The New York Times > Arts > Frank Rich: On ‘Moral Values,’ It’s Blue in a Landslide Just made my way through this article, which I think is interesting. In terms of culture, I think Rich is right, blue is going to win. There’s too much money to be made. It’s in the G.O.P.’s interest…

I really love blogging. I know it sounds silly, but now I’m really sorry I didn’t start blogging when I first discovered it two years ago. I read the occasional blog back then, but not the way I have for the past year. I’m so glad I forced myself–wasn’t hard really–to blog every day. And…

I still need to create a blurb for a class I’m co-teaching with Mr. GM (more on that another time) and contribute some links and…

Work the last few days has been difficult at best. The building next to us is undergoing a major renovation, which will be good for us in the long run as the two buildings are probably going to be connected in the end. In the short term, however, the construction crew has located its diesel…

I am spending Thanksgiving with my mother in Memphis, TN. I haven’t been there in over two years. For one thing, it’s very far away now and we have to fly and that costs a lot of money. But perhaps more importantly, I have a strained relationship with my mother. I know there are lots…

My life feels out of control. Which is odd because I was working really hard to get it under control. I’m not sure what happened. Maybe it’s being in Bushworld. I was thinking as I was making dinner and it was taking longer than I thought and trying to remember where to drop off youngest…
