Sunday Sundries … Before the Great Migration

I’m going to be migrating everything from my old computer to my new one in just a wee bit … so am posting somewhat quickly now.  Hopefully you’ll hear from me again. If not, you’ll know that things went badly here …
A bailout agreement has apparently been reached.
I read some excellent debate analysis […]

The Administration That Cried Wolf, McCain’s Mental Status, the WPS, and Happy Birthday HollyCornblog!

Lots to write about today … and let me start with what’s been nagging at me ever since this whole Wall Street debacle became the latest national emergency.  I keep thinking, “What if this really is an emergency?  Bush certainly looked terrified last night in the clips I saw of his address to the nation.  […]

Tuesday and We’re Back at It

I’m home and still catching up, so this will be brief.  We’re undergoing an audit by the State of NH at work starting tomorrow and running through the end of the week.  (As Princess Sparkle Pony would say … “Yay!”).

Quick Soccer Updates-Big Goal by Markgraf!

The Bobcats had a tough day down at Amherst.  (Don’t worry- you’ll all bounce back!)
Meanwhile, in the WPS, […]

I’ll also be inspecting the amazing and gargantuan work that she and CharlieHopbrew did on the new woodshed up there.
As you can see, […]

So Much Depends …

I read on The Writer’s Almanac that it’s William Carlos Williams’ birthday today.  He wrote one of my favorite poems - The Red Wheelbarrow.

upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens.
It makes me think of looking into crystalline water … absolutely transparent and absolutely mysterious!
Sports is looking a good bit happier than politics and […]

McCain Beyond the Palin - Even Turdblossom Decries the Lies

Yes, it’s true.  Turdblossom (aka Karl Rove) has spoken out about the excesses of the McCain campaign ads.  To my mind the fact that he would do this publicly speaks, not to any new found sense of decorum or fair play in the doughy sleazeball, but to the fractiousness and internecine warfare within the Republican […]
