It hasn't all been work!

Don't let Mike fool you. He has been working a lot, but we do go out every chance we get. This weekend we had the privilege to see a John James Audubon mammal print exhibit (for free!) at the Historic Arkansas Museum, located not too far from where Mike works. It was awesome! A must see for anyone who likes wildlife art.

We also saw "Little Miss Sunshine," which was probably one of the best movies we've seen this year. I'll never think about the song "Super Freak" the same way (which is probably a good thing). Not too long ago, I even sucked it up and managed to sit through "The Descent," a really good, although scary as hell, movie. Which could be why I have had nightmares for the past couple of weeks...

Anyway, we are going to LA for a few days, if I can ever get anybody to watch all of the animals I'm responsible for. We'll just have to see how it all works out.

Work, Work, Work, Break

Well, it's not been very long since my last entry, but things have basically been work, work, and more work. My Pulaski Tech night class has just started and things are going okay so far, with that anyway. I am looking at working till 9 or 8 for the next few nights, should be fun! I am in desperate need of a vacation as I am losing my patience with people all too easily these days.
Anyway, we are heading back to Lafayette and Greensburg come this Thursday (August 31, 2006) night. We are going to see who we can see and eat what we can eat. It's been a good long while since we have been back to Lafayette at least - Greensburg, not so long. This may or may not count as much of a vacation as it will be a lot of driving.
All that aside, I have to get back to that FrontPage class, so I will post more later.

Break? When will it happen?

Too busy to post!

Yep, that's right. I've been too busy to post anything new as of late. Been busy trying to accomplish trivial things, such as, um..i dunno, GRADUATING! I've been busy putting the gophers through the paces the past month trying to find out more about how these buggers interact with the world around them. Things are going well in that regard and I could easily extend this project into a dissertation, but I'm not really looking to stay at UALR for 4 more years.

I found out yesterday that I will have to teach a zoology lab this upcoming semester, so I'll need to refresh my taxonomic terms soon. I'm also searching for another undergrad to assist me with maintaining my gopher colony; my buddy Nick is trying to graduate some time this decade as well and is taking a huge class load this semester. We'll see how it all works out.

As far as the cats, I wish they could each update this blog. Clyde and Kit had a check-up with the vet in June and are doing fine. Ash, our snaggle-toothed wonder, went for his annual check-up two weeks ago. Even though he was heavily sedated, we still managed to walk out with a bleeding vet and only half of the exam completed. That's a bummer, considering he's got tooth and gum issues. But, what can we say? Our cat's the man!

Aside from work, school, the occasional sinus infection, and soon needing a new washing machine, things are going good. We might be traveling home for a few days on Labor Day, so we'll keep you posted.

Updates - Michael

Well hello! It appears as if neither one of us has updated this blog in quite some time, but that is most likely because not much has happened. I do wonder whether anyone actually reads this blog. If you do, please let us know by commenting on a post or two.

Anyway, I have been working on several computer classes that I will be introducing into my lineup come this Fall and Spring. The most important of which is FrontPage 2003 - making a web page. So far, designing this class has proved quite tiresome and tedious, but I think I am now on a roll and will be done in a few days. I don't think this class will go over so great with those I teach, but some of the higher ups want it, and I need the refresher. I will let you, my few beloved readers, know how it goes once I am finished and have implemented it.

Aside from that, Susan has been quite busy at school with her gophers, but she will have to post more to let you know about that - pester her to post if you will.

Also, before I go, I am thinking about some weight loss - maybe cutting off an arm. It would be nice to drop 20 or so lbs. before the New Year. We will see if it happens.

That is all for now; however, for your information, this was typed and posted with Writely !!
