I also blog at:
A thirty something tomboy gets a present from the stork: ...."We've also discovered that she will bring whatever is in her hands to her mouth. ...Mostly there's nothing in arm's reach to swallow, except mom's hair, which has been falling out in droves (another neat pregnancy trick). Do babies get hairballs?"....

US Commander Urges Lowered Expectations in Iraq.
Lowered?? How low can you go?
The majority of Americans want out of Iraq completely. To the Bush Administration, that's probably about as low as you can get. Conversely, if our
The incomplete news at 7
Tuesday, 30 January 2007 6:55 A GMT-05
There are some news stories that have been going around which simply don't add up. No one seems to want to elaborate on them either, which is driving me up the wall. I hate it when crucial parts of a story remain unanswered, and I think i

Behind every man

The other day, while chatting about nonsensical lunchtime things, a co-worker glibly made a remark about the "next president after Hillary."
I was a little taken aback at this over-confident annointment of presidential power, but I laugh
You asked for it...

It went down to -9 degrees last night.
We still only have an inch or so sparsely covering the ground, but the world has gotten frigid. There are good points to it; for instance the dog will no longer wander away when we let him out, but just
State of the Union

After greeting the first woman speaker of the house and making a point of her gender like it was his idea to put her there in the first place (although he is certainly responsible for Nancy Pelosi's historic rise--he single handedly lost the midterm
Snow
Tuesday, 23 January 2007 6:55 A GMT-05
We both drove through actual snow to get home last night, and it was still falling silently when we went to bed. It didn't accumulate much, maybe two inches. But that's more than we've had in ages, especially snow which didn't freeze to a
State of the Decider
Monday, 22 January 2007 6:54 A GMT-05
As a general rule, I don't listen to Bush's speeches. I never could stand his voice, so I wait for the transcripts to come out and then I read those, hoping above hope that this time there will be some sense in them. So far, no dice.

It's getting harder and harder to separate my pregnant woman experiences from my every day experiences, even though for the most part I have been able to divorce myself from them for the purposes of this blog. It's getting harder not because my
The Bush begins to burn
Thursday, 18 January 2007 6:52 A GMT-05
Bush's home state sees bizarre weather due to that global climate change exacerbated El Nino, and all of a sudden he's thinking of changing his tune. Perhaps he's one of those Texans who's stubborness only extends to what he observes with his o

When Castro dies, is the government going to prop his cooling body up in a chair and pretend to the rest of the world that he is firmly in control of his country?
Recently, reports have come out claiming Castro is, gasp, "gravely ill."&n

We have a TARM wood boiler and a 900 gallon heat storage tank down in our basement, and this services all of our hot water and most of our heat, excepting those occasions when it get so cold the wood runs out in the middle of the night or we go on va

My Christmas tree is still up.
We did take down our outdoor display of red christmas lights over the weekend, but I couldn't bear to part with the tree inside yet. Not so much because of sentimental attachment to the Christmas season, more s

Yesterday a horrid smell seeped through the small island city of Manhattan, heightening the underlying fear of attack which has been on every New Yorker's mind since the big one. Apparently the city isn't a stranger to city wide smells; in Octo
Blame on El Nino
Monday, 8 January 2007 6:54 A GMT-05
It was 70 degrees, and eerily sunny, at our house on Saturday.
The phenomenon of El Nino complicates the Global Climate Change debate, as it excacerbates the weather pattern trends and causes havoc every year we have it. Some news media outl

I suppose, since we've solved other major maladies of the human condition, albeit not very well, such as depression and attention deficit disorder, and we're working on making everyone aware that obesity is a disease, and so alcoholism, I suppose the
Ringing in a Brand New Year
Tuesday, 2 January 2007 6:45 A GMT-05
Our traditional New Year's Eve celebration usually involves a luxuriously expensive bottle of champagne, finger food, and a long evening at home. But since our alcoholic experience has been severely curtailed, we had to find some other way of c
