There is a chipmunk. Being a chipmunk he tends to move very quickly. The cat has, to my knowledge, never seen him. She is not the most attentive indoor hunter of things outdoors. She’s not the most attentive hunter of things indoors, but I digress. <\/p>\n

Anyway, the chipmunk took the time to sun himself today. I was able to get a shot from a fair way off. I have now documented the chipmunk:<\/p>\n

Aubie came to visit us at the game tonight. Aubie has a flashing problem:<\/p>\n

No one in the family has bothered to confront him yet. I think everyone is waiting for the right time. <\/p>\n

He also sat with us for awhile, until the children came calling. Aubie is a ladies man, but he’s all about the kids, too. And so, after a time, he was off to hug little girls and tousle the hair of the young guys. <\/p>\n

All of this during a baseball game that Auburn lost to Jacksonville State 6-1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Grading papers<\/strong>. One student wrote “This class has shaped how I view journalism and will be foundational in my future studies in this major.” <\/p>\n

That made my day. <\/p>\n

And then I graded on. And on and on. <\/p>\n

Still not done. <\/p>\n

Two new things on Tumblr, here<\/a> and here<\/a>. A lot, lot more on Twitter<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Also I converted that not-quite-good Toomer’s Corner thing I wrote last month into the Big Stories<\/a> format. You might have read it here or on TWER<\/a>, but it is a different way of seeing it. Sometimes that makes all the difference. I’m going to use that format for things every now and then. I expect there will be a few additions this summer. <\/p>\n

Which is on the way, by the way. Summer, I mean. We hit 79 today. We’ll be in the 80s tomorrow. <\/p>\n

Talking with my grandmother Sunday I told her that I knew she’d been frustrated by the spring, with the cold temperatures. She said it was the coldest spring she could remember. And she said she wouldn’t complain about the summer at all. When it gets here. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
