I’ve reached the peak of my twenties, in that I’m in my final year of being able to claim the decade. Though, in all likelihood, I will be celebrating my twenty-ninth birthday over and over again. Age is just a number, but I may just choose to hang out at this specific one for a while. I just have to figure out how I can stop aging yet my kids keep growing. It’s hard to ignore the fact that my oldest is in school full-time these days. I own a kindergartner. I have such great plans for the time that Kaleb is away at schoo... Full story

I have explained to her that these years are exactly like high school football Hell...

PORTALES — In 20 seasons at Eastern New Mexico University’s volleyball coach, Mike Maguire built a program that ran off 16 consecutive winning seasons, including two Lone Star Conference regular-season championships and capped by a 25-9 mark and a trip to the NCAA Division II regional finals in 2004.

As students awaited their auditions for News 3 New Mexico Wednesday, the air-conditioned conference room at the KENW broadcast center offered a brief respite from the 100-degree temperatures outside. Down the hallway, however, students would feel the heat of television lights, welcoming them into months of hands-on experience and an audience of people who may never set foot in Portales, let alone on the campus of Eastern New Mexico University. Wednesday was the second day of a three-day closed audition process at the... Full story
