Finally fixed the cut-and-paste issue I was having with backposts. For some reason, when I pasted text copy into the ’Post’ box, I was getting changes in font or size (or both), sometimes in mid-paragraph. No matter how I tried to re-format the original material or repaste, I kept having the same problem: what started as clean [...]

Dispatches From The Front Yard – Day 8
Posted in Destin, Lafayette, tagged Destin, Lafayette, work on January 18, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
It’s the end of the world as I know it, and I feel strangely ambivalent.
Let’s see . . . I’m still married to Amy. I still drink beer and play videogames. I still wear tropical shirts whenever possible. I continue to eschew red meat. And, oddly, I’m still pretty darn happy.

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 [...]
Anguiano Held Hostage: Day 108

I am well and truly sick of zydeco music.
Radio in Lafayette is much better than radio in Tallahassee, if only because we receive FM stations from Baton Rouge as well. Tallahassee may have a wealth of AM stations, but that does little for those of us who dislike Jed’s Hog Report or [...]

Hmm. Apparently the gubernatorial election was held on Friday or Saturday. I had intended to vote, but I sort of assumed that the election would be held on a Tuesday, like everywhere else in the country. Grumblegrumblegrumble . . . .
It’s an overcast Monday as I write this, getting a much later [...]

With all due regrets, I recognize that I have been lax in my duties as correspondent. Even given the undemanding schedule I have allowed myself in these mailings, I nevertheless find myself to be a full week or so behind. I duly apologize to my loyal readers out there, if any do in fact [...]
Anguiano Held Hostage: Day 72

The streets of Lafayette were crammed with traffic at 7:45 this morning, much to my surprise. Typically, anything that happens at 8:00 am is a surprise to me, if only because I’m unlikely to be awake enough to notice. Of course, Amy has an 8:00 am class on Tuesdays, so I find myself awake [...]

Hello and good morning! Tuesday is one of Amy’s early days, with her first class at 8:00 am, so I get up earlier than usual and drive her to school. Love or masochism: you make the call! Now it’s just a few minutes past ten, the air outside is a temperate 75 degrees Fahrenheit, [...]

It’s been a gray and overcast week. We’ve had a bit of rain but mostly it’s just been threatening. The sun’s been out today for the first time in several days, but mostly I’ve spent it inside. My daily routine consists primarily of trying to keep Amy on task with her thesis. Her classes [...]
