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?"....

Dark Winter
Friday, 29 September 2006 6:05 A GMT-05
It's not officially morning until it's light enough to see, and therefore it's okay that I'm still sitting here staring at the computer screen hoping something brilliant will come to me. Nothing has yet, but I'm sure when the sun comes up it wi

Dangerous Combinations
Thursday, 28 September 2006 6:04 A GMT-05
Yesterday at lunch, after getting over our childishness by stealing and hiding a co-workers lunch, we settled down to discuss the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide. The Network Administrator pointed out that its recently been found that anyone who
Fondly Remembering old times
Wednesday, 27 September 2006 6:01 A GMT-05
Hey, remember this guy?
After being rebuffed by his own party, afraid that the whole Monica thing might reflect badly on them, he's back. Big time. And now Hillary has suddenly woken up too. What is this all about? Is this a
Short Memory, Long Lies

It's recently come to media attention that 42% of Americans believe the sudden drop in gas prices is a Republican conspiracy to get elected this fall. Tony Snow, trying to quell the idea, wanted to know why, if Bush could mysteriously drop prices jus
Chaos Spreading
Monday, 25 September 2006 5:55 A GMT-05
Inspired, perhaps by the completely stripped out kitchen, and also by the rain, we finally decided to tackle the room we call the "ell". It's the wooden extension of our brick house. One portion of it we consider part of the liv
Chaos in the Kitchen
Friday, 22 September 2006 5:56 A GMT-05
Does anyone remember this project?
Well somewhere along the line we managed to get the new dishwasher hooked up and working, but despite the gaping hole we had created we were unable to push the thing back into its cave. So for the past 9 mont
Changing the World one incident at a time
Thursday, 21 September 2006 5:56 A GMT-05
A friend of mine and I decided to go to the Portland Airport for lunch one day in the summer between our Sophomore and Junior years. So we rented a Cessna 172 and took off from Manchester NH, finally taxiing up to the FBO after radioing in firs
mmmmm...... Twinkies.....

Oh... are you still here? Geez, and here I was just staring at a computer screen full of... twinkies.
When my brother and I were kids and went to visit our grandparents, they always had the following items in store for us: cherrie
Pussy Foots
Tuesday, 19 September 2006 6:07 A GMT-05
There's not much new going on these days, but I'd pay real money to watch this dance. Just the thought of these two dictators strutting around at the United Nations is funny enough, but the thought of them trying to actively avoid each other wh
Johnny Appleseed
Monday, 18 September 2006 6:00 A GMT-05
With all the fuss going on about the future apple orchard, we tend to ignore the lone apple tree in our backyard. I pruned it a few years back but mostly it fends for itself. This year, despite our neglect, it burst out into fruit.
Dirty Minds Think Alike

Recently the Town of Keene (I assume it's the town's doing) decided they needed to install drainage or somesuch under the parking lot which a great deal of us use. It's a dirt lot with no markings and a lot of potholes, but it's also free, so i
Clouds over Washington
Thursday, 14 September 2006 5:54 A GMT-05
The forecast has been calling for rain for two days now. There's clouds, but no rain. What use are clouds if they don't precipitate and dissipate and leave us with that yellow ball thing? I don't have a use for them. It's
Surgical Mishaps
Wednesday, 13 September 2006 5:57 A GMT-05
Every once in a while you hear of someone who, after having some kind of surgical procedure, complains of bizarre problems constantly until the doctors finally get tired of the whining and do an X-ray or an MRI to shut the person up, only to discover
Apples, Pumpkins, Leaves
Tuesday, 12 September 2006 5:53 A GMT-05
I'm not sure how but we seem to have slipped directly into Fall. For the past few days I've been getting up before the sun, and as usual my brain believes this is wrong, so even though I have gone to bed at the same exact time and gotten the s
A Day to Remember
Monday, 11 September 2006 5:58 A GMT-05
Of course we all remember the day.
I remember the dead pan calmness with which co-workers discussed the news reports which were sporadically coming in. Two planes had struck the twin towers. Must have been an accident. Couldn't hav
Dead as a Doornail

Yesterday I got on the motorcycle and was about to turn the key to start the bike when I finally noticed that it was already on. Or it had been on, for a long long time, until the battery conked out.
Great.
The thing about this bike is
Underestimating Evil
Thursday, 7 September 2006 6:00 A GMT-05
Bush himself gave us the warning we should all heed now: History teaches that underestimating the words of evil and ambitious men is a terrible mistake.
Having milked a bunch of informants dry in secret CIA prisons, Bush is now willing to admit that

Town Gossip
Tuesday, 5 September 2006 7:30 A GMT-05
So far, so good.
The rumors about town are especially amusing. We aren't privy to them all, of course, but what we do hear is fabulous. Some are not rumors at all fast moving gossip which makes it all the way to from one end of town (the
Best Laid Plans
Monday, 4 September 2006 6:54 A GMT-05
First, they came late. A day and half late, to be precise, as we were originally supposed to start this adventure on Thursday. So around 1 pm on Friday I was finally able to climb into the cab of the beat up monster they'd finally brought
Digging an even bigger hole
Friday, 1 September 2006 6:38 A GMT-05
We've played with the little ones before but starting today we're going for the real thing.
About a hundred years ago, the land across the street had been completely cleared for pasture. Somewhere along the line the cows and the farmers
