It's all comin' up Split-Hoof. Special mention to @insanityspew as well.
J-school Journo Jobsearch
Notice I could not think of a title? My creative weakness from time to time is writing my own display copy. Seriously. I am good with other people's, but some days mine is just not there.

Kid Quote – Howfee Food
This is an old quote, as all of these Kid Quotes I am going to post are since I do not get to see my family often enough. Some will be relayed to me via telephone, email, facebook or are part of the lexicon that surrounds me like the always perfect "Why is she spillin' [...]

Site Update, new gallery and Agora Bookstore
During an interview today, I realized that so few images were posted on my portfolio page. Making a gallery is not hard, and I found a plugin that will pull existing images from my blog posts. The new Gallery is now on the menu! I am certain that I will be splitting this in two [...]

Beechwood – cooling off in the shade
When I was young, my mother had been entrusted with tending a small family grave. It had about six headstones. She would take my sister and I to clear brush, plant flowers and regular duties. Once in a while we would have a little picnic if I recall. It was outside Ms. Rivers' house on [...]
