Even Newer Mexico

This is another of those posts that was written well in advance of its publication date, because...well, because I couldn't publicly talk about the subject matter at the time that I originally wrote it. But now (March 11, 2017) I can talk about it, since the subject matter is now public (see the last paragraph).

Back when I wrote this post, a long long time ago, I was working on a series of letters from my company to the New Mexico State Police. (Yes, I was still in Proposals back then.)

One day, I was alerted that a request for a new letter to this customer was coming.

My boss wasn't in the office at the time, so I sent her an email to alert her of the upcoming request. The title of my email? "Even Newer Mexico."

While the title itself may (or may not) merit a smirk, there was one thing that I neglected to tell my boss.

You see, this was not the first time that I had used the phrase "Even Newer Mexico."

Several years before this, long before I had ever written a proposal letter to this particular customer, I was intermittently continuing my world-famous music career as Ontario Emperor, and composed a MIDI file (part of a particular collection) entitled "Even Newer Mexico."

Trust me, the MIDI file wouldn't have helped us get the business with this customer.

P.S. Obviously, I am not the first person in the entire universe to come up with the phrase "Even Newer Mexico." For example, Texas Twisted was using the phrase in 2003.

P.P.S. It's interesting that this post about an old MIDI file could be published this week. If you've read my recent posts on my Empoprise-MU music blog, I've been talking about my world-famous music career as Ontario Emperor a lot lately. But no, I don't plan to convert "Even Newer Mexico" to MP3 format.
