Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Blogging Katrina & An Anniversary

By Abby at 5:09 pm on Saturday, June 24, 2006

As you may recall, my parents recently celebrated 40 years of marriage. Instead of having a big party or taking a luxury vacation, as some people do, they decided to follow the path of their honeymoon, which essentially meant following the path of Katrina.

My father and mother make a great blogging team. Dad is a wonderful writer with a thoughtful mind. Mom, like me, is a shutterbug. Now that they are retired and traveling more than ever, we all benefit from the trips they take.

Dad’s writings about the trip are so worth reading. I particularly enjoyed his explanation for why Katrina’s effect on New Orleans in particular is a true Aristotilean tragedy (damn, my dad’s smart!). Go read it, will you?

Blogs always have the latest writing first, so start at the last post on the second page of the June archives and read them in reverse order. Then click over to the previous page, and again read bottom up. Sounds more complicated than it is!

The Web Is A Small World After All

By Abby at 4:07 pm on Friday, June 23, 2006
So I’m IMing with a friend about online "fame", just kind of joking around, and this inspires me to look myself up on Technorati, and I found this, which is incredible to me! It’s a piece on Gridskipper, a pretty well-known travel site which I have subbed to off and on, linking both to my question on Ask Metafilter about Friday night karaoke in Seattle, AND using a picture I took that very night at the most recommended karaoke bar in Seattle. Nutty! It’s that whole beautiful media-related, good deedy, connectedness kind of groove I live for!

Some performances from that night:

Blink of an Eye

By Abby at 11:10 am on Friday, June 23, 2006

Flickr is having a contest called Blink of an Eye. They will pick five winners. Each person can only submit one photograph. I know I don’t have much of a shot, but I enjoyed choosing my entry (below), and I’m loving seeing other people’s entries. So much beauty!

Bride & Umbrella 2

This photograph was taken at the Memphis Zoo in the panda house. We’d just raced through a torrential summer afternoon downpour to get there. Once inside, I saw this bride posing for her wedding portraits. This scene was just sitting there, waiting for me. Yes, I got her email and mailed her the pictures, and she thanked me.
