A couple weeks back, I ventured into the cold and spent the better part of a Saturday shaking my torso in an intermittently successful attempt to keep a PVC hoop from hitting the ground at my feet. The occasion was a free hooping workshop, organized by our friend Marie and taught by Lara of SuperHooper.

Not On Facebook! An Exercise in Irony

Breaking News: I’m not on Facebook!!!
There’s kind of a story there. See, blogging requires a certain level of devotion that I evidently don’t have. Part of the problem is that just a general change of scheduling, so that I’m preoccupied with other things at the times that I had previously spent on the computer. Part [...]
Another Saturday Morning

And another hangover. Not a surprise, but never something to look forward to.
I’m using my wife’s laptop computer at the moment. The archaic Dell that I usually use was getting fixed but never quite did. We were able to rescue all the data from it, but it’s barely functional otherwise. Oh well.
Thank goodness all the [...]
As I was saying previously, we gave the bunnies away. They were cute, they were sweet, but they were high-maintenance. If you want to read about their arrival in our lives, I’ve back-posted those letters here and here. Amy tells me that it’s a heart-warming story, and she recommends you read it.
Bear in mind that [...]
Yep, life is a big barrel o’ crap right now.
As I type this, my wife Amy is in Prescott, Arizona. She’s trapped in a house with her mother, Penny, and her mother’s significant other, Roger, with no escape until her flight home on Thursday. I, on the other hand, am trapped in our home with three birds, [...]
Unproductivity

Sorry, haven’t blogged anything in a while. Part of it is that when I’ve had free time, I just haven’t been up to any serious effort to write anything. Part of it is that I haven’t had much free time. My wife Amy is going to be leaving town for about ten days, and it’s [...]
Dispatches From The Front Yard – Day 613
Posted in Amy, Destin, Dispatches, pets, tagged Amy, bunnies, Destin, Dispatches, pets on September 16, 2007 | 1 Comment »
So we found ourselves the proud new owners of two rabbits. Well, more chagrined than proud, but you get the point. Amy immediately started researching rabbit care on the internet, and I immediately started playing video games. She fairly quickly figured out that our new pets were miniature lop-eared rabbits, found a couple of [...]
Dispatches From The Front Yard – Day 598

“Honey, what’s that under your car?”
In the last couple of years, I’ve gotten interested in the notion of the dramatic climax and how it’s become misunderstood in popular culture. If I recall correctly from 8th grade English class, the dramatic climax is that tipping point where the action is irrevocably committed to a [...]

Apparently there’s a football game today, because I can hear cursing and screaming from my neighbors and the Saints have been mentioned. I presume they’re not referring to my letter about to St. Drogo and Albertus Magnus, but all things are possible.
Of course, I also am not exactly sure what I’m typing, because [...]
Anguiano Held Hostage: Day 130

Yep, it’s been a long week. Amy had spent the previous week in a joyful blend of thesis defense, lumbar problems, and some kind of sinus-clogging viral crud. This past week has been a festival of pets. Of course, Amy was still suffering the cloggy phlegmmy sinusy problem, but she’s always been good at [...]
