christmas is cancelled

okay, so maybe not christmas, but mexico is cancelled, so it might as well be christmas. the problem with people of my age in general is that they lack the ability to firmly commit to anything, even if it's just a little road trip. and no, i do not exclude myself from that group. so mexico is not happening, but new mexico is. we're going to go to mesa verde national park, which is actually in colorado, but we're taking a day trip down to farmington, nm because it's there. it could very well be that there is nothing at all to do in farmington, but we never know until we try. with the right company, there will always be something to do that has some entertainment value. anyway, we'll be stopping at 4 corners, just because it's there and it's close. then we'll drive home going up through colorado and then back to salt lake. this is much closer, cheaper, safer, you get the idea. we are still road tripping, which was really the main point to begin with. plus, mesa verde is on the list of 1000 place to see before you die. and i have the national park pass, so i just saved my co-travelers a few bucks. well, some of them.
