As the rain pelts and the wind howls outside, I’m on my second cup of coffee, contemplating a blank screen and toying with the idea of writing something really silly.
JordanCornblog has been feeling rather rudderless of late. (Talking about the blog here, not the actual person.) Being “ruddered” was never what I’d call a strong [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Read Naomi Wolf’s thorough and absolutely horrific article about the sexual perversity perpetrated by the Bushies in Iraq and elsewhere. I do not understand why Obama is rationalizing and temporizing about releasing the photos and really going after these sadomasochistic pricks.
The activities of these dudes so speaks to the fruits of the kind of self-righteousness [...]

Yup – it’s a busy day in Canterbury, with lots of computer work on tap, as well as some growing grass to catch up with, a bike to get to the bike shop, maybe even a little bit of exercise (other than mowing) and reading to squeeze in along the way. (Hah!)
Here’s the WPS preview [...]

First off, from ChristopherCornblog, here’s something you’ve gotta see!
In soccer news, Daniela was named WPS Player of the Week after her 2-goal performance against the Freedom. Sadly, I am guessing that she is lost to the Athletica for the rest of the season after what looked like a bad leg injury. (I have not seen [...]
Well, this Monday the leaves are bursting out of clenched buds and the silohuettes of the trees are taking on that lacy, early-spring look. The new greens are woven in with reds, still – and the tulips are coming into their own as the daffodils fade … and birds are trilling and mating as their [...]
If you’ve been paying any attention to JordanCornblog’s track record on sports predictions, you’ll know that it’s pretty much best to ignore anything that I say. (This is, by the way, very freeing in some ways.)
So here are my week 6 WPS predictions … and for more informed previews, check out Christa Mann’s Week 6 [...]
No Phillies game last night – and the Red Sox got pounded. Love the Sox, but Josh Beckett? Not so much. If games like last night taught him some humility, I’d come around. But most likely, it’ll just sharpen his already nasty, cocky edge. You’re a dink … and thinking about you is just getting [...]
First — I watched a snippet of Maddow this morning (it was DVR’d — so not sure what night’s show it actually was) in which she interviewed Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson about Cheney, et al. He’s the former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell. One of the most interesting (to me) points he made with Maddow [...]

… but that didn’t dampen the spirits of the nearly 5,000 Breakers fans who trooped to Cambridge to see their Boston Blues defeat the St. Louis Athletica 2-0 in their home opener at Harvard Stadium. Here are the Week 3 WPS Power Rankings by Jo-Ryan Salazar. (I’ll track these through the season on my WPS [...]
It’s Breakers Game Day. Freezing, and quite possibly wet — but hey, we’re hardy folk right?
Before embarking on this new chapter in Breakers’ history — a pause to remember good times past. Maren? Dagney? We miss you!
No sound with this video — but that kinda makes it all the more resonant, doesn’t it? Love the [...]
The Breakers’ home opener is this Saturday (4/11-7PM) against the Athletica at Harvard Stadiuim. Both teams have an opening day loss to rectify. It’ll be fun to see Hope Solo and Lori Chalupny in town … and just awesome to get the season rolling. A big plus of April soccer in Boston is that we [...]
The Chicago Red Stars beat the St. Louis Athletica in front of @5,000 fans at their season opener. Lindsay Tarpley tallied the goal in the 78th minute for the Red Stars in this defensive battle.
Much as I hate the MatchTracker feature for the USWNT (only because I hate it that so few of their games [...]
Man oh man oh man — here’s Glenn Beck making fun of Obama’s Aunt — and a bunch of other people, too. This is why I’ve been staying away from the news in favor of b-ball and soccer. What a hateful, useless tool!
Isn’t this the dude who was recently weeping about how much he loves [...]
Phew – I feel like it’s been a long time since I sat down with some good strong coffee and just caught up here.
There’s lots of news in the soccer world as the WPS season kick-off is just weeks away! March 29th, to be exact. (I should probably think about taking a day or two [...]
I’m loving the warmer temps here in NH, as the sun rises on this February Sunday!
Have you heard of Jennifer Figge? She just completed the amazing feat of swimming from the Cape Verde Islands to Trinidad … at the age of 56. (And I can’t even get myself to exercise for 15 minutes these days!) [...]
