Because that's where the next deposition I have to cover is being held. Santa Fe, New Mexico, on Thursday morning.
To make matters worse, I have to a) be in New York City at court conferences for the next two afternoons; b) leave for Santa Fe almost directly after one of those conferences, c) get to Santa Fe by car from Albuquerque, because I will miss the last flight to Santa Fe because of the court conference in NYC, and d) stay at least until Friday, because there are so few flights out of Santa Fe and Albuquerque at the end of the business day that I will certainly miss the last one if, as I have every reason to expect, the deposition lasts all day Thursday.
And if, as I have some reason to expect, the deposition continues into Friday, I won't get back until 5:20 a.m. on Saturday morning.
So if you don't hear from me for a few days, it's because I'm on the road with too little energy to post (though I expect to bring my laptop with me). Either that, or it will be because I took that famous wrong turn at Albuquerque.

Also, an old housemate of mine, Carol J. (formerly J, now Carol T.), lives in New Mexico with her husband. E-mail me, and I'll try to put the two of you in touch.
You will see the most beautiful mountains, be amazed by how lush the desert is, be surrounded by fantastic art, and be fed marvelous food.
One bit about the food: Everywhere you eat, the waitperson will ask you, "red or green?" This refers to chile pepper sauce to go with whatever you're eating. Green is the hotter one, if that matters to you.
Have a great time!!!

Another worthwhile thing to do, if you have several free hours, is to visit an ancient Pueblo Indian settlement. I'm sure there must be a Santa Fe visitor center or something that would tell you how to get there. It's about 1.5 hour drive out of town, if I remember correctly. It's a site where Indians used to live in pre-Columbian times. They lived in caves in the mountains. Most of those caves are high up in the face of the rock, and there are wooden ladders you can climb to get inside a cave. (I don't know how authentic those ladders are. They obviously don't date back to the times when the settlement was populated, but I don't know if the Indians used them at all, or if they climbed the rock instead. So I'm not sure if one can get an authentic Indian experience from visiting this place. :-)) There are trails in the mountains that lead to ancient sacred sites; some of them require climbing long ladders, so I didn't do that as I don't trust my sense of balance all that much. :-) But it's really worth visiting.

However, as I said to
