And she says, baby, it's 3 AM, I must be lonely...
It has been over half a year since I updated. I didn't even do my Katrina anniversary comments this year. Well, the drought is over, but the topic this year is not Katrina ( Read more... ) -

Two Friends, Two Weddings and a Car Show
I'm just sitting here right now trying to imagine why anyone would want to own a Squidbillies DVD. Who watches that show?
Anyway, what a weekend, worthy of an LJ post. And to think this was the second crazy weekend in a row. Two weddings, two out-of-town friends, two weeks of partying. I am exhausted. Last weekend our friend Red was in town for a ( Read more... ) -
The Demon Storm - 2 Years Later
It hits me every time I cut the lawn. I will be somewhere in the middle of that most unpleasant summertime task, dusty and dirty with sweat pouring down my face and grass stuck to my pant legs, when and I will suddenly remember just how insanely lucky we were on August 29th, 2005. It is so surrealistic. Our yard is much the same today as it was in ( Read more... ) -
The Bridge, The Dining Room and Mobicon X
The Bridge
First of all, I would like to shout on the mountaintops just how happy we are to have the bridge that spans the Bay of St. Louis rebuilt at least to a degree. This is a major sign of recovery from The Demon Storm for this area and we could all use a little good news 'round these parts. petalbreeze works on the other side of the bay, so when the ( Read more... ) -
The Year Of Illness
Well, we are into the new year now and so far the most notable thing about it has been how incredibly sick both Petalbreeze and I have been. It started about three days after Christmas, when we were still on vacation in the Northeast. Petal's nephew Jake had a cold and, what with him being a cute little two year old, it was easily spread. Jamie got the ( Read more... ) -
Gerald Ford finally stumbles into his grave
A lot has been said over the past couple of days about the life of Gerald R. Ford, who became Vice President when former V.P. Spiro Agnew was forced to resign due to a tax evasion conviction. He was never elected. He ascended to the office of the President in August 1974 when his boss was forced to resign in shame. Once again, he was not elected. ( Read more... ) -
Thanksgiving
Wow, so I haven't cared about this thing since August? For shame on me! But I have been really hyper busy and haven't had the time or, for that matter, the ambition to update ( Read more... ) -
The Demon Storm
It has now been one year since The Demon Storm came to town and, somehow, we are still here. Most of the rubble and debris have been cleared from the land, and empty house lots with nothing more than slabs or piers on them serve to remind us of the things that used to be. Monetary relief has been slow to arrive and the insurance companies are good ( Read more... ) -
Randomness
Friday has finally arrived. I have been sitting in for the regular weekday Chyron operator this week and, while it hasn't been horrible, it has definitely been very busy, leaving me very little time to get anything done at home. The first three days were the worst. I've produced about 40 pages of font so far this week, with a dozen coming on ( Read more... )
