I must be doing something right, because Bob Sheridan stopped by yesterday evening, visited an ancient post, and wrote:
Sorry, but I found Wiff-n-Proof easy. I wish I could find a set now days. It would be fun showing liberal prigs what constitutes real intelligence.
Yikes … I can’t wait ’til he gets into the Sarah Palin [...]
First off, “Thanks be to Beeg,” (as we like to say in these here parts) for sharing HoopFeed with me. If you’re on Twitter and interested in Women’s B-ball, you’ll want to follow. (And for some of you guys, it may make it worthwhile to get onto Twitter – it’s got great info!) This’ll be [...]
Who’d a thunk? I woke up at about 4:30 this morning to the sound of teeming rain — and wondered how our young plants are keeping themselves from sliding down the hill. Really. As the light returns, I see that everything looks pretty much intact out there — albeit waterlogged.
Not so intact are the egos [...]
Thanks for your comment on yesterday’s post, Alice. I haven’t checked out the video Bill Moyers aired – Torturing Democracy – yet, but plan to. Meanwhile, for a never ending stream of despicable and delusional Dickishess there is always the Dick Cheney page on the Huffington Post. I glance at it occasionally in the hope [...]
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 [...]
Amazing game last night as the Louisville Cardinels took it to Oklahoma and are moving on to the national championship game. Angel McCoughtry came back after a dismal first half and scored 14 of her 18 points in the second frame as she helped her team put away the Sooners. Now they have the dubious [...]
First off, our friend Alice (who suffers good-humoredly my unrelenting pressure to become a JordanCornblog contributor) is off to tour Florence today. Happy travels, Alice!
Happily, she will not have to leave before the USWNT faces Iceland in their second game at the Algarve. She (and the rest of us) will be able to follow it [...]

First off, Alice was in a bit of a rush this morning – else I’m sure she would not have taken the avoidance tack. (She was also clearly disturbed by McCain’s snub of Obama – although her interpretation is probably spot on.) Anyway, here’s her response to my question mark question (lifted from the “Comments”):
“Oh, [...]
Have you been having trouble this week keeping track of what day it is? I’m not complaining about the Thursday Holidays, mind you – but it’s made for some serious disorientation. Nice and quiet at work, though. I’ve been digging through things I hadn’t gotten to for months, and my in-box is down to just [...]
Good January Morning! It is bitter, bitter cold here as dawn etches the horizon’s edge with wan light. Here’s a sunset photo shared by HollyCornblog yesterday … the sunset light hitting the hulking wreck off the Cape May, NJ shoreline. (It makes me think of the cold, dark havoc and destruction wrought by the Bush [...]
My goodness gracious … America’s team lost to the Baltimore Ravens last night … giving the Eagles a slightly larger sliver of hope for making the play-off’s (as they meet the Redskins at 4:15). Derrick Mason played a heckuva game (why do I want to say “Brownie” all of a sudden?). He was pretty much [...]
First off — thanks to Alice and Stephen for the compelling discussion of Obama’s choice of Rick Warren for his inauguration. Time will tell, I suppose, whether Obama is backing away from promises or working toward an inclusiveness that is, at the moment, feeling disheartening and frightening. After the hope-to-disappointment trajectory of the Clinton years, [...]

I’m back at it today – back at work – back in the real world. Wondering what it’ll be like, as I write in the wee hours. The sky’s still dark – not even a sliver of dawn yet, at the eastern horizon. This morning I’ll get something posted before Alice checks!
Boltgirl was asking about [...]
From The Poetry Foundation (via Alice) here is a link to a wonderful podcast on the subject of our new president’s relationship to poetry.
How refreshing is it to even be able to contemplate such a subject!?
