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?"....

A recent poll claims that political party affiliation informs one's views on climate change . Personally I think they've got it backwards: more likely one's views informs one's choice of political party, not the other way around

Rudy Giuliani went ahead and said the Democratic frontrunners will eventually think like him when it comes to Iraq, leaving this voter to wonder, if that were actually the case, why one would need to vote for Rudy instead? I'm sure he'

Saturday was cold,windy, raw and rainy so naturally we spent the day outside spreading manure and splitting wood. Sunday was sunny, windy and bitterly cold. That night promised lows down into the 20s, so we had to brave the day to get the last of the

Doing his Presidential duty, Bush flew to California to tour the rubble and to stage photo-ops of him with ordinary folks who just happen to have lost their homes. Immediately upon landing he was accosted by reporters, whose very first question

It's United Way week at work. For the same reason I turn the channel whenever NPR affiliate channels star their pledge drives, I immediately shut down when UW comes in the door. It's not that I'm againt NPR-- I love it-- or ag

Yesterday morning as I left the gray sky in the west made a stark contrast with the sugar maples, which had all finally turned a brilliant shade of orange, and a clearing in the gray from the east allowed the sun to add a low morning light, the resul

Recently Bush vetoed a bill to reauthorize and expand SCHIP by 35 billion dollars. Among other things, he objected to the price tag. This was par for the course for our President and no one was too surprised, but now we know why he thoug

No, not this one .This one . We've often contributed to the Washington Mall, aka the Dump, officially known as the Recycling Center. Obviously we throw our trash away there, and our recyclables, and every once in awhile we plop down some cl

Yesterday at work I worked hard, fast and furious all day, but ask me what I did and I wouldn't be able to tell you. Which doesn't bode well for when I try to put my time down in 15 minute increments on our time sheets. Which idea

What with everything else going on we tend to lose sight of the really important things. But we really shouldn't. None of us are getting any younger, not even the Bundle o' Joy , who turned 1/2 a year old yesterday and celebrated by spi

It must really stick in Ann Coulter's gullet that she keeps getting passed over for meaningful awards, but brain-dead liberals like Al Gore just seems to rake them in . Actually I'm not sure that Ann Coulter has a gullet. Maybe f

Maybe it's because we measure the Bundle o' Joy's lifespan in months at the moment (6 months this Wednesday) but time seems to have picked up to a startlingly accelerated pace which makes these days fly by too quickly. On Saturday w

Even though Ed and Elaine Brown are finally where they should be (although admittedly I--and probably they-- find it ironic that instead of simply not paying any income taxes they are now costing us law abiding taxpayers money) I continue to sneak in

Sometimes doing things out of the ordinary leads you to places that you've never been to, and its neat when it coincides that the thing out of the ordinary is actually pretty normal and the place you have to go to do it is actually right by your
