Lurasidone with out a prescription Born on the Ides of October, 70 B.C. Happy 2,078th birthday, Mr. Maro. I was surprised and impressed to hear several students at Wyoming Catholic College cite the Aeneid as their favorite of all the books they had read at college. He is the poets’ poet, but this rarely happens with people who read Vergil […]

15-Oct-09A Reflection on the 365th day.
23-Sep-09buy Neurontin online without dr approval This is the 365th day this website has been up. I have to thank mattw and mr. tween for encouraging me to start it, handling all the technical details, and for being my two commenters.

Packing up the truck this morning to head to Virginia, I came out to find the rear tire outrageously flat, which it was not the night before. My first flat – I’ve never even had one on a bicycle before. Of course, changing it ended up being difficult, because the metal frame holding the spare […]

The Angola Rodeo.
21-Apr-09On Sunday I took a trip up to the maximum-security Louisiana State Penitentiary, known as Angola. The prison is located on 18,000 acres along the Mississippi River and is often called “The Farm.” It is apparently a lineal descendant of a plantation called Angola whose owner leased convicts from the state to till his land; […]
One country.
06-Apr-09Just back from five days in Wyoming. It was completely shocking. It snowed the whole time (the old Wyoming joke is “If summer falls on a weekend this year, we’ll go to the park and have a picnic”). I was building snowmen just a few days after hanging out with alligators and sleeping with the […]

He called them that because you can be certain that the worse they are, the more honored they had been by an intellectual elite completely out of touch with humanity […]
Dead-blogging Mardi Gras.
26-Feb-09Mardi Gras is one of those phenomena which, if live-blogged, are probably not being experienced properly. I couldn’t even catch up today, on Ash Wednesday – I’ve still two days of narration to go. I’ll try to make sure to finish it up tomorrow. But now I’m ready to collapse – still exhausted after a […]
The power of the sanctified dead.
20-Feb-09I had three good writing days in a row, but the city snared me again today. I served as chauffeur as my roommate, who is a bit hard up now, ran some of his errands – getting a W-2 from a former employer, then a trip to H&R Block to get his tax refund as […]
