Photo Test
I’ve been using Picasa for a while to organize my photos, and I just opened a Picasa Web Albums account, hoping to make posting photos to this blog easier. This is a test: Callie and Rowan, my parents’ new Maine Coon kitties.

I’ve been facing the challenges of working from home for a while. Over the last year I’ve had several part-time jobs at once, many of which I could do from home. Since the semester ended, I just finished teaching an English 1101 course. This required me to hold class at Georgia State, but most of [...]

Sap for a love story?
Stephanie has given us her list of Top Ten Hotties in Literature over at Natural / Artifical. Check out the blue hair, too. It is an interesting list of cute boys. Despite not being familiar with all of the beaus on the list, I took a guess at who # 1 would be, before scrolling all [...]
