A Different Kind of Spring Cleaning

Blog posting has been pretty scant from me recently, so there's nothing like a lazy Saturday on a three-day weekend to get all caught up. As always, so that my work won't go for naught, here is a list of posts I've completed today:

• When Firewheel opened in '05, some people lamented that New Urbanism would be the death of downtown Garland. But another such project may well revive it.


• As expected, my household status did not change between the time last month when I filled it out and April 1, the day it was supposed to reflect.


• My thoughts on the controversial Erykah Badu video.


• Dallas/Ft. Worth finally rises above 80 degrees for the first time since last October.


• I had a lot of fun last weekend performing with Tom "Bones" Malone at the college jazz festival last weekend.


• My thoughts on the upcoming end of 24.


• I also weigh in on Keith Jarrett's latest anti-audience outburst.


• The NFL's new overtime rules for playoff games--good idea/bad idea?


• Count me as one teacher who's opposed to the idea of a four-day school week.


• One more New Urbanism development has joined us this spring; this one's in Fairview.

With any luck, I'll have regular posts up again now that things have calmed down.

And if I'm still behind in posting next week, I have a new excuse: After literally years of people bugging me to do so, I finally joined Facebook last night. Feel free to friend me if we have that status in real life or fan me otherwise. (And if either of the above makes for too much Kev in your online life, you can always stick with the old stalwarts known as MySpace and Twitter and this very blog...)
