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?"....

Life in the Backup lane

Friday, 30 March 2007 6:08 A GMT-05
It's truly amazing how one small discovery can lead to huge discoveries later, like the discovery of static electricity has led to the electrified nation, or the discovery that storms travel which led to the creation of the National Weather Servi

The Right Wing is an Endangered Species

In case you might be worried that Bush would change his tune on the domestic or environmental front before the 2008 election which will signal defeat for his entire party, here's another gem:  The Federal government has decided it's been

The Power of the Veto

Wednesday, 28 March 2007 1:25 P GMT-05
After a few false starts, the Democratic controlled House and Senate are feeling their political wings, plowing over tired and ridiculous rhetoric such as "a vote for this measure emboldens the enemy" or "this sends a bad message to th

Training

My office has gotten crowded.  It's odd training your "temporary replacement."  For one thing in the back of your mind you wonder how "temporary" your replacement will be.  For another your replacement asks you

Spring Snow

Monday, 26 March 2007 5:49 A GMT-05
The geese are back.Once the ice breaks up on the local ponds, they will fly fairly low over our house in the evenings, so low we can hear here the air coming off their wings.  When they do this they are silent.  But when they're high up

Restless chatter

Thursday, 22 March 2007 5:33 A GMT-05
How come yesterday seems so abbreviated and yet went on for so long?  Maybe it was because it was Wednesday.Or maybe it was because I had to leave early for a doctor's appointment which then was delayed for 45 minutes.Or maybe it was the sur

The Chameleon who would be President

Tuesday, 20 March 2007 6:09 A GMT-05
Every utterance, every action, everything Bush does right now is just another nail in the coffin for the likes of John McCain, the Chameleon.

Idea Blizzards

Monday, 19 March 2007 6:02 A GMT-05
Despite the panic that yet another snow storm caused us here in the Granite State, (can you believe it?) the weekend was well represented.  We welcomed the snow, even though the resulting colder temperatures froze all of the sap we'd collec

Piece of cake

Friday, 16 March 2007 6:02 A GMT-05
Technology isn't all it's cracked up to be.  Take yesterday morning, for instance, when blog-city was down for at least two hours.   It's nice when it's up, but when it's not up, well... there's no way I can do

Town Meeting 2007--Long, but never boring.There were a total of 45 warrant articles on the table, one of which was a petitioned article to change the land use ordinance to exclude wetlands from consideration when subdividing, a measure one resident t

Another Year, another Meeting

Tuesday, 13 March 2007 7:13 A GMT-05
It's Town Meeting Day here in NH!And once again the Town of Washington, with a voting population of probably around 900, will meet between the hours of 9am and 4pm, or until the day's busines

Somehow Saving Time

Monday, 12 March 2007 6:00 A GMT-05
My entire week last week was spent reassuring people that the end of the corporate world was not about to occur because of the earlier than normal Daylight Savings Time.  "Worst case scenari

Forced Look

Friday, 9 March 2007 12:00 A GMT-05
Being more of a technically-minded person and less of a creative one, I'm rarely in the mood for web design.  It's tedious.  But last night I bit the bullet (mostly due to threats on

False Patriots

Thursday, 8 March 2007 6:37 A GMT-05
When the big Nine One One hit us, people got patriotic. It was a beautiful thing at the time; spontaneous gestures of affection for our country, mostly involving the raising of the Grand Old Flag. But then the Republican Party hopped onto

Sorry Fans...

Today's excellent blogging entry was stymied by another one of Blog City's Unscheduled Scheduled Maintenance outages. We hope you'll survive the day without us.

The only amusing thing in the news these days, aside from Britney Spear's new career as the Anti-Christ, is Ann Coulter's outburst of inappropriate language (isn't that a medical condition? She really should be treated for that) in which

As Maple Leaves

Monday, 5 March 2007 7:08 A GMT-05
We're one of the few in the area that have actually tapped our trees, oddly enough, since the weather for the past two weeks has been perfect.  But this week will plunge back down into the subfreezing range which will stop the flow for a while,

Decisions, Decisions...

Friday, 2 March 2007 7:04 A GMT-05
Here I am, contemplating the old should I or shouldn't I?  That is, should I attempt to drive down the mountain all the way to work?  Or should I not do that? Usually getting down the hill (thanks in a large part to gravity and good brak

Sugar Snow

Oh my gosh!  Can you believe it?  A second snow storm is on its way to New England!  Two whole storms!  In winter!  Somebody quick, declare a state of emergency!! On Tuesday I got home with enough daylight left to string t
