone change when we crossed into New Mexico, so we accidentally arrived at the motel around 1:00 AM. But it's okay, we actually weren't that tired.

We also got to see one of Alex's fraternity brothers, Craig, while we were in Albuquerque. "He showed us a good time at an... okay place." It was good coffee and good conversation. We invited him to visit us on the East Coast when he's over there on business some time, and maybe he will. He and Alex reminisced about the good old college days, before they went soft in their old age. :) Also Craig and Alex have a secret plan that will make them millions. We'd tell you about it, but then we'd have to kill you.

The cats are now officially nip-heads (aka "kitty stoners"). The first thing Bo did when he got out of the box was to try to pry open the catnip container.

And finally, a closing message from Craig:

"Come to Albuquerque--it's great!"

(He later confided in us that Albuquerque sucks.)
