  • Six Monkeys:Girlfriend grapples with garden-variety gripes

    Dear Monkeys,

    It was weird timing.

    For months and months, my girlfriend hadn’t realized much of anything, much less had an epiphany. Her days consisted, as they still do, of making plans and mostly keeping them. But odd things have happened along the way, unscheduled things.

    She used to read novels; now she reads Yahoo! articles on cutting 100 calories a day. Driving, or any time she is alone, it is no longer the immortal ideas of Chaucer that preoccupy her but an “escalating wrinkle” she sees between her eyebrows.

  • Girls basketball: Toppers down Sundevils, earn a tiebreaker

    ESPAÑOLA — If the District 2AAAA race doesn’t turn out like the Los Alamos Hilltopper girls basketball team wants, it won’t be because of Tuesday’s game.

    Los Alamos, which still needs a lot of things to go right in order to win the district regular season championship, is still mathematically in the hunt for that title and the automatic bid to the state tournament that goes with it.

    Tuesday, the Hilltoppers upended the Española Valley Sundevils on the Sundevils’ home floor and kept themselves alive for the 2AAAA title.
