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?"....

It took courage but finally somebody said it: global warming will be bad for the economy. Of course the side that said it has more to lose, since if the Gulf Stream shifts or stops as expected, Britain will become an ice cube. Of course t
Bluster and roofing
Monday, 30 October 2006 6:42 A GMT-05
Friday we came home to find the roofers still working, well into the darkening evening, frantically trying to get the half-done roof ready for the Big Storm which was headed our way. It figured that there would be a big storm before the ro

Well.
We've got ourselves another Friday, and here's the retrospective of the week.
Roofers: Although at least one of the people assigned to put this expensive covering over our heads appeared to be stoned the last time we talked to hi
Tin Roof a-coming
Wednesday, 25 October 2006 5:38 A GMT-05
The roofers have come.
And when I say they have come, I mean they have come as an army, setting up huge scaffolding in front of the building which spans right across our bedroom window, with spare equipment sitting in our driveway, and of course the
The Final Gasps

Amidst growing evidence that his party is in trouble, Dennis Hastert predicted that the Republicans will keep the House in November. And we all believe everything that comes out of Hastert's mouth. Maybe they will, despite a majority outc
Wood Be Yankees
Monday, 23 October 2006 5:47 A GMT-05
This is the price and the pride of heating entirely with wood.
Threatened by the possibility of snow, we began to move our hard earned stash, which has been drying outside all summer, down into our basement, where it will get stacked an
Friday, Thank God It's
Friday, 20 October 2006 5:59 A GMT-05
Somehow we've stumbled all the way into Friday. Cool! And to think I've spent the last few days worrying that I hadn't done the laundry and therefore didn't have enough "work clothes" to last me through the week. Why I hav
Building a Better Mousetrap

It's that time of year again where the mice move in to the house in droves, I try to catch them and in the end they elude me. Lionel had high hopes that the reconstruction of the kitchen would slow the little buggers down some, but there's no e
Failure to Communicate
Wednesday, 18 October 2006 6:05 A GMT-05
Recently the United Kingdom has joined the ranks of the paranoid and racist by making trouble for women who wear a veil. Just to fuel the controversy, Tony Blair showed his misunderstanding of this religious symbol by calling it a "mark of

Snoozing at the table
Monday, 16 October 2006 5:21 P GMT-05
I was dreaming about chocolate bunnies, cotton candy, and a soft morning sunlight. It was peaceful and happiness all around. Then I woke up fully and realized the sun should not be shining in my window. To be more accurate; it had e
Deer in the dark
Friday, 13 October 2006 5:58 A GMT-05
There's deer in the yard.
I don't know why, but they've suddenly moved in. I watched two deer grazing in the field yesterday evening. They were apparently unconcerned that I was watching. Later the dog and I went out to get

A plane crashes into a building in New York and everyone thinks: 9/11.
That's the great thing about terrorism; if you manage to pull off one horrific show, you don't have to do much else. The imaginations of your victims will do the rest for y
Brier Island, Nova Scotia
Wednesday, 11 October 2006 5:51 A GMT-05
I had the rare Columbus Day off and so my mother and I went off to Nova Scotia, to the very tip of it in fact, a place called Brier Island.
It's the very end of the tourist season in Nova Scotia, and by very end we mean; all shuts down. There

Last weekend Lionel and I went to the Deerfield Fair, and because it was a beautiful day (albeit a tad bit cold) we decided to take the motorcycle. To all those who might be observing us that day there were only two people on the bike, but actually t

The peak of this season is the first Tuesday in November. The leaves have fallen by that point, but the politicians haven't yet.
Scientist finds fire is hot to the touch

I wish I had tons of money so I could sponsor a study like this one. Only mine would be more obvious, like say, studying whether people really need to drink water and breath air to stay alive, or that eating healthy food is better for you than

In case you're wondering what the big deal is about Senator Mark Foley's monumentally stupid indiscretion involving underage boys, here is the entire transcript of one of his little chat sessions.
