Peripatetic CircumambulantThe life and times of meMoon- July 22, 2008 Today is the 39th anniversary, and this page linked from reddit is classic. This version of the same thing is even better. I linked it long ago. I hope I get to see people walk on the moon again.http://morgan.saint-louis.mo.us/blog/?p=852 Mongol- July 20, 2008 After mentioning the movie Mongol, I decided to see it last night at the Landmark Tivoli. It is a Russian movie about Mongols, presumably in a Mongolian language, that was subtitled in English, and the star is Japanese.

He, too, is a Mississippian ...http://morgan.saint-louis.mo.us/blog/?p=833 Take our fortune- July 17, 2008 For the 4th, I took a Mississippi journey. Coincidentally, I arrived in Oxford on the day The New York Times published &8220;A College Town Where the Streets Are Paved in Magnolia,&8221; which Barlow linked. I dropped off my belongings and headed to the North Mississippi Hill Country Picnic. As is common with Mississippi trips, I ...http://morgan.saint-louis.mo.us/blog/?p=830 Grayson Capps- July 12, 2008 I went to the Grayson Capps show at BB&8217;s. He is from south Alabama and settled in New Orleans. Having ties to both places, I wanted to find out what he did. I enjoyed what I heard. Unfortunately, it was a weeknight show that started at 9 PM, later than I can handle. I am ...http://morgan.saint-louis.mo.us/blog/?p=829 |
