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?"....

Weekend Fun

Monday, 31 July 2006 5:37 A GMT-05
Hey.  Where'd the weekend go? We had a softball tournament this weekend, cleverly called States although, in our league at least, only teams from Keene showed up. I dropped down a league a year ago in order to be able to catch, having re-discov

ORC Macro impersonates a government agency!

Something in the Punch

Thursday, 27 July 2006 5:34 A GMT-05
Yesterday was a continuing ongoing saga, and by the time lunch rolled around, I was feeling punchy.  Unfortunately, so did the Network Administrator and my office mate, so our conversations quickly degenerated past the realm where anyone else wo

Today

Wednesday, 26 July 2006 5:55 A GMT-05
It's just one of those days.  There are multiple items on my mind, things I have to do once I get to work, people I have to call, etc, and rather than detail them all here and bore you and also be late for work, I think I'll just cry uncle and a

Bad Day at the Office?

Tuesday, 25 July 2006 5:53 A GMT-05
I maybe should have run screaming for the hills on Saturday.  Saturday morning, to be precise.  Saturday morning at 3:30 AM, to be absolutely certain you see where I'm going with this.  That's when this lovely song began playing in my

Beating the Heat

Monday, 24 July 2006 6:08 A GMT-05
The use of electricity to power conveniences such as ovens, air conditioners and lights is only about 150 years old or so.  So why is it that widespread electrical outages in St. Louis and New York, and the threat of outages in California, 

Ride to Work

Friday, 21 July 2006 6:02 A GMT-05
July 19th was Ride To Work Day.  I missed the day but not the point; since I ride to work almost every day.  Just the day before a line of thunderstorms had threatened to materialize in the afternoon, and when my office mate saw me marching

Every year about this time of year Gump switches from being the loyal, laid back companion who waits at the front door for us every day to the sneaky, crazy escape dog who--if we're lucky--is waiting for us at the end of the driveway . The problem i

Pick Me! Pick Me!

Tuesday, 18 July 2006 5:58 A GMT-05
Apparently there are 77 points of interest for your wannabe terrorist to strike at in the great State of New Hampshire. We're talking about the state that gets missed when people talk about the states contained in New England.  "You know,&

Truth and Consequence

Monday, 17 July 2006 6:00 A GMT-05
This weekend was hot.  Naturally, I had a softball tournament.  Every year when we have a softball tournament the temperature and the humidity goes way up.  Because I am an innately self-centered person I tend to believe that this weat

Blame it on politics

Friday, 14 July 2006 11:59 P GMT-05
Here's more news on that old tired political front: It's unfortunate that Valerie Plame has to take matters into her own hands, since the administration in charge of the government these days doesn't seem to think they've done anything wrong. There'

If you don't like the weather in New England

Thursday, 13 July 2006 6:10 A GMT-05
That old saying: If you don't like the weather in New England, just wait a second is total bunk. It's been raining here in the New England for oh, about six months or so.  It's our new raison d'etre.  It's our new tourist draw.  Forget

Big Crashes, Lovely Day

Wednesday, 12 July 2006 6:02 A GMT-05
I've probably done stupider things than take off for work on a motorcycle just as a major line of thunderstorms hits the area.  But I've also been smarter. On the other hand it was quite an experience, with the intense rain pooling up instantly

Who you know

Tuesday, 11 July 2006 6:03 A GMT-05
Maybe all men are created equal.  Maybe we all have certain inalienable rights.  Maybe all's fair in love and war.  But it still comes down to who you know. We've been looking for a small alumnimun rowboat-cum-fishing boat for a while

No Place Like Home

Monday, 10 July 2006 6:02 A GMT-05
After touring Nova Scotia and dreaming for a while of owning a B&B or a huge working farm complete with cows or maybe just a summer home situated on the scarcely populated shoreline, we reluctantly crossed back over the border in Bar Harbor, Main

Apres Trip: Pre-Neuve-Terre

Friday, 7 July 2006 11:59 P GMT-05
I don't generally concern myself with the personalities who travel along with us on the Newfoundland fishing trip.  For one thing it's hard enough getting six people to go on the trip and for another I'm not going for the stellar conversation,

Salmon Slayer: The Girl Who Catches All The Fish

Thursday, 6 July 2006 6:07 A GMT-05
A co-worker of mine ran a trip to Newfoundland, to a remote cabin on a remote river.  Only nine people would be on the whole of this wild Atlantic salmon river for a week; six sports and three Newfie guides.  My co-worker would sh
