Library Garden is looking for tips about blogging. I was staring at this numbly (I had insomnia last night which means today felt many weeks long) when I remembered, hey, once upon a time I wrote about ethics and blogging, so I may contribute that. Meanwhile, Life As I Know It did a round-up of […]
Alligator Originally uploaded by freerangelibrarian. Yes, that’s an alligator, and no, this isn’t Palo Alto. We’ve had a few mountain lions wander into PA, but no alligators… as far as I know. I’m back from my Mystery Trip (in which Mrs. Rev. Dr. Free Range Librarian was doing business–though not in this swamp). I am […]
Late this afternoon, after hanging up my coveralls and clocking out of MPOW, I turned in a pile of essays to my major project advisor for my MFA. On the way home I had visions of preparing an elaborate meal and watching a movie, giving myself one night off from the grind. But Sandy has […]
“But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also…” Matthew 5.34-44 Yeah, it’s a little late, I know, but sometimes there’s a reason for when things happen. This year, for Lent, I didn’t give up blogging, or ALA, or chocolate, or People Magazine, or dark beer. I did intend to give […]

I have handled a few work crises in my life, from taking over a military training unit that had failed an inspection and was in serious doldrums, to not one but several budget crises at My Place Of Work. I was going to list ten things not to do during a budget crisis, but then […]
Updated. Don’t miss the Flickr tagset for Michael! I didn’t have a serviceable picture of myself so I borrowed John Ashcroft. Congrats to Michael Stephens on his wonderful new job. I remember Michael talking about getting a PhD… then he was in school… then he was teaching… now he’s very close to being ABD, with […]
I’m not usually a stats monkey–I mean, you either read FRL or you don’t, and I admit to being pulled in many directions that compromise my inner blogger–but I got curious. Usage is up. I don’t know how this compares with other blogs, but up feels better than down. Req’s, Pages Nov-04 51377, 21990 Dec-04 […]
Both of us cried near the end. As Sandy said, the movie was more spiritually moving than several years’ worth of Good Friday services. I had expected my mind to wander; the movie couldn’t be as good as the books, I told myself, and of course it wasn’t–but it was still very, very good, very […]
