Relocation is traumatic, necessary, impactful. Having spent most of my 51 year lifespan in various areas of Texas, wholesale relocation to New Mexico is a huge move for me and my partner. We’re selling a house, consolidating living space, inheriting a dog, moving 4000 feet up in elevation (where’s the oxygen?), and generally changing everything we do on a day-to-day basis. One through-line – a bartender / restauranteur / musician around the corner to keep us sane.
