http://www.thenitenote.com/blog a memo from today to tomorrow Mon, 16 Jun 2008 22:40:44 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en ... I thought I saw the tree smiling back at me. http://www.thenitenote.com/blog/2008/06/16/sketching-in-the-garden-this-afternoon/ But in our actual our world, this page is just a sad/funny satire. I mean compare today's actual news.google page. [thx to the laughing squid] http://www.thenitenote.com/blog/2008/06/09/in-a-perfect-world-there-would-still-be-newsgoogle/ But sometimes paintings just happen. Ajax on the Kitchen Floor (24 X 48 inches). http://www.thenitenote.com/blog/2008/06/04/that-girl-is-so-behind-in-her-bloggin/ Faithful readers will already know that I'm a liberal. But just to make it clear, I am a liberal with a neon pink capital "L" that you can see from space. I am a civil-libertarian, an authority-suspecting, e-waste recycling, workers-rights-supporting, gun-controlling, universal healthnik, who thinks it's the government's job to ... http://www.thenitenote.com/blog/2008/05/31/a-pinko-goes-to-the-air-show-part-i/ With the air show, my micro-campaign for the new G.I. Bill, the discovery of the cooling-vest charity and Memorial Day, it's been a strangely military May at the normally not-so-military Cohen household. To learn how it came to be, you'll have to read the posts to come this weekend, but ... http://www.thenitenote.com/blog/2008/05/30/a-belated-memorial-day-barage/ Think you have a tough job? Join the military. Here is my new desktop, made from a photo of a jet engine at the March Reserve Air Force Base, Airfest 2088. The Airfest is a type-o-rama of warnings and designations. This one seemed like just what I needed during the ... http://www.thenitenote.com/blog/2008/05/17/kates-new-desktop/ The newly re-designed CaliforniaAuthors.com is up and running. I always say -- in terms of design and building -- there are no small websites, but this one really doesn't qualify as small; in fact, it's big, with its 70+ author essays and excerpts, its many pages of directory-style resources, ... http://www.thenitenote.com/blog/2008/05/13/californiaauthorscom-relaunched-at-last/ A day at the air show can leave you breathless, but too sun-drenched to blog -- so we'll have to let the picture do its thousand words. More on the March AFB Airfest 2008 to come -- once we catch our breath. http://www.thenitenote.com/blog/2008/05/03/thunderbirds/ http://www.thenitenote.com/blog/2008/04/29/dining-with-bloggers/ As part of our dinner conversation last night: off the beaten path spots for the M&M road trip. Tips from around the table: 1) Middendorf's in Pass Manchac, Louisiana. You'll never get a better fried seafood platter and its thin-filleted fried catfish -- made with the same recipe since 1934 ... http://www.thenitenote.com/blog/2008/04/27/off-the-beaten-path-for-mark-and-michelle/
