Tulane University

Image
 This is at the southernmost tip of the Tulane campus, near Audubon Park. Administration offices and such. Several of the buildings have a really cool old feeling to them. School crest. I'm getting it tattooed on my lower back real soon.  Campus has a really nice wooded feel. It's nice to have some shade walking to class.  The famous streetcar has a stop right at the top of campus. That's Audubon Park on the other side. There's a zoo in there! We are gonna go check it out soon I think.  This is more toward the northern part of campus (it's a huge campus by the way, about as big as UO), where most of the athletic facilities are located.  Another nice shady spot. That building in the background is the main "quad". Pretty cool open field right in the middle of campus. I haven't yet figured out what that building is way out there in the far background.  Some kind of ceremonial bell. Not sure when they ring it. On...

A Tiny Light at the End of a Long, Exhausting Tunnel

Ha! I just looked back at a draft of a blog post that I had saved, but never published, entitled "6 Month Observations." All I had on the page was: "Serious question. How the hell  are second children ever born?" Apparently I had some strong feelings at the time; and those feelings were that only a goddamned FOOL would ever put himself and his family through this child-raising experience more than once. It has been more than two months since I started and never finished that post, and just today Adair and I were doing some light brainstorming about when (not if) we might start trying for Baby Row #2. So, I guess, things have gotten better. It feels weird to type that, since it's still day-to-day just a dreadfully exhausting endeavor. But with the clarity of being able to look back two months (a full 25% of my daughter's life!) I can say that things are already so much more fun. Baby is sleeping more, eating more, engaging with us more; and a lit...

Recycling and Other Southern Myths

Rage. That's what I feel...because I left my damned Cheetos at the checkout stand. Lets start at the beginning. As we may have mentioned before, recycling basically doesn't exist in New Orleans. I know this city/state has some bigger problems, but for whatever reason any hint of sustainability has never been made a priority around here. Adair told me that at her school they do teach the kids to sort out the recyclables, but it's all a ruse, as the teachers just toss it all in the trash at the end of the day. I'm not sure that the thought really counts on this issue, but oh well. I'm not trying to push my granola Oregonian agenda on anyone, but I feel like most of us can agree that recycling is generally a good thing; especially in a city that finds itself with such a wealth of glass bottles week after week. So, fine. No recycling, I can live with that. Putting a juice container in the trash once in a while won't kill me, no matter how strange it feels. Howev...
