Twitterless High Schoolers

nobody@vox.com(Michael Rhodes) — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 14:19:35 -0700

I'm currently typing this blog from my living room with my laptop plugged in, the ceiling fan on, the a/c working, and the wireless internet working. I'm doing all of that while watching the Florida vs. Miami game. Yes, I HAVE POWER! My power wa...

Quick Gustav Update #3

nobody@vox.com(Michael Rhodes) — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 18:30:32 -0700

I still don't have power, but I talked to the power company today in the neighborhood, and they said we should have power by 12:00 PM tomorrow. I'm so grateful for friends in LSU dorms that let me use their internet. Thankfully, the temperature ...

Long-Awaited Gustav Update #2

nobody@vox.com(Michael Rhodes) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 14:11:39 -0700

This is the first time I've been on the internet since Gustav knocked out my power on Monday (9/1) at exactly 12:00 PM. I would love to say that I'm using my own internet, but I'm actually using my friend's internet at a dorm on LSU's campus. Go...

Gustav Update #1

nobody@vox.com(Michael Rhodes) — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 08:16:50 -0700

Gustav has made landfall, and Baton Rouge is beginning to feel its effects. I woke up at 9:00 AM to some gusty winds, small limbs and leaves on the lawn, and a lot of rain. The massive amounts of rain that will continue are the major scare for m...

I'm sure you're thinking, "Wow! Michael is alive and still realizes he has a blog?" Yes and yes. I actually have some time to write tonight for the first time in a long time. I thought I'd have time because of Labor Day, but plans have changed...

Since My Last Post...

Blogging has still not made it to the top of my priority list. I know it's been nearly a month since I last posted something, but there have just been more important things in my life that have taken priority. Here's some of those happenings: ...

Vick, Pacman and T.O.

nobody@vox.com(Michael Rhodes) — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 21:13:04 -0700

What do Michael Vick, Pacman Jones and Terrell Owens have in common? They are the role models of a 12 year old I met today. I was serving at a children's day camp with several of our students today for M*A*S*H week. At the end of the day, I had ...

MAS*H

"Pregnancy Pact" Makes Me Sick

nobody@vox.com(Michael Rhodes) — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 14:15:35 -0700
