What an incredibly long time between posts. I honestly thought about posting in my blog many times between March and now, a whole new year. And so much important stuff happened in the interim that I could have written about, but I guess it was just too difficult for a while and then having stopped posting because I couldn't allowed me to get too ( Read more... )

I am in Selma at the moment. I came back for the Pilgrimage, and I was very much looking forward to it this year because Elizabeth decided to come this year--she didn't have a competing conference of some sort. So I flew out on Thursday and was picked up in Birmingham by my mom's next-door neighbor, who is the daughter of our neighbor when I was ( Read more... )

I'm going to do something totally useless here, but maybe it will make me feel better. I remember when I was at Mizzou, I wished I could give my opinions about the stories in The Maneater. Remember, kids, this was before I had ever blogged or really knew what a blog was ( Read more... )

I am sad to say that a trip to New Orleans will not happen in time to see Mardi Gras madness. Why does it have to be so soon? Oh, well, New Orleans is always a great place to be and I will enjoy being there whever I do get around to making it down there. This crazy blizzard is really hampering everything. I can't wait for the roads to get ( Read more... )

I am sorry to report that life has been pretty dull lately. No parties, no naked escapades, nothing. How depressing is that ( Read more... )

It finally happened--Norfolk got a decent amount of snow. And how it has crippled lots of things in the area. Tons of cultural events cancelled, church services cancelled, school cancelled, everything coming to halt ( Read more... )
