It's Monday, January 3, 2011 and I just spent my last night in New Mexico for a while. I'm going to miss the green chile, posole, rellenos, enchiladas, bizcochitos, the Rio Grande, the luminarias, the adobe, the mesa, the Taos Ski Valley, the sunsets and the smell of burning cedar and pinon. The best meal of the trip was at a tiny spot named Rellenos.  http://whereishosea.blogspot.com/2011/01/happy-new-year.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Hosea Rosenberg)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696401638515895052.post-6942713088934893433Wed, 11 Aug 2010 18:51:00 +00002010-08-11T12:51:35.246-06:00I have had the most incredible year.  But it hasn't been without darkness.  I just returned home from a week with my dad.  It's been so hard watching someone you love slowly fade.  It's just another reminder of how quickly life passes.  Do what you love.  Love what you do.  Love those who are in your life because you never know how long they will be with you.

Sorry if you've been following a blog that hasn't seen much action in the past few weeks.  I've been a very busy guy and have forgotten to keep up with this whole blog thing.  I've got 10 minutes before I get on a 22 hour flight to Hong Kong - so I'm going to be brief.
