I cannot tell you how tired I am of rubber chicken kazoo players.

For a while, I hadn't updated my long list of links to other blogs (IE users see it scrolling on the upper right of this page), and did so this morning, correcting to new addresses, removing dead links, etc. The most amazing thing was how few of the blogs on the list had gone out of business. Not only are we all sick, we all stay sick. Most significant change: I moved Sheila's Web Site up to the short list, because now that baseball season has started, I don't want a day to go by without getting her take on the Seattle home team. And the other thing I notice is that I have started seeking out Mariner's games on MLB Audio. Sheila, what have you done to me?

Oh, no, not another Mongolian dust cloud!

Maybe the good old days, when people sat around and sipped coffee at work and lied to each other about their romantic conquests and real-estate triumphs, are now out-dated.

As I write this, the cobbler that we made as soon as we got home from picking dewberries is cooking in the oven. A walk along the southern bank of Spanish Lake, the western shore upon which Susan grew up, brought an unexpected reward on this unseasonably cool afternoon. Also in our after-work adventures today was taking a look at a beaver dam that had been spotted by our friend Jim Foret.

Taken a few summers ago in one of those delightful Ohio River towns in southern Illinois—Elizabethtown, I think.

Amusing collection of bizarre record covers from the time when huge LP's gave designers lots of space... for better or worse.

This election may be decided by turnout, which makes me think that Mississippi may just have a new state flag before lont.

I already knew the one about your first pet's name and your first street name making your porn star name, but Elise has pointed out a site that "interviews" you for your blues singer name, too... and more!

Our friend Elizabeth Little is from Chicago, and she says that no one where she grew up could think of it being Easter Sunday without a lamb cake. They don't sell them here in south Louisiana, so she every year makes her own. And Susan and I were lucky enough to get invited for a slice! Elizabeth's kids like eating the head the best.

Collapse into bourgeois sentimentality or not, I love this picture.

I especially love the statue.

Today, with the help of our friends Bob May and Patrick Little Jr., we built a tracking box for Susan's use in furtherance of her Tom Brown discipleship. The idea is to isolate an enviornment where one can manufacture some animal tracks and learn how they change with time, weather, etc., so that tracks seen in the wild can tell the tracker how long ago the animal has been through, what he was wearing, his cell phone number, or whatever. Susan used a plan for the box found in a Tom Brown book, augmented by the notes she took when the topic was discussed when she attended Brown's school.

Here's one more tremendous benefit that comes with being a reader of Poor Clio: you are amongst the first to get a look at my new site, What I Should Have Said, which is the Web's only surefire cure for l'esprit d'escalier. About which more on that site... and I hope you will visit, read, and share!

Swamp Man meets Mountain Man: Susan took this picture last weekend when Tom Barham came to Louisiana to do a series of "Mountain Man" programs for area schools; Susan arranged for her friend Bob May to take Tom around to some favorite bayou haunts... Bob is the one with untinted glasses.

There's a reason to do this, isn't there? I'm thinking, well, we're almost ready to leave, I'll just dial up the heater and have the house a little cooled off for when we get there...
