I think you have lots of reasons to be optimistic. The way they seem to be going I bet it will be sooner rather than later for older people here.

New Mexico seems pretty organized with distribution, and seems to prefer getting doses to people sooner rather than having a perfectly unimpeachable hierarchy of order.

The pre-registration site you pointed out is a great thing. You'll know as soon as they have a dose for you. A lot of states don't seem to be doing that.

The one thing I found was that notice was short - less than 12 hours for me. It was well worth dropping everything to get in for a shot. I can only hope that can be improved, probably it will.
