The truth about Swamp Yankee Wannabes
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?"....

Going with the flow
Friday, 31 August 2007 5:53 A GMT-05
Our culture evolves faster than we can keep up.It always has, but the evidence is clearer now, what with all of us connected through great tubes of fast moving bytes. There are the naysayers, suddenly caught up in a wave they weren't prepar
This Old Dog
Thursday, 30 August 2007 5:50 A GMT-05
If I had 4 billion dollars to spend, I might leave 12 million dollars to my dog, too . I think he deserves it. I adopted him when he was four years old, but before that he'd had a rough and lonely life. In fact he was almost eut
Four Months and Counting

Work has still been crazy over the past few days, with me ending up working odd hours to get in implementations of software while people are not on the system. These work-from-home scenarios used to not bother me, but it's hard to concentra
Out of the Horse's Mouth
Tuesday, 28 August 2007 5:29 A GMT-05
Can this not be the height of irony?While simultaneously praising his good buddy Alberto Gonzales and mourning his loss, George Bush said it's "sad that we live in a time when a talented and honorable person" is impeded "from doin

Saturday it was too hot to exist. We finally broke down around 6pm and decided to go find an air-conditioned restaurant far enough away so that the air conditioning in our car would have time to cool us down. That night we gathered all the fans

Under it all
Friday, 24 August 2007 5:45 A GMT-05
I was never much into fashion even as a teenager. Clothing was useful in that it covered vulnerable areas from thorns and dirt and kept the wind and rain out. There was also that societal edict that clothes should be worn. But I did
Welcome Back (sucker!)
Thursday, 23 August 2007 5:56 A GMT-05
I thought it might be easier for everyone in the family if I didn't go back to work full time right away. So I worked three days a week and was off for four. The schedule grated on me and I couldn't wait to get back to the 9 to 5
Surge on, good soldier
Wednesday, 22 August 2007 5:52 A GMT-05
We drove through Kennebunkport ME on our way home on Sunday, joking that we should stop by and visit our friends the Bushes . We decided against it. That's about as close to Bush as we ever want to come. We're bored with Bus
A really horrible, no good bad day

Five Years Running

Five years and three days ago Lionel and I bit the marriage bullet. Since then it's been one long honeymoon. Nonetheless we haven't had a day to ourselves since the bundle o' joy was born, and we were eyeing the Five Year mark
Bye-Bye Bush
Thursday, 16 August 2007 5:49 A GMT-05
Hillary Clinton is surging ahead in her party's polls and she may just win the whole thing, especially since she just got a raving endorsement from Karl Rove .It's fascinating to hear this man speak as though his star wasn't waning , or h
Organic Alarms.
Wednesday, 15 August 2007 5:54 A GMT-05
My bundle o' joy makes a great alarm clock, but she's not so good with the snooze feature. Also she tends to raise the alarm at random--sometimes it's three am, sometimes it's five am. Once it was me who woke her up.
Seasons Changing
Tuesday, 14 August 2007 5:45 A GMT-05
This weekend was beautiful weather and relaxing, not a weekend for stressful news about miners or cynical news about politics or the state of people's health in the U.S. It certainly has no room for stories about people who live on a riv
The turd blossometh no more
Monday, 13 August 2007 10:04 A GMT-05
Can you believe it? Can it be true? Can the Empire really be crumbling ?Of course Rove claims his departure has nothing to do with the million scandals attributed to his name. Right. And Al Gore didn't win the election in
Fellow Farmer Wannabes

We've had a vegetable garden, with varying degrees of attention and success, for about five years now. Each year it gets larger and larger and we get more and more ambitious, to the extent that we are now about to approach the brink between
Blogging the Future
Thursday, 9 August 2007 5:41 A GMT-05
Everyone is suddenly celebrating random blog birthdays . I myself have written 756 entries in 2 years, 8 months and 24 days. That's quite a lot of babbling in the morning. I have picked up some traffic in the last year or so but

We never noticed before, but fairs are Baby Central.We went to the Sunapee Craft Fair on Sunday. Before we knew it, we were surrounded by baby friendly people, who would smile at us as we went by, mostly because of the three month old which wa
Ingredients of an Orchard

What do you get when you mix thousands of softball sized rocks, three thousand pounds of lime, 500 pounds of sulfur, a spreader, a drag chain and in a few weeks, a few thousand pounds of grass seed?Why, an orchard, of course.It's only 90 degrees

Someone stop the world, I want to get off!I'd love to blame my inability to get anything done at work on the fact that I am only working three days a week, but I have a sinking feeling that that's not really the issue. The issue is that
