1. I love Tony Hillerman books but I had to stop reading them because if there's an archaeologist in them, that's the evil-doer. I am understandably unhappy to be painted as a murderous grave-robber.

4. You're on the east coast? Very cool! Where are you? I miss visiting both Seattle and NYC. I've spent time in the Boston area and vacationed around NYC. As for the museums, I'm so torn. I know it's vital to understand the depths to which humanity can sink and to understand so that it never happens again but the experience bears a striking resemblance to wallowing in a fetid sewer.
