I was recently castigated for not posting enough cute baby pictures here. Hopefully that will assuage my critics for the time being. The girl’s just…

A new restaurant has opened on Bienville at N. Rendon, just a couple blocks from our house. Of course Xy and I went to check…
Every year I see further evidence that Dr. King’s legacy is not being honored so much as perverted. I got this spam e-mail last week…
Xy’s 40th birthday present finally arrived.
Playing the hand that was dealt me.
Good Yule y’all! …from Persephone, Sebastian and Santa. And from Xy and me as well.
One of the key tensions in my relationship with Xy has to do with television. To put it bluntly, she’s for it and I’m against…
You started crawling in earnest right after you made nine months. Now it’s hard to remember when you weren’t mobile. Of course you’ve been getting…
It took me a while to get around to scanning this photo/art from the girl’s daycare. Better late than never, yes?
So we got a new range to replace our ancient fire hazard. A few gotchas along the way. The old stove was 36″ wide. Most…
Here’s something I’ve never seen before: It’s snowing in New Orleans. Update: So early this morning as I was taking the girl to school, I…
Here’s a number of Mid-City things on my mind lately: Looks like they’re working to renovate the bar at the corner of Bienville and Rendon.…
Did I mention that she’s started crawling? No longer belly-flopping. Honest-to-gosh hands-and-knees full-on crawling. When she sees something that interests her, and she heads for…

The results from yesterday’s doctor visit confirmed our suspicion: Persephone’s ear infection never entirely cleared up, even though she took a full course of antibiotic.…
Whenever something happens to one of our cellphones, it precipitates drama. I guess it’s an unanticipated side-effect of not having a landline. Anyway, Friday was no exception. When T-Mobile confirmed my phone was busted beyond repair, I decided it was time to join Xy on Verizon. By complete coincidence, Friday was the day the Blackberry Storm rolled out, RIM’s answer to the iPhone, available only thru Verizon. The Verizon website was basically unusable. Luckily when I drove out to the store, the storm had passed, so to speak.
It’s been nine months since you were born. That means you’ve been out here in the world roughly the same length of time you were…
I took the day off yesterday to make some repairs to our deck. Specifically, I replaced three old warped and worn-out boards with new lumber.…
We got our photos back from the homecoming dance. Here’s Persephone with her date, Sebastian. I was intrigued by the setup. They use a digital…
