The stamina and breadth of knowledge that this man posesses, not to mention the grace under pressure — and just plain grace — are quite amazing.
First — he goes to the so-called lion’s den and schools the GOP brain trust at their annual retreat (well done Mr. President).
Then he attends the Georgetown-Duke game and shares [...]
As you gear up for March Madness, check out this great women’s basketball time-line – from Helen Wheelock of Women’sBasketballOnline.com.
Looking at the time-line that runs through the ’70’s makes me feel a whole lot better about losing to the West Chester State freshman team year after year after year.
And check out this article by Senda [...]
Wow – the sun is gorgeous, coming up over the eastern horizon this morning. (Horizon is one of those words that I can’t for the life of me seem to remember how to spell. Every time I come to the last syllable, I make the wrong choice and put an “e” in there instead of [...]
Okay, of that group, which one(s) would you put your money on?
Citi had a good day and the market bounced … meanwhile, Newsweek has put out a great piece outlining the warring amongst the rich – a greed-fed battle they dub “the war between the estates.”
In the past two years, since the market peaked, investors [...]
Okay, checking out the scene here on a Thursday morning. I am (of course) in a hurry. So here are some quick updates:
HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew will be here this weekend! Hooray! Hopefully the snowstorm/rainstorm that appears to be brewing (get it?) won’t interfere.
The reviews of the new WPS uniforms have been decidedly mixed. Here are [...]
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 was having trouble opening this on my laptop and [...]
Lincoln’s birthday … always an important date in my Book of Days. I do wish that we had never gone the President’s Day route – just too generic for my taste. I was not consulted, however.
Bookeaters are celebrating Mr. Lincoln’s birth with a perusal of Daniel Mark Epstein’s book, The Lincoln’s: Portrait of a Marriage. [...]
Do you live in one of America’s ten most miserable cities? Hope not. That would be miserable. And speaking of miserable – I’d forgotten that Laura Ingraham existed,’til I read this on Huffington. Glad Arlen gave her a scolding. Nothing wrong with debate – but if we had a few fewer of these shrill, [...]

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!) [...]

It feels like Alaska here in NH this morning — and so my thoughts turn naturally to Sarah Palin. She is a busy gal, you betcha.
Everyone’s read, if they follow her at all, about how she is blaming the press for the public’s perceptions of her … and stepping up to protect her family from [...]
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 [...]
