Louisiana Governor Blanco has designated today, August 31st as a day of prayer for the tragic situation in New Orleans. If you pray, please do. If you don’t, please give up some good thoughts.

PLEASE DONATE TO THE RED CROSS.
WE NEED MONEY. LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY.
This situation is unimaginable.
Don’t pay attention to all the sensational [...]

Please take 5 minutes and donate whatever you can spare to the Red Cross National Disaster Relief Fund.
The American Red Cross is saying that the disaster from Katrina will be the biggest relief effort they have ever mobilized. Bigger than 9/11 or any other hurricanes.
Last night I went to bed thinking New Orleans had [...]

MacGyver turns 17 today. I picked her out of a litter of kittens for my 12th birthday in 1988. I had wanted a tiger striped cat, which there were some in the litter, but when I saw her, I knew I had to have her. So I got my tortise-shell fluffy girl who I had [...]

I’m not even sure what to say about Katrina.
I woke up this morning and the first thing I heard was that it had been upgraded to the nightmare of Category 5.
I’ve been glued to the tv since I got back from St. Louis early this afternoon.
I’ve only been to NOLA once, nearly three years [...]

Photos from last night.
It was a really, really great show. And I have a lot more to say about it, but right now I’m at my cousin Becky’s and I need to fix her router/network setup.
And I’m completely freaked out about the hurricane heading for New Orleans. This could be seriously extremely bad. Please toss [...]

After Under the Banner of Heaven, I needed a bit of fluff. I had seen this book on the discount shelves at B&N and thought it looked fun. I wasn’t nearly as well-written as some of the other chicklit that is out there, but it was quick and I did identify with the main [...]

Movable Type 3.2 will be out very shortly and Gallery 2 is nearly ready as well.
What this means is that you, my readers, will soonish no longer have to look at this crap default template and that I’m going to redesign my whole site and update it with the ideas that have been rattling [...]

First off, thanks to all my readers for all your advice/encouragement from my last post. I have my sanity back now. I’m going to try to post more about the gym/eating habits, even if they are boring, to keep myself more accountable. I had forgotten I have access to Self Diet Club, even if it [...]

Confession time. Its day three of my South Beach diet and I don’t think I can choose to make it. I know very well that I need to deal with eating better and eating less, but I also know myself and know what I like to eat. I have problems with vegetables (oh the [...]

This past weekend was an enjoyable time. The Samuel side of my family held their annual reunion. Four generations were represented in the fifty some odd people who were there. As per usual, I took photos, which I will be making into a book for my Aunt Beth, who is the last member of her [...]
