Mississippi - We are here...

Been a long time since anyone of us has posted; however, we are still alive. We now reside in Mississippi. So long Little Rock - we left you in such a blur. Things are well. I am working, Susan is working, cats are adjusted, etc...
One small complaint = the food here ain't as good as LR, well not just yet.
Possibly more posts to come...

Clinton Library

Clinton Library and Big Rig

We have not been here as of yet. Seeing as we are leaving, we should probably make a visit. I just feel funny about having to pay to get into a library. I know it is not that type of library, but it rather is as well. Anyway, I took this shot from the parking deck I use while I am at work.
There are not that many places with Presidential Libraries, so I think we will go and see what it is all about.

We are moving...

Greetings All!

I finally get to mention that big news I mentioned in a previous post. Susan and I are moving to Mississippi as soon as May 2007, so in a few months. I get to mention it now because I have officially submitted my letter of resignation to CALS. As of May 04, 2007, I am no longer an employee at CALS.

Anyway, as to why we are moving, I have but to say that it worked out to be the best for the both of us. Susan is going to be working on her Ph. D. at USM and I have been granted a branch manager's position at a library close to where we will be moving. I will try not to act like the manager in the photo above. Susan also received some type of Doctoral Fellowship/Grant thing that was actually quite competitive. I believe out of the whole school, only two Ph. D. students were able to receive it and she got it.

Further, we are going to try to buy a house. I will be making more money and Susan should be making more as well. We will not be making that much more, but houses are a little cheaper in Mississippi. Anyway, we will be in Mississippi much longer than we were in Arkansas, so a house just makes more sense. Plus, we want to own something and have a large amount of debt hanging over us.

That is all for now. Susan may update this blog with better details on her new work, but then again, she may not. She now has her own personal blog at VOX, so you can check her out there now as well.

Good Day!

So much to say...

Well, howdy! I, we, have so much to say, but I can't quite say it here because of who may be reading - rest assured that you aren't that person, probably. There are just a lot of things going on right now. April and May will be incredibly busy, fun, exciting, horrible, scary, busy months for both Susan and me. We also just got back from Greensburg and found out that Susan's brother will not be getting his electric company job back - long, long story. This discovery made for an interesting trip to the 'Burg. He needs to get a job - know of any openings?
More will come, I promise, when I can talk about it without reservation. Until then, good day dear reader(s).

Sometimes, some things make me miss home - sometimes. This is not really a Mardi Gras picture, but it is a picture that represents South Louisiana. It was taken, I assume, by my cousin. Anyway, I hope you have a great Fat Tuesday.
Good Day!

Well, it sorta looks like me. However, I can't wear sandals to work - lucky friggin m and m me. I do work in an office more or less like the one in the picture; at least, I have a cubicle.
If you want to become an M & M go to Become an M&M.
Good Day!

Another Flickr Upload

Cheetoh Loves the Deer

For those of you out there that read this - hopefully besides Susan and me - I have just uploaded another large batch of photos to our Flickr page. These pictures are primarily from a San Angelo, TX trip we took way back in 2003 when Susan was still looking for a grad school.
Oh, and meet Cheetoh. She accompanied us on that fateful trip. We even spotted a large bo weevil along with little green men dancing on the dashboard!
Good Day!
