		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been seventy-something days since Gustav and I&#8217;ve been looking for the right time and place to pick up the A&#38;W thread. Right now I&#8217;m sitting on the back deck in front of the fireplace finishing off the last of the handle of Makers Mark I bought in the days before the storm and am [...]]]></description>

		<title>September 1, 2008 1300 CST</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;is when Gustav is supposed to come a knocking on Louisiana&#8217;s door. The helicopters I&#8217;m hearing are real. We&#8217;re as ready as we can be here in Baton Rouge unless someone has invented some type of battery powered force field-esque falling tree defense that I&#8217;m unaware of. In which case I don&#8217;t have one. Losing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gustav and Helicopters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been a lot of waiting and watching on Gustav up to this point. I had told myself I&#8217;d know to switch gears to full on &#8216;hurricane survival mode&#8217; when I started hearing the helicopters coming in. Choppers overhead in Baton Rouge are my enduring memory of Hurricane Katrina. On the Friday before the storm [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the Beach</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Excuse me for not mentioning that Ashes &#38; Water was taking a bit of a summer vacation. Thing is, I really didn&#8217;t know I was going on vacation myself, but here it is a month and a half since my last post. It&#8217;s been a busy couple of months with Professor Fury &#38; Contessa throwing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Bloomsday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[James Joyce fans unite, for Bloomsday is upon us. I couldn&#8217;t find any direct flights to Dublin from BTR, so I&#8217;m going to celebrate Leopold Bloom&#8217;s perambulations for the first time here in Baton Rouge. The Baton Rouge Gallery at City Park is hosting a celebration (.doc file) featuring LSU&#8217;s Joyce scholar starting at 6:30 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Horses and Whiskey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve followed horse racing since doing some work for a breeding consultant when I lived in New Mexico and have always wanted to be able to say that I saw a horse win the Triple Crown. Every year since then I&#8217;ve watched the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont and seen a number of horses come [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sandusky Review, Volume 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gorjus just emailed to announce that he&#8217;s completed his third edition of the Sandusky Review. It&#8217;s available for download as a pdf and you can mail-order physical copies for $5, which is a steal considering the time and work that he puts into these things. I&#8217;m getting ready to print a copy, blow off work, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dashes: Harlan CD Release Party, etc</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow, I&#8217;m about to match the Professor Fury record for non-posting days. April came and went with a whirlwind calendar so full that it&#8217;s taken a week plus to recover from all the running around. May looks like it&#8217;s going to be a lot slower, thankfully. My parents are coming to stay the weekend for [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Westdale Monument</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Only a few days after the publication of the article that I linked to in my last post and Baton Rouge is facing a pretty big community art crisis. It&#8217;s a rather lengthy play-by-play, so I&#8217;ll just link to The Advocate&#8217;s article on the matter. Wgo had told me about the school board meeting and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sweet Tooth: The Art of Being Baton Rouge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My submission for the second issue of Culture Candy&#8217;s Sweet Tooth:
&#8220;The existence of a unified, art appreciating community brings with it the notion that there is some adhesive that binds the group together, a mutual concern or vision that provides the foundation and the impetus for further growth. Both here in Baton Rouge and in [...]]]></description>
