August 12, 2010 to August 15, 2012. The isolation of Truth or Consequences (TorC) was the perfect environment for me to write so I finally completed my science fiction novel "Rise of the Kek" and even started on the sequel. The plan all along was to write a trilogy. Our friend, Mary, visited us a she usually does whenever we move somewhere new. We took the Sandia Peak Tramway (the world's longest tramway) to the top at 10,378 feet. It was awe inspiring.
I ended up spending most afternoons writing and drinking beer at Rotary Park beside the Rio Grande River just two blocks from the house. There wasn't a whole lot to do in TorC.
For various reasons, not the least of which TorC was very hot and very dry and very boring, we decided to move to Hawaii. We found some renters, then spent a couple of weeks in the local area and Albuquerque to insure that the renters were working out. After that, it was off to Hawaii.
