		<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>

		<title>Play Ball!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Though the Major League Baseball season officially started last week with two games in Japan, the season has kicked off on the home front tonight with my team, the Atlanta Braves facing off against division rivals the Washington Nationals in the nation&#8217;s capital. As always it&#8217;s fun to see the familiar faces of your team, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spring Things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many congratulations to BobbyP and MsXTC on the arrival of their first born!

BobbyP reports that both mother and child are doing well and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spring Break!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In that ever futile yet always waged battle against lost youth, I begin my 36 hours of Spring Break. As with last year&#8217;s mini-Spring Break to see Yo La Tengo at Tipitina&#8217;s, this year finds me on a trip to NOLA back to Tips, this time to see Wilco on the second night of their [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Pride of Kiln, Mississippi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Along with most of the football following world I&#8217;d like to give a public thanks to quarterback Brett Favre, who announced his retirement from professional football today. I consider it one of my distinct pleasures as a football fan to have been around to watch him play the game and as a fellow Mississippian, it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Everything Under the Sun&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, word on the street, at least amongst my contacts, was that Wednesday&#8217;s eclipse was beautiful to behold, at least if you were living in Minnesota. It seems that there was one huge, single cloud covering the rest of the United States. So Maddie Potter and I harrumphed a bit about that, then placated ourselves [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Mercury Retrograde</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For someone who regularly grumbles at sunny weekdays observed through the prison bars of my office window that then give way to rainy weekends, I have to give ups to the Universe for dealing Baton Rouge two stellar weekends, weather-wise, in a row. Even two lines of storms passing through saw fit to do their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Feet on the Ground, Head in the Sky</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I survived my weekend of carnival, but I have to say that two days of it was plenty enough for me. The guys down in NOLA are slowing trickling back into the real world after their week long Celebration O&#8217; Excess, and I have to say I don&#8217;t envy them much on that score [...]]]></description>
