The dark mutterings of a former mild-mannered reporter for a large metropolitan daily newspaper, now living in obscurity in central Indiana.

Saturday stuff
This is my Saturday to work 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., so I went straight to the ASU campus to photograph a peewee dance clinic for girls in k-6th grade conducted by the Arkansas State A-Team cheerleaders.
In the photo above, A-Team member Marleah Hannaford, Mountain Home, teaches a routine to the kindergarten group. The session ran from 8 a.m. to noon and by the time I was shooting these photos between 9 and 10, some of the kids were showing signs of overload and a need for a break, as evidenced in the photo to the right.I arrived at the office in time to hear a heated discussion between a reporter from New Zealand and the business writer over the relative probability of the existance of Thor and/or Jesus. Huh?
Pretty freaking bizarre, but you have to expect that kind of thing in a newspaper city room.
This all happened against a background of disappointment, since our long-awaited second carpet install turned out to be as defective as the first. And on top of it, the installer beat the shit out of our painted wall and woodwork.
Maria got on the phone to Lowe's last night and raised some serious hell. So far, we have been promised an ASAP re-do with a better grade of carpet, which Maria will select this afternoon.
The fun just never stops.
