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?"....

February 2006



Racing to 2008

Tuesday, 28 February 2006 6:52 A GMT-05
Nothing gets conservatives' blood boiling like Hillary Clinton.  And Hillary knows it, which is why she's waited until now, after 6 years of worried Republican tirades against a Hillary presidential bid, she shoots off the following, simple but

New Routes, Routines and Fuzzy Rabbits

Monday, 27 February 2006 6:46 A GMT-05
I already know the best way to get to Keene (basically--avoid Route 202 at all costs); I play softball there, after all.  But I've never gone there so early in the morning, or for any other reason than fun, rest, relaxation or for hurling balls

Curse of the daylight crazies

Friday, 24 February 2006 11:59 P GMT-05
In large cities the weird people come out at night, hanging out in the shadows and in the alleys waiting to grab the unsuspecting.  In Washington they come driving down the road in broad daylight, stopping their big red pickup truck in the middl

Free as a Bird

Thursday, 23 February 2006 8:24 A GMT-05
Well.  What does one rant about when the weight has been lifted and you've cut the anchor and drifted off on your own, ready to sail new waters?  I don't know.  I got a friendly email from my next boss (the VP of IT.  The Vee

Flotsam and Jetsam

Wednesday, 22 February 2006 7:44 A GMT-05
It's amazing how much crap you can passively accumulate over two and half years. My current position (which has been posted!) didn't call for much archiving of documentation, but I still managed to accumulate folders of information that I'm sure I t

President's Day

Tuesday, 21 February 2006 7:51 A GMT-05
Wikipedia has this to say about February: February was probably named for the Roman god Februus, the god of purification or the Roman god Juno Februata the goddess of passion. January and February were the last two months to be added to the Roman ca

Leaving YBP Library Services...there's room in this here lifeboat.

Bring Your Own Benefits

Friday, 17 February 2006 7:50 A GMT-05
Apparently Blog-City has a neat new feature entitled: CFML Runtime Error.  Instead of your normal, run-of-the-mill boring old blog with entries and pictures and stuff, you get a mass of colorful gobbledy gook halfway between nonsense and actual

Class Act

Thursday, 16 February 2006 7:37 A GMT-05
I have just now learned that we were all wrong to believe that Cheney order Libby to leak classified information to endanger a man's wife as political payback for not supporting the War in Iraq.  Cheney would never do such a thing.  That's

Morels are a type of mushroom

Wednesday, 15 February 2006 7:44 A GMT-05
The Republican Party is in trouble.  The once untouchable VP is under fire for possibly leaking information about an agent, therefore endangering her life and the security of the nation, and also of course for shooting a guy and giving

Hobby Horse

Tuesday, 14 February 2006 7:38 A GMT-05
The thing about some of our hobbies is that there are people out there trying to milk us for all we're worth.  This weekend we drove through ravaged Alstead (ground zero of the great October flood) to get to the Evil Maple Store, which sells ite

More Nothing

Friday, 10 February 2006 7:46 A GMT-05
Take that, you Februarians. Lionel and I spent a good deal of time this morning discussing what day it was.  We were both pretty sure it was Friday but not completely certain, and so the conversation went like this: Lionel: "what day is i

Try Outs, Interviews, and other Evil Things

When you've had enough of the nonsense at YBP Library Services... it's time to find a real company.

Town Hall Fury

Wednesday, 8 February 2006 7:36 A GMT-05
I'm the Chair of a committee in Town, a pitifully small committee but a committee just the same.  We gather once a month or sometimes every two months to discuss our main charge, town land, and what to do about it.  Recently we've gone thro

No News that Is News

Tuesday, 7 February 2006 8:09 A GMT-05
At a loss as to what to rant about today, I started getting desperate enough to take a look at Happy News, which strives to give you the silver lining and the half-full glass of any circumstance, unless it's truly horrible, in which case they ignore

Threatening Weather

Monday, 6 February 2006 7:33 A GMT-05
That's what it takes to make the winter be a winter and not a soggy eternal early spring; I threatened to take the motorcycle out of storage.  Consequently, NOAA is predicting subfreezing temperatures all week.  It might even get down into

One Giant Misstep for Russian-Kind

Saturday, 4 February 2006 8:16 A GMT-05
Earlier yesterday I was delighted to hear the news that I'd soon be able to track a recycled, stuffed, vintage Russian space suit for about 90 hours before it burned up in re-entry.  Straightaway I started pestering Lionel for a police scanner,

Ain't Nuthin To Say

Friday, 3 February 2006 7:38 A GMT-05
Perhaps only somebody really desperate would write a blog entry about how there's nothing to say.  But there really isn't.  Calling it "News" is a misnomer, at least it is at the moment: we've got riots, we've got disaster, we've

Ground Hog Day

Thursday, 2 February 2006 7:28 A GMT-05
The other thing about February is that, because everyone knows it's long and boring, there are about five thousand (give or take a few thousand) National WhatsaMajiggy Days or Weeks, with Stupid Lonely Hearts Day stuck right in the middle and, if you

28 Days Too Long

Wednesday, 1 February 2006 7:32 A GMT-05
Some people get fooled into thinking February will just fly right by because it technically has two or three days less than its 11 other counterparts. If February didn't occur in the part of the year where winter has settled in and is going nowhere i
