Election 2012
I started writing this on Nov. 10, 2012, shortly after the presidential election. I saved it as a draft and meant to finish it later. Well it’s later…. two and a half months later. I added a sentence at the end, but everything else was from November. — I’m combining a lot of thoughts regarding [...]
On Romney, Obama, and the 47%
Anyone who knows me pretty well knows that I won’t be voting for the Republicratic candidate Obamney. However, if one is going to criticize them, at least be honest about it. This week’s big story is that that Romney was secretly recorded saying 47% of Americans don’t pay taxes, believe in handouts, and will vote [...]
Hurricane Isaac
I hoped I would never have to add a new post to the hurricane category but unfortunately that’s the case. Hurricane Isaac hit last week on the 7th anniversary of Katrina. On the good side I have minimal damage to my property. A tree we were planning to cut down feel on a fence we [...]
Who Dat
So I didn’t get three days in a row. But three posts in four days still ain’t bad. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell issued the penalties for the Saints Bounty program. Former Defensive Coordinator Greg Williams (now with the Rams) is suspended indefinitely. As the main guy behind this, he may deserve this. I think one [...]
Life
Maybe I’ll start blogging again on a regular basis. Probably not. This weekend is the Louisiana Crawfish Festival which is taking place in Chalmette, LA. It runs from Thursday through Sunday. I run the festival’s website. My Knights of Columbus council will also be running a booth selling Crawfish Creole. So if you get a chance [...]
Generate Address Labels in PHP
For a while I was trying to find a PHP script for generating Avery 8160 / 5160 address labels. I found a few scripts that came close, but none did exactly what I needed. I found a script called DOMPDF which generated PDF’s from HTML pages. After a lot of fiddling with measurements, I got [...]
2011 so far
Following up in the last post…. Sarah was born on Dec. 26 at 4:19pm. We said we did not want to spend Christmas Day in the hospital. God accommodated. Robin started experiencing back pain that morning. She called the doctor and they told her to come in so we did. They said it was a contraction [...]
2010…
I hardly post here anymore. Robin is 8 months pregnant. Due date is Jan. 2 but the doctors are planning to deliver early, most likely between Christmas and New Years which would be Dec. 27. Not much else going on.
I wonder if anyone reads this…
Yeah, I rarely post here. Robin and I did buy a house in Meraux, across the street from my parents. So except for 3 years after Katrina, I have lived on the same street my entire life. We adopted a kitten a few weeks ago. We named her Sweetie. Robin was pregnant but lost the [...]
Update
I updated the blog that I haven’t posted on in over a year. Robin and I are buying a house in St. Bernard. Not much else going on that is worth the effort of mentioning.
