If I haven’t written here as much lately, perhaps it’s because I feel constrained from public discussion of many of the topics which are currently…
This is what I like to listen to in my office. Not too distracting but with enough of an edge it doesn’t put me to…
Today makes ten years I’ve been working here at the University. Somehow this seems more significant than marking ten years in New Orleans. Not sure…
I’m back at work today after a good twelve day break. It was nice being home and spending more time with the girl, who is…
The last few days have taught me a couple things. Taking care of a baby is hard work. Taking care of a sick baby is…
Unless I have a clear plan and a grim determination, I won’t get any work done on the house.
Bad news everywhere. The sunken barge shifted in the Mississippi last night, spilling yet more oil into the river. Stacy Head (my Council rep) is attacking Jerome Smith for no good reason. Derrick “Saggy Pants” Shepherd is going down in flames.
But I don’t care, because I got a new monitor at work.

I’m back at work today after a three-month leave. It feels weird to be sitting in my office instead of taking care of baby or sweating some renovation details.
It seems today is also my boss’ birthday. Funny thing, her husband is a local blogger, but she doesn’t read his blog as a rule, just like my wife doesn’t read my blog.

Of course, over the past months I haven’t seen much of my co-workers, so this blog may have been a good way for them to catch up on my life. But I do sincerely hope that my boss isn’t reading this now…
I’m taking Wednesdays off this month to work on the house. One of my co-workers was mildly astonished. He’d much prefer to take a vacation…
I got a job! John Byers hired me to help with a renovation he’s doing. I spent about four hours this morning pulling nails out…
