Yours truly took up residence in New Mexico on this date in 1999, thereby becoming NewMexiKen.
New Mexico ranks fifth for longevity among the states where I’ve lived — after Michigan, Virginia, California and Arizona. I’ve also resided in Texas, Nevada and New York, though the latter two just for a few weeks each during the same summer. Long enough to have a job in each, though. (Well, actually, the New York job was in New Jersey, but I resided in Jackson Heights, Queens.)
