Back to Blogging But Just Barely

I've been neglecting the poor blog most of this week, a shameful thing to do at any time, but especially nasty to do the week after Labor Day. After all the work the blog puts in, I ignore it. Such is life.

Let's see, nothing of particular import has been occuring this week, except for a stubborn would-be cold that won't go away and has not had the decency to transmogrify into a full-blown cold that would require bed rest. I've been sneezy, coughing, have had a sore throat (thanks to sinus drip), and have been dog-tired and ready for naps all week. I've even bed early-to-bed, thanks to this would-be beast. I think it may be getting better, though, so I can go about my business.

This morning, as I was wandering about the Internet Tubes, I came across some interesting music by a guy named Manu Chao, a French Spaniard with Arabic and South/Central American influences, though he sometimes sings in English. Here's a link to a music video I found intriguing, a song entitled Desaparecido. After encountering this, I discovered that he has just released a new album called La Radiolina, which you can learn about at his MySpace page. His music has just been (or maybe currently is?) featured on All Songs Considered on NPR's website.

What else....? Not much else that warrants my time writing, nor your time reading, so I'll post a photo I took when my wife and I visited an arboretum in El Dorado, Arkansas last weekend. I like the photo...one of the few I've taken lately that I find pleasing. It makes me feel the coolness of the morning air, despite the fact that it was as hot as hell the morning I took the picture.
