I Congratulate Myself for Failing to Become a Lobb...

I couldn’t be a lobbyist because I am essentially lazy. Though I do a lot of things and find myself perpetually overworked, I rarely do anything that doesn’t make sense to me on some...

When the Saints Go Marching In

I’m in shock. The Saints have won the Super Bowl, and my first reaction is pure and simple shock. I’m not sure I can believe it. “When the Saints win the Super Bowl” can...

It was a cold and cloudy day…

Mowgli went exploring for sunshine. I don’t think he found it. Callie opted to just nap it out, though she is starting to prepare for Mardi Gras. And Sharon started fighting back against her...

As for the Saints

As for the Saints who are on the earth, “They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.” Psalm 16:3 I’ll be honest. This hasn’t been a great week. I’ve been home sick....

Rainy Days and Thursdays

I’d love to attribute some pretty daydreams to Mowgli’s time of sitting in the window watching the rain, but the truth is there were birds in the tree outside that window. I doubt his dreams...

Keep the Arts School in Brookhaven

This week I’ve been bombarded with news of what our state legislature might be up to. None of the talk about what might be happening to education in Mississippi due to budget cuts sounds good. As...

The Daily Blog

I’m not sure I can do it. I was sure from the start that I wouldn’t make it to 365 consecutive blogging days without a break. My previous record was about 70 days, and I thought maybe I could beat...

Contentment Diary 02/01/2010

Today was one of those days. Yes, a day it was. Nothing bad happened. It wasn’t that kind of day. It was just a day in which I showed up, did some stuff, and went home again all while carrying around...

Dinner

Stuffed Pepper and Cabbage A little of this. A little of that. Stuff the that in the this. Bake a while. Put some cheese on top. Bake a little more. Serve with cabbage. Enjoy. The that is my own...

Anyone who shares the same library database subscriptions is welcome to use them.

  • Twitpic as Writing Prompt January 26, 2010
    I uploaded one picture to Twitpic just to see how it works. I’m no expert, but I have been wondering about easy ways to have students do their own version of the kind of photo-blogging I’ve been doing lately over on my other blog. I had a colleague once who would send her [...] […]

  • Writing About Digital Ethics January 15, 2010
    I’ve decided to use the theme “digital ethics” in my Composition II class this semester. I like to use themes in the research writing classes because they give us a way to bond as a class around discussable issues rather than just MLA procedures, which quite frankly are not the deal they once were [...] […]
