Possumblog

Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

UPDATE re: William Henry Sheppard
Axis of Weevil Plenipotentiary of ISBNs and Shushing Mac Thomason notes that Sheppard will be first in line when the Ministry of Morale begins accepting nominations for the next award for Southern culture, which will honor those of our number who have shuffled off this mortal coil. (As mentioned at some indeterminate time in the past, this high honor will be known as the Haintie.) Mac writes: "I was thinking of nominating (Stillman College's own!) Sheppard for a Haintie. Seeing how I work at the William H. Sheppard Library, and did a display on Sheppard -- actually two." Mac also recommends another book which came out recently on Sheppard which Robert Heath, the Dean of the Library, helped research. Mac didn't give the title, but I assume it's William Sheppard Congo's African American Livingstone by William Phipps. (Correct me if I've gotten that wrong).
