One of my closest friends, Marcy, is from El Paso, Texas. If you're not from Texas then you probably don't realize how far away that is for someone living in Houston, Texas. The drive is over 700 miles, which could take up to 12 hours, if not more. No one in their right mind would drive to El Paso from Houston (or vice versa) over the weekend for fun. So I decided to fly out on a Friday night. To my utter delight, I landed in El Paso on a cool, breezy Friday night. October in
