PTO

Friday, 28 September 2007 6:00 A GMT-05

I took yesterday off, not as a vacation day or as a sick day, but as a real, live Personal Time Off day, to accompany my husband and daughter to Dartmouth-Hitchcock in Lebanon. The Bundle o' Joy was diagnosed early in her career as having

Lahars in time

Thursday, 27 September 2007 7:20 A GMT-05

We've been there , you see, so it was doubly frustrating. The stately Ruapehu, ski mecca this time of year, finally blew its top yesterday morning. And I missed it!The locals, apparently, were hardly concerned. In deference to

Crazed Heads

While Bush has been busy pronouncing random world leaders dead and then claiming, even more bizarrely, that it was Saddam Hussein's fault (Saddam caused global warming and AIDS! Saddam Hussein caused Communism and Apartheid! Saddam w

Harvest Blues

Tuesday, 25 September 2007 5:13 A GMT-05

Yesterday morning Lionel offered to make plattar --a staple when I was growing up-- and I got so excited I forgot to write a blog entry. Or maybe I thought eating it was way more important than blogging about it. In any event, it was love

A salt and battery

Friday, 21 September 2007 7:30 A GMT-05

I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing but I fit in perfectly with the crowd at work.It's a good thing, of course, to be accepted by your peers. But consider this scenario:Your office mate, through a very complicated story, h

Too many cooks in the kitchen

Thursday, 20 September 2007 6:00 A GMT-05

Because we're wannabes and not real Swamp Yankees, or perhaps, rather, real farmers, our various preservation projects end up happening in our kitchen or out in the open or sometimes in the basement, as opposed to a separate, well organized space

Ships in the Night

Wednesday, 19 September 2007 5:56 A GMT-05

The Bundle o' Joy has a cold. And when the Bundle can't sleep, ain't nobody can sleep. So for the past two nights or so we've been getting up and trying to explain to the Bundle that sleep is a good thing and that we'r

Innocent until...

Tuesday, 18 September 2007 5:53 A GMT-05

Either holding its nose and sticking by its principles or going out of its way to show that when they say "justice for all" they really mean "all", the ACLU recently filed a friend-of-the-court briefing in favor Senator Larry Cra

Local News on the Nines

Monday, 17 September 2007 5:56 A GMT-05

Things are looking up . In other New Hampshire news, what was supposed to be a symbol of the end of an era, instead became a symbol of a town which does nothing right .And finally, my favorite tax evading clown friends are at it again. M

Comments Welcome

Friday, 14 September 2007 5:58 A GMT-05

Good morning, fellow blogospherians. Some of you may have noticed that, when you tried to comment on either of my blogs, you would have to wait for me to get around to approving your comment so that it would appear. I didn't do this

Roughing

Thursday, 13 September 2007 5:57 A GMT-05

Okay, this guy has one thing right. Aftershave, while 90% alcohol in its purest form, should not make one flammable for an extended period of time. I'd say that's a reasonable expectation of any body ointment or makeup you may de

Wannabe bloggin'

Wednesday, 12 September 2007 5:58 A GMT-05

It's one of those days again where I appear to be much more interested in checking out my statistics, my referrals and how the heck people get to my site in the first place than to actually write something meaningful which might bring you all bac

News is no news

Tuesday, 11 September 2007 5:53 A GMT-05

I don't know what people are so surprised about; Britney's new song even warns the listener that what follows is a dog. What else can she mean by "It's Britney, bitch!" ?In other news, Derry, NH police wasted five hours

Fall Harvest

Monday, 10 September 2007 9:53 A GMT-05

It's September and there is much to do.We've got most of our wood in (though it's not in the basement where it needs to be but stacked outside, and "most" is relative) but we still have an entire row of carrots to process in one

Spiderweb

Friday, 7 September 2007 5:56 A GMT-05

My spider friend is back.And I guess she thinks she's got a pretty cool pad, because now she has a roommate. So now there are two very large arachnids making their webs under the eave of our backdoor slider. It's getting late in

In a Tizzy

Thursday, 6 September 2007 5:53 A GMT-05

An actual death of their own has put the Republicans even further into a frenzy, and the death spiral of Senator Larry "I am not gay" Craig has them writhing in agony. They were breathing easier after the weekend when Craig succumbe

Pass (on) the Salsa

Wednesday, 5 September 2007 5:31 A GMT-05

My very first favorite food was olives. Green olives with pimentos or black pitted olives you could stick on your fingers; it didn't matter, though the green ones frequently came out of the martini's of the adults around me for that ext

Fields of Gold

Tuesday, 4 September 2007 5:59 A GMT-05

Labor Day is a day for laboring, right?The last part of making a field, before we dig more holes into it and stick trees and shrubs on it, is to seed it. Left alone by itself it will of course green up with all numbers of plants, but not pretty
