Hola! I'm Gil Garduņo and if you're reading this, you either stumbled across this site accidentally or as a result of my duplicitous registering of the word "sex," the most frequently searched word on Web search engines.  Actually, since I didn't register the word "sex" with any search engine, you're probably here because you're a family member who feels obligated to read this prosaic drivel or a friend trying to discern whether my use of polysyllabic words is either panegyric, vituperative or both.  In either case, bienvenido.  Welcome!

Although "thrilling" is not an adjective usually ascribed to me, "thrill" does rhyme with "Gil" so I'm exercising some literary license here.  Unlike many self-titled Web sites in which self-aggrandizing egotists pay lionizing tribute to themselves, this is not an "I love me" page...not that I'm too modest for that.

So why create a Web site?  The subject matter I attempt feebly to document here has already been captured in colorful prose, creative metaphors, and enrapturing tales by writers far superior to me.  Their words, however, are not mine, albeit the sentimentality may be.  Although I'm not a raconteur of talent or repute, this Web site is MY humble effort to put into words what I love most about things I love.  

New Mexico, whose surreal azure skies graduate in depth of color the higher above the horizon you look; whose well-deserved sobriquet, the "Land of Enchantment" falls short in describing the preternatural spell this state casts upon visitors with receptive souls.

Dogs--living proof that unconditional love and loyalty abound in this cold, cynical world; four-legged affirmation that God loves us by deeming us worthy enough to take care of his most trusting and faithful creation.

The United Kingdom--a mystical land of history and lore to which I return often, if only in my dreams.
