Bonnie's Story
Life
Have been living in New Mexico since '73. Married in '77. Son, Emmet, born in 1979; he graduated from HMS in '99. Have had tons of fun being an archaeologist (before and after a degree from the University of New Mexico) for decades, working throughout the Southwest and in France. Knees gone for good, so am back to thinking and research: theory, collapse of complex societies, economic anthropology and the bases of ideologies, complexity, etc. Being a gadfly in this stuff gives me the excuse to attend professional meetings in interesting places and look at archaeology, e.g., rode Bedouin horses down through Petra, Jordan, and an energy/societies meeting in Turin which gave me an excuse to skip over to Milan and hear Puccini at La Scala. A lifelong dream.
With my connection to the Collapse of Complex Societies I got peripheral schmoozing w/the incredible young people involved with Leonardo deCaprio's documentary, "The 11th Hour." (And the answer, girls, is "Yes!")
Full of beans as always but stamina, alas, diminished. No jazz bands, sailboats, nervous breakdowns or mishpuck-itis (my usual diversions) at pr...Expand for more
esent, but have acquired a Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite (my dad had the Big Healey which ruined me for any other car) and a daily-driver '65 Austin-Healey 3000 that is wicked good fun and one of the most beautiful cars ever designed. These have given me an excuse to put on an all-British car show at our local Highland Games. Still driving a serious 4WD down into Canyonlands and the San Juan River.
Update: recent trips to scientific meetings include one month in China (including visiting much archaeology and team-teaching w/grad students at Beijing Normal University) and another trip to Sweden--currently my favorite country. Also got to a brief professional meeting in the Midlands in September 2013 but scampered off to Orkney to look at the incredible archaeology and take a lesson in driving a pair of horses.
Update 2014: owing to fortuitous find of a Morgan gelding a couple of years ago in idaho/Utah, am back in the horse scene. Ride/drive everywhere, mountains, on Georgia O'Keefe's old Ghost Ranch, giving demos, lessons to handicapped kids. Am currently serving humbly on the board of the New Mexico Horse Council.
