@Matt:

I’m going to buy myself some boots this week.  I’ve convinced myself I deserve it.

Don't forget to buy your wife something nice, too. Wish her all the best for her recovery!

[Matt]

The funny thing is that she doesn’t appreciate retail therapy at all.  If I spent money on her she’s be pissed.

@Matt:

My plan was just to tell some random hot single woman that my wife just died and had a big life insurance policy then ask what time I should pick her up for dinner.

Yeah, that is satisfyingly simple.  Well thought through…...

Dang, Matt, that's scary!  Not sure if you mentioned it but how did it start?  Just a bad cough that wouldn't go away?

[louisbosco]

@Matt send Katie my regards. hope she gets better soon!

As far as we know.  The kids were sick then her.  The doc tested for all the stuff that’s going around but it seems like it was just a cold at first.  Then shit hit the fan.  Now I’m sick

colostomy bag geyser mishap

I think The Fall have an EP with the same title.

Really glad she’s ok, man — and take a shitload of Zicam for yourself!

sorry to hear all that, Matt. hope everyone gets well soon and has a great end to the year. Not sure if there is anything Taylor and I could do from Nashville, but definitely reach out if you need anything

Kept the girls home from school today so we could hit the snow play area at the Sandia Mnt…

On another note, we got the bill from Katie’s hospital visit which included $30,000 for being in the ICU. Good thing we still have Medicaid left over from when we were unemployed.

First, looks like you guys had a great time playing in the snow and second, healthcare here is such a racket…just crazy. Glad you’ve got it covered though

We’re in Taos, NM this weekend. It’s a small tourist area about 2 hours from ABQ. The elevation is 2000’ higher. River rafting and skiing are popular here. The JMM Taos (rhymes with mouse) is named after the town since Dennis Hopper famously lived here. Last night we ate at the Taos Mesa Brewery. Excellent vibes, beers and pizza.

Taos is a cool town. I once met JJ Cale there a couple years before he passed away.

[SKT]

Dude, one of my very favorite places. Learned to ski there in ‘79 () and have taken the kids the last two winters. I am with you guys in spirit on this excursion and hope you all have a blast!!

Also, post if you go to Taos Pueblo because we’ve missed it the last couple times and I’m curious what you think. Actually I know you guys have a plan, but I’ve got loads of recommendations if needed.

[Matt]

The Pueblo is the oldest continuously inhabited Pueblo in the US and is a UNESCO World Heritage site so we’ll def go there and get some pics.

Went to the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge today. You know Ed @steelworker will be interested. No wifi now, pics later
