Today I was sad to see a Google Alert re. the Breakers indicating that Jen Nobis is out for the season (torn ACL). Sounds like she had been working her butt off in the off-season, which makes this all the sadder. She had 2 goals in 11 games for a generally lackluster Breakers’ offense … [...]
Boltgirl has a nice write up of the WPS draft … a brief reminder (especially heartening to the mid-Atlantic states right about now) that baseball is on the way … and a little link at the end that you must click! All I can say is OMG. Or did I say it already? I sure [...]
In what sounded like a wild and woolly second half, Christine Latham and Kristin Luckinbill were major contributors in a nifty 3-1 win for the Boston Breakers.
The Breakers scored first, on a PK by Kelly Smith in the 54th minute after Scurry fouled Hucles in the box. Lori Lindsey equalized soon after, and Abby had [...]
First, from Alice, this absolutely amazing snippet from the UK featuring Susan Boyle … definitely worth the time it takes to watch!
I’m not up on the Idol phenomenon at all … but this? I love it!
Then this from Sarah Palin – who’s kind of the opposite of Susan Boyle, if you think about it. But [...]
Caroline Kennedy is beginning to articulate some of her positions, as noted in this article from the NY Times. While I like what I know of her, and am in agreement with her stated positions, I do find this run somewhat puzzling after a lifetime of pretty adamant privacy. She comes across as much more [...]
Before I head out to the lake this morning, a fond review of some favorite spots to visit … just to see what’s up one more time. (You’d think I was going off for a month, wouldn’t ya? The way I go on and on and on …)
Oh, and before I forget, we watched a [...]
Wow – it’s still hard to take in the enormity of what has transpired in this country, this week.
I was listening to “Talk of the World” on NHPR yesterday – and the enthusiasm, world-wide, for this president and what the American electorate has done was giving me goosebumps. WE did it. And this election has [...]
Yesterday was a wild one in the sports world, with lots of last-second heroics on the gridiron, and a lopsided loss for the Phillies.
On the political front, the NY Times published a profile of the inspiring individual who is apparently behind many of the spurious rumors that have circulated about Obama on the internet. Andy [...]
The Phillies pulled out a 3-2 win with a big sixth inning and so are up 1-0 over Manny and the Dodgers (a sixties Motown group that some of you may remember fondly — I certainly do). Cole Hamels looked a little shakier than I like him to, but he got the win, and I’m [...]
Why aren’t we reading about the real Palin rally that took place this weekend in Alaska? That would be this one …
… the one that was spontaneously organized and grew by leaps and bounds as the word spread (yeah, like wildfire) to the good folks of Alaska. Why don’t we hear about this rally in [...]

This clip of Charlie Gibson’s interview with Sarah Palin pretty much says it all. McCain may be channeling Bush, but Sarah is pretty much the real thing … never EVER letting her ignorance stand in the way of her swagger and bellicosity.
Here’s a bit more from the interview …
Pressed about what insights into recent Russian [...]
This is a photo of a recent sunset at the lake, sent my way by HollyCornblog (who is also the provider of some of the juicier Sarah Palin news and punditry).
On the Palin front, the plot, as they say, thickens. If you’ve read Stephen’s comments, he’s onto the whole Troopergate thing like a good sweeper [...]
Oh boy, Sarah Palin. Where to begin? There is so much to explore and highlight and, yes, ridicule, about this choice.
When I first heard McCain’s selection, yesterday afternoon, I immediately Googled her, like millions of other Americans, I’m sure. Wikipedia, as expected, was at the top of the search results. I clicked on her entry, [...]
We’ve got Conant vs. Campbell the NHIAA Class M Girls’ Basketball Final this evening (and after tomorrow’s post, my friend CB won’t have to hear about this particular sporting event any longer). My money’s on Campbell tonight … a young program on an improbable run! After tonight, on the sporting front, we’ll be shifting gear to the Algarve. [...]
