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?"....

Even though Logan Clements is a misguided Free Stater, I have to admit that I found this particular scheme delicious. It even has a slight air of respectablity, even though he insists, for some reason, on calling Weare a Towne.To be alot more effec
First Harvest
Wednesday, 29 June 2005 6:26 A GMT-05
That's what a vegetable garden is for, after all, but the first time you bend down to pull something edible out of the dirt or pick something of off a vine, you inevitably remember with pride that you planted all of this. The paste tomatoes and som
Foiled Again!
Tuesday, 28 June 2005 6:38 A GMT-05
I sat down this morning to write out a nice long commentary on something (perhaps this: I mean, given that nothing new has happened, why now? And where were y'all in November? Or perhaps this, partially because it surprised me, for some reason, tha
Hallmark Weekend--Just Add Sugar

Eating warm strawberries off the bush, despite their possible inundation with pesticides; grilling asparagus; noticing small but growing tomatoes and cucumbers on the vines upon vegetable garden inspection; biking to the public beach. In between be
More fun in a bottle

The advantage of bored internet surfing is that eventually you'll hit on something interactive that you just have to try. I found this. And discovered that, once again, my inability to remain within the clearly defined gender lines which were dra

3 strikes of the fashion bug
Friday, 24 June 2005 10:33 A GMT-05
I have been praised in my choice of upper torso wear for the past three days. One was a bright red silk button down long-ish shirt, one was a cotton pull-over, purple in color, and today’s is a simple white blouse. The comments have ranged fr
Ears of Steel

Early this morning I retrieved ice from the ice machine for my thumb, which I re-injured in a disasterous softball game last night (I don't want to talk about it). The dog came running into the kitchen, even though he is not a fan of ice cubes.

How did Senator Durbin's Nazi remark bounce off of the Bush Administration and stick to the soldiers of the US military? How does the Commander in Chief of this country manage to tangle every criticism and deflect it back onto the people brave enou
Solstice nonsense with juice
Tuesday, 21 June 2005 6:44 A GMT-05
Today is the summer solstice. And a glorious summer solstice day it is. I was awake early and couldn't get back to sleep, so I actually heard the transition from night into morning. One lone bird was brave enough to start the day, then anothe

Somehow we lumbered all the way into June before I sorted through my fishing equipment and took myself out onto the water. Yesterday afternoon the sun finally came out though, and in warm weather I come out of hibernation. We packed up the kayaks
Evils of working for a book distributor
Friday, 17 June 2005 6:36 A GMT-05
Book Discard Auctions.Naturally as a book distributor there is a lot of excess product. Books which are processed for a library which the library subsequently returns because of something or other, advanced uncorrected proofs of books apparently se
Another Missed Opportunity
Thursday, 16 June 2005 6:33 A GMT-05
I am obviously suffering financially from being a normal human being. A perfectly boring woman who's only claim to fame before she ran away were her disturbingly large, round, permanently startled eyes, cuts a movie deal to tell her life story be

A new poll shows that Americans are skeptical of the weather forecasts they receive. And yet we all still check the weather, despite the fact that the best method remains, by far, the look out the window yourself method. "When you're wrong,&qu
Psychology

Any kind of a sport is really more of a head game, at least once you've learned the basics and gotten yourself and the relevant muscles into decent shape. I play softball in the summers in a league in Keene. It's modified fast pitch, which basica

It's azalea season here at Big House Farms. The question is, does the pink azalea belong with the others? Because we have one vote for, one vote against and one abstention (Gump says they're all good for peeing on) we need the help of our faithfu
Seasons Passing

How quietly passes the winter to the summer. One day the cold wind is ripping through the layers of your jacket and the next day you spot the green leaves of the lilacs and wonder where the blossoms went, and how the grass got so tall and where all
A Beautiful Day

We played hooky yesterday, and spent the day doing yardwork."Played hooky" isnt really the best way to put it. I don't have much to do these days at work, and why waste everybody's time with me twiddling my thumbs at a desk in a cubicle w

Surprise surprise....
Thursday, 9 June 2005 6:26 A GMT-05
Tell me no one saw this coming. Getting a little bad publicity always seems to change the offending party's mind, or, in this case, where the original school sent an "updated transcript" showing a "credit" rather than a "wa

Sometimes Lionel talks in his sleep. Most of the time I'm either too incoherent to engage him in a dream conversation or, I mess up and he wakes up enough to realize he's dreaming and stops whatever line of thought he had. Last night though, we h

Thunderstorms are bad news.He didn't used to be afraid of flashing light and a little banging, but he's no longer a suave young dog. He's an old moosh bag. He got caught out in a violent thunderstorm on one of his abortive Wild Dog Gump adventure

Woke up this morning to a Blog-City Upgrade which, although I had been aware of it in a vague sense, was not sure of what it would entail until I tried to log in this morning. Then finally the blog came up but I wasn't able to get to the admin syst

We had our Ten Year Jeopardy Calendar Anniversary Celebration last night.That'll take some explaining: Many moons ago, four of us worked for the same company in the IT department and, while we waited for the dinosaurs they called computers to boot up
Attack of the Clones
Thursday, 2 June 2005 6:17 A GMT-05
Well okay, maybe they're not clones but they might as well be. We've gone straight into Mosquito Hell without first passing through Black Fly Purgatory. Actually I'm not sure which ones I like least. They each have their peculiar annoying habi
