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?"....

Doing what we can
Wednesday, 28 February 2007 6:21 A GMT-05
Each of us are trapped in this big monstrous system. It's a system that governs our lives everyday, and in order to live in the system, in order to use the system effectively, each of us has to roll with the system to some extent. Those w

I'm not sure why but it's only Tuesday.
Up until yesterday work has been insanely crazy, with very little downtime to actually do work (leading one to ask, perhaps, what I do all day. The answer is, I run around like a maniac trying to put o
And the maple flows again
Monday, 26 February 2007 6:57 A GMT-05
The weekend's weather was glorious, despite the threat of a Midwestern storm racing towards the East Coast (said storm is supposed to dump all of an inch upon us before petering out entirely). Sunday topped up over 32 degrees and last night wen
Nothing on TV
Friday, 23 February 2007 6:55 A GMT-05
There's nothing on.
While we were sitting in the airport waiting for our plane to finally arrive out of the clear blue sky, we sat for a while under one of the wide screen TV's that Newark had helpfully propagated throughout the building, bl
Looking Ahead

I smell sugar in the air.
This morning it is an appropriate 13 degrees out, but yesterday's thermometer topped 34, reminding me that we need to gather our sugaring things together and start bleeding maple trees again. This year we have almos

Flying in America
Wednesday, 21 February 2007 7:07 A GMT-05
The only time I kick myself for giving up my pilot's license is when I have to fly Commercial in the U.S.
There was a peak in the 1990's when commercial airlines really had it down; it was cheap and easy to fly anywhere in the U.S. and we did it f

Aftermath
Thursday, 15 February 2007 6:29 A GMT-05
Washington has one of (if not the) highest town centers in the state. After slogging my way in yesterday morning (a normally 35 minute commute turned into an hour and half mostly because of snow plows and other people) the president of the company de

OH MY GOD THERE'S THIS BIG SNOW STORM COMING RUN FOR YOUR LIVES COVER UP YOUR CHILDREN STAY IN YOUR HOMES!!!!
You'd think we'd never gotten snow before. Oh that's right. We haven't.
Before the storm even started, school cancellation

Gump may not be a talented show dog but he did reveal a new talent last night.
Gumper caught a shrew.
Our house,being old and leaky and with many ins and outs to the great outdoors, constantly has a rodent problem. Mostly we get field mic

As my avid readers may recall (I'm sure all of you remember each detail of my life vividly, which is a good thing because I don't..), our 2003 Saturn Coupe bit the big one early on in the fall with only 81,000 miles on it. The Saturn got fairly

This week has been crazy, and I'm looking forward to the weekend. Except for that car search thing, and also a Budget Hearing for the next Town Meeting, in which the committee I chair is forced to ask the Town if we can expend our own money for
Luckily

Sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you're not.
Last Saturday there was a massive pile-up of vehicles on Route 93 which resulted in one fatality. What didn't make the news is that all the highways around Concord froze up at exactly the
Annual February Rant
Wednesday, 7 February 2007 6:52 A GMT-05
With all the excitement about winter finally coming to New Hampshire only two months late, I'd forgotten that we've stumbled into February, the longest and stupidest month of the year. Usually I come up with a satisfying rant about February rig
Winter
Tuesday, 6 February 2007 7:00 A GMT-05
How fickle we are!
Just a few weeks ago we were all complaining about how we weren't getting enough winter to satisfy our needs. Yesterday I actually heard someone try to claim it was "unseasonably" cold. "Unseasonable&q
Hermits in the making
Monday, 5 February 2007 7:03 A GMT-05
Can you believe it? Only two months into the winter season and I got to plow my driveway on Saturday for the first time!
We got a whopping 4 inches of the stuff, which, for the first time all year, stayed white and crisp and fluffy rather th
Taxing the System
Friday, 2 February 2007 7:02 A GMT-05
Yippee! The last piece of tax information finally arrived--a W2 from the former empoyer YBP Library Services which, apparently, has had so many defections in the past year they thought it would be better to mail everyone's W2 whether they still
Things that make you go..

huh??
You gotta wonder who thought this one up. Was it one rogue individual or a whole dedicated committee which thought that scattering random circuit boards with boxy cartoon characters on them was a great idea? Did they really overe
