Having been given the moniker "Rooster" nearly 40 years ago, while serving in the U.S. Navy in Japan, I am still known as the Rooster by my old Navy buddies. One of those buddies, RL, and his wife Joanie, are dear friends with whom I've met up with for many years. We make an annual pilgrimage to the southwest, basing in Albuquerque and striking out to points near and far. This blog will highlight those travels and maybe a few others.
