The truth about Swamp Yankee Wannabes
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?"....

Three Steps Back
Friday, 29 December 2006 6:49 A GMT-05
I've been getting the feeling, for the last few years, that the feminist movement is losing ground. Larger numbers of women decide to stay at home with their children instead of working outside the home. Women's income fell instead of ros

The Passing of a President
Thursday, 28 December 2006 6:56 A GMT-05
Clearly the only reason this fact is suddenly news is because the 93 year old, never elected Gerald Ford has died after having the honor of being the longest living president, surpassing Ronald Reagan in November. Perhaps he wanted to be rememb
Instruct for Use This Devices
Wednesday, 27 December 2006 6:52 A GMT-05
I don't necessarily expect perfect English from my software vendors, but I do expect their English to be intelligible enough so that the instructions make sense. It was a bad sign when I first opened up the package of the wireless computer lock
Public Holiday Number One
Tuesday, 26 December 2006 6:38 A GMT-05
Twas the day after Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a... hey look! SNOW!!
We're still forecast for a high of 40 today, which is ridiculous for December, but there's white stuff on the ground.
The Times They Are
Friday, 22 December 2006 6:48 A GMT-05
It's frustrating to live in what has become the Seattle of the Northeast, especiallu when there is obviously plent of white stuff to be had elsewhere. That same storm is aching to come over my head, but is getting forced out by a persistent hig
Bush: Leader of the Minority
Thursday, 21 December 2006 6:52 A GMT-05
Despite a resounding defeat this past November, the Republican Moral Minority mindset is still unclear on some fairly fundamental aspects of the United States' principles and also incidentally the will of the people. Take for instance Bush (tak
Classics and the Stone Age
Wednesday, 20 December 2006 7:00 A GMT-05
Long before I arrived on the scene, when my company first got started, they had the brilliant idea that they should name the printers in the building so they could tell them apart from each other. This was a good idea, but the next idea was not
Christmas Jollies.
Tuesday, 19 December 2006 6:58 A GMT-05
This is one of those long weeks which should go by faster because of all the Holiday anticipation and distraction which go on, right?
Yeah. Right.
Friday the whole company is invited to a luncheon at the E.F. Lane, pretty posh for a company o
You.
Monday, 18 December 2006 6:48 A GMT-05
Me??
"... we didn't just watch, we also worked. Like crazy. We made Facebook profiles and Second Life avatars and reviewed books at Amazon and recorded podcasts. We blogged about our candidates losing and wrote songs about getting dumped.
Small Accomplishments
Friday, 15 December 2006 6:54 A GMT-05
We had a staff meeting to celebrate our accomplishments over the past year, and as we went round-robin about the table spurting out increasingly ludicrous "accomplishments" (I finally blurted out that one of mine was that I was hired)
Only Human
Thursday, 14 December 2006 6:47 A GMT-05
It's often comforting to know that everyone else is human too; for instance I got a Help Desk request from someone who claimed that our phone system wasn't working yesterday. The phone rang and rang, the outside party said, and there was no voi
No news is...
Wednesday, 13 December 2006 6:56 A GMT-05
No news is good news, right?
There's always news: such as the revelation that the new Secretary-General after Kofi "America is Evil" Annan has a bizarre sense of humor and is willing to croon Christmas carols before the world's top di
The Study of Bush
Tuesday, 12 December 2006 6:57 A GMT-05
We know Bush can't read; can he be hard of hearing as well?
Smacking Gums
Monday, 11 December 2006 6:46 A GMT-05
On Saturday we took a trip with my mom down to South Deerfield Mass., and the huge evil monstrosity known as the Yankee Candle Flagship store. It's the largest candle store in the world, sure. But they've also pegged Christmas in a seriou
Let it Snow
Friday, 8 December 2006 6:51 A GMT-05
Hey look! Snow!
Don't look now, but it seems like winter has finally settled on New Hampshire, just in time for Christmas. They've been threatening snow for a few days now--flurries here, flurries there, but finally last night I drove ho
In the News....
Thursday, 7 December 2006 7:03 A GMT-05
Where were we? ...Oh yes. Thursday.
Not too much to report today, just the same old, same old, only it's come out in a pretty book form and was sponsored by a bi-partisan study group, so what was obvious to everyone except Bush can now b
Moon Walking
Wednesday, 6 December 2006 7:01 A GMT-05
Alright! Maybe I'll get to go to the moon after all.
Manned space exploration was in the mind of every kid, even in my generation, long after it was clear we would not be going back to the moon for quite some time. We didn't have p
Survival of the Lucky
Tuesday, 5 December 2006 7:00 A GMT-05
This is how far from our own selves we have gotten; a family of four takes a shortcut in their car, gets stuck in the snow, and isn't heard from for a week. When they finally find them, only three of them are still around; the fourth, the husban
Hunting Season
Monday, 4 December 2006 6:45 A GMT-05
It's hunting season, and I went a-hunting yesterday. No, not for deer. For the perfect Christmas Tree.
We own a large enough chunk of land that you'd think finding the perfect Christmas Tree would be an easy task, but I'm picky. I
Small World, After All
Friday, 1 December 2006 6:59 A GMT-05
Having geared the U.S. up for more of the same punishing weather we got last year, it turns out hurricane season has ended with nary a peep. I'm sure the Bush Administration is breathing a sigh of relief. See? That wasn't bad.
