Gloom and solemnity are entirely out of place in even the most rigorous study of an art originally intended to make glad the heart of man. --- Ezra Pound

Life near the Big Easy

Much has changed, though much stays the same, since the last time I posted a blog.  I am now officially a Ph.D.; although, I won't have my official transcript or diploma UNTIL I pay the U of A(pathy).  Buggerers.  Whore-son dogs, as Pound would call 'em.  I'm also living in Baton Rouge and teaching at LSU.  Geaux Tigers!

It was a difficult move since I wasn't even making enough at Southside ISD to get by.  Thank GOD for good friends.

And, it's my first Mardi Gras in South Louisiana.  The King cake here is DEEE-licious!  More importantly, those extra days off will be savored far more than tasty baked goods.  Maybe then I can catch up on grading. Ha! I'm better now that I don't have to write a dissertation in my 'spare time' but I still struggle with the discipline required to grade 60+ papers quickly and impartially.

Another change is that my dear old cat, Maui, is no longer with us.  She passed away in August and before suffering through yet another move.
