		<description><![CDATA[<a href="http://blogbyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/04-1254-copy.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1668" title="I think I can" src="http://blogbyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/04-1254-copy.jpg" alt="I think I can" width="313" height="400" /></a>
Grant finally went and took the plunge. Over at <a href="http://www.newtricks.me">New Tricks</a> we have been helping Grant with a blog website design for his <a href="http://www.granthenry.us">Grant Henry AKa Sister Louisa</a> website the past several months. The problem is that we have been doing it in drips and drabs, which I don't recommend. Much easier to get it all done in a week or so so you don't forget where you were in the process. Anyway, I am very happy that this artist, philosopher, bartender and friend finally started posting. I know he hasn't even gotten warmed up yet. He called his debut a "flabby" opening, so when he really rolls it out it will be something to behold.  Grant's post that he originally posted in Hollis Gillespie's Creative Loafing column about <a href="http://www.sisterlouisa.com/images/ScareOfTheSoul.pdf">why he is the happiest man alive</a> is very moving. You have to read it since it shows the other side of the "Out There" Grant. 

When I was blogging here a lot, before New Tricks started sapping all my blogging energy, Grant's comments on my blog were the best thing going. I really looked forward to his whacked out view of things being that he is one of the funniest people I know and respect.  Once I wrote a <a href="http://blogbyknight.com/2008/08/04/eileen-gets-gussied-up/">post about a lifesize artists model</a> that my sister's husband John named Eileen - because she did. Within an hour Grant sent me a full portfolio of  photos of a male life size artist model, <a href="http://blogbyknight.com/2008/08/03/meet-lucious-lamar/">Lucious Lamar</a>, in lewd poses. It was and is  hilarious.

One of Grant's many and main claims to fame is his Sister Louisa art. He collects religious paint by numbers and then paints his wisdom and creative insanity on them. As a former Catholic school girl, I really get this. Check it out and check out his blog.   Yea, Grant, you have "Catapulted yourself into Greatness" !]]></description>

Sometimes something comes along that truly makes one's life easier. I know there are always new technologies coming down the pike but how many times do you get something and you can barely understand how to use a tenth of it? So now I am here to share with you what might be one of your most used devices of the year. <a href="http://www.eye.fi/">Introducing Eye-Fi</a>. This is a little orange 4 gig memory card that goes into your camera to replace your old one and then it is magic. You go stand within ten feet of your computer and depending on which level you get it will 1)  upload all of the photos on it to your computer, or 2) your computer and a website (like Flickr) or 3) your photos <em>and movies</em> to your computer and a website. Now how is that for a dream answered?

I have been telling our City Councilman, Kwanza Hall that he needs to stop taking pictures with his Blackberry because they are all blurry. Kwanza is active on Facebook and Twitter and is all over Atlanta. He posts lots of fuzzy photos that cause you to squint and wonder if you are going blind. I asked him about it and he said that he can't use his little camera because the memory card is always full. He explained that being on the run he forgets to go through the tedious process to unload his photos. Now I have just solved his problem. All of Atlanta will be thanking me for getting him squared away with this little piece of new technology. Chalk this one up to a <a href="http://www.newtricks.me">New Trick </a>that is going to make us all really happy.

You use to be involved with your kids and their friends and their friend's parents, or you moved away or you've changed jobs or you have gone freelance...most likely you have lost touch with people that you enjoyed in your life.

Is this a side effect of global warming? There are huge puff balls of hair floating around the house two hours after vacuuming. At least only one of the three Bassets is such a fur burger.

This afternoon in preparation for the holidays, I decided to get out the Furminator. I was wearing black fleece pants and a fleece vest and I have to say that was not the best furminating outfit. Like the picture portrays,  I filled up an entire garbage bag with dog hair but I had been sitting on the ground so when I got up I was covered in hair. Not just a little hair but more like a heavy layer of fur all over my clothes. Duane had to vacuum me off before I could put my clothes in the washer. I have vacuumed the dog before but I have yet to put him in the washer.]]></description>

Before - Very Dusty

Mid- Way Through - Not Dusty, but a big old mess

For the past couple of months, I have noticed the dust accumulation on my office shelves. Every so often I would kind of swipe the exposed parts with a feather duster,  but I knew it was a half measure and that massive dust deposits were lurking behind every photograph and object d'art. I was just too darn busy to deal with it.

But this past weekend, (not that I wasn't busy, in fact I was very busy) I could stand it no longer and decided I would just get out the Endust. Well, one thing led to another and now in addition to dusting the shelves I find myself going through boxes of photographs, kids art work ( they are now 20 and 22) and trying to find a container big enough for my]]></description>

Now that the election is over I still find myself tuning in to MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olberrman" at 9:00 and "The Rachel Maddow Show" at 10:00. It's not that there isn't any news these days post-election, but it was just so damned exciting before. What crazy ass thing was McCain going to do next? What are the polls saying? What was Sarah up to?

Back in the golden days of yesteryear ( actually about two years ago), I loved to listen to Rachell Maddow on Air America. She was smart and funny and slightly sarcastic but did I mention that she was really smart? It turns out that she has a PhD in Political Science from Oxford University where she was a Rhodes Scholar. But then Air America was taken out of the Atlanta Market and we progressive Democrats were back in the wilderness in regards to good daily news with a good dose of fact checking regarding the shenanigans that were going down in Washington with the Bush and Cheney crew. ]]></description>

You bet it does. I was reading an old copy of Wired Magazine (May 2008) and ran across an interesting statistic, 17% of on-line daters have met their matches and actually gotten into marriages or long-term relationships. They point out that it is the same number of people (3 million!) that have met and married through church. So I guess that means you may double your chances to meet your mate if you go on-line and attend church but I think on-line dating is the greatest way to meet people if you are looking for a relationship.

Duane and I met through Match.com. In fact we had a dinner party and three of the four couples there had met on-line. I remember one Christmas helping one of my sisters fill out her profile and my mother was giving us a hard time about it. But hey she met a really nice guy and they have now been married about 5 years.]]></description>

My kids were lifers at Paideia School, from 3- 17 years old.  I knew before I even had them that they would go to school there. <em>I </em> wanted to go to school there. That is how it was with all of us Paideia parents. We recognized it when we saw it. Paideia was a special place, capable of amazing things, only one of which was an education. As a clinical psychologist, who as a child had moved around from school to horrible catholic school, I craved for myself and my kids a stable living situation. And I wanted them to go to a school that encouraged a love for learning and created well balanced well educated children who where encouraged and not punished for thinking for themselves.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Great article by <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-seitzman/sarah-palin-naked_b_125861.html">Michael Seitzman</a> in the Huffington Post called <em>Sarah Palin Naked</em>. It basically sums up how I feel about her. Palin's recent interviews were atrocious in that they showed her to be a glib, bullshitter who does not have the education, world experience, or depth of understanding and experience of and with people to be the Commander in Chief of our diverse nation on the global stage. 

I recently called one of my Republican friends who I use to have great heated political discussions  before he moved out of state,  to get his views on Palin. Now this guy, is very bright, has six hundred people working for him in the finance industry, and when I asked him about his views on Palin, his first words were, 

<blockquote>She's smokin hot!</blockquote>
