Last night Susan and I completed what turned out to be a four-full-days project of installing some new furniture in my office. One and a half days to build the furniture, the rest of the time to process the gridlock of distribution of stuff. Wanted to move a small bookshelf from the study/office into the spare bedroom, so that meant clearing out some other accumulated junk from that room. Because storage was being re-arranged, closets were all cleaned out (they have floors, we have learned) and neatly re-arranged, with lots of the containers that successfully tamed my office closet in an earlier round of organizational frenzy. The attic got into the act somehow. Our trash pickup the other day was almost enough that they had to radio into the yard to dispatch an extra truck. But now it's all settled down, and I have a better work space, and a solemn vow to keep everything in every room and closet as neat as it is for this moment.

Great idea; now we have to wait and see if any cameras come back...

This looks promising, and is already fun to play with.

I find that there is, in an odd way, something rather sweet and tender about this.

NY bans hand-held cell phones; but isn't there a health risk from what might accumulate on those little ear thingies?

I have been putting together a small web site of photos from my dear hometown of New Iberia, which at this point has current photos of many of the commercial buildings of downtown, a few historical photos, and something a little more offbeat in the form of sidewalk information.

"In the locker room, these young Christian men protect their feet and leave the greatest impression!" Sent to me by my teenage friend Maggie Simon, who suggests that her wearing of these sandals might expiate the sin of sleeping late on the occasional Sunday morning... should she ever do such a thing.

South Louisiana, where we live, is heavily Catholic, and it is not uncommon to see a piece of religious statuary in an individual's yard, especeially one celebrating a devotion to Mary. I spotted this one today in Plaincourtville, LA, and admired it for its rather original pedestal display.
