Albeit Very Slowly In effort to stave off the inevitable decay brought about by getting older, I have begun to run. Every morning at 5:30-ish, I drag my ponderous (according to Wii Fit) bulk out of bed and hurl it sluggishly down the darkened streets of the Red Stick. For 40 or so minutes I [...]

My intern gave me this accident report today in reference to a 1/4-inch scratch just south of his right elbow he got while lifting a crate last week. I’ll translate below if you have trouble reading it and I’ve redacted names to protect the innocent.

Fall is sweet. In southern Louisiana, fall is 77 degrees with 35% humidity, and the 5 days of fall we have every year are spectacular. People smile, they have energy and, if the local football teams are winning, your chances of getting cut off and yelled at in traffic are reduced by like 8 or [...]

I’m in a marketing seminar. Joel Warady tells me that I should be blogging twice a week. He also admitted that he stopped blogging in January because he was “becoming consumed with it.” This is almost certainly the most enlightening class I’ve ever attended. His frequent mentions of Enjoy Life, a company he represents, have [...]

Not only is the oil spill potentially devastating to wildlife and the entire gulf ecosystem – not only might it have economic impacts likely to persist for decades – not only is it further evidence that the petroleum industry cares nothing for people, merely profit – I have to work weekends. Isn’t that the greatest [...]
Late in 2007, around our first wedding anniversary, Mrs. G and I found out that Tiny was on his way. That Christmas I commemorated his anticipated arrival with an ornament; it was a bun in an oven. Each Christmas since then, I’ve made a new one. On Tiny’s first Christmas I made a cast of [...]
Tiny has been trying to seriously injure himself for the last two and a half years. He has employed various means including, but not limited to: doors, floors, walls, bats, cats, slides, shoes and concrete. This time it was a rock lodged in his head that prompted a worried call and an MMS from his [...]
Children, especially toddlers, have tiny bodies with great, huge, heavy heads, and very little good sense. So any time they move (which in Tiny’s case is all the time) it’s like they’re challenging the world to a head-butting contest that they are destined to lose. Today, though, it was another kid who stepped in front [...]

I got my birthday present a week or so early (Thanks, Mrs. G!). It’s a fantastic Digital SLR camera. And while I still love taking lo-fi shots with my phone, I am really happy to have the opportunity to try my hand at portraiture. Now if that new portrait lens would somehow find its way [...]
Tiny, who’ll be 21 months old Thursday (that’s “almost two” for people who favor solar age above lunar), saw some change on a chair in my bedroom this morning and became very excited. He really enjoys putting coins in his piggy bank, so I told him he could have them if he helped me count [...]
