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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I’ve been remiss in not posting this picture of HollyCornblog’s Hop Trellis circa April 2009!
As you can see, she’s done an awful lot of work (backbreaking work, I might add) to give these hops a fighting chance at thriving.
I for one am quite interested to see how hops do under the Obama administration. If you’ll [...]

So here we are back at Tuesday again! I managed to get myself onto the treadmill this morning, and so am feeling quite cocky and proud of myself!
Let’s see what’s out there in the news this morning. We’ve got polls showing that the majority of Americans are supporting Obama’s decisions on the economy — and [...]
Pat Summitt’s Lady Vols gave her a solid, at-home victory over Georgia … and her 1000th win last night! She wanted to hit the milestone at home on the court named after her — and she did — thanks to her “Baby Vols” — a team that includes 7 freshmen!
How does she do it? Leadership [...]
Yup, Auburn (“You can’t win if you can’t shoot“) lost to Georgia last night, leaving Andy Landers and Geno Auriemma both very happy. Meanwhile, Angie Bjorklund and the Lady Vols gave Pat Summitt her 999th win …
I get so depressed looking at Andy Landers sometimes. Just feels like I am being dragged (against my will, [...]
How refreshing to write a headline focused on the letter P and not have Sarah Palin come to mind (except as an after thought, just now — like a toothache remembered).
So these are heady, miraculous times. The Hudson River miracle jet has been fished out of the water and Obama is in DC and will [...]

So it’s looking like Boltgirl vs. JordanCornblog for the NFC Championship next week in sunny Arizona!
Who’d a thunk?
If you are looking for something to fill the empty, aimless hours ’til game time … and the WPS Draft isn’t enough to keep you occupied … check out Ultimate Face Flash.
It’s kinda cool!
Even cooler … if you [...]
Fingers crossed here for another good NFL day for the bird teams. The Ravens I had with a win. But the Cardinals? Wow. I just hope they didn’t steal the Eagles’ mojo. (Nah … an unworthy thought to be having this snowy NH Sunday.) If Ravens can bring down Titans, certainly Eagles can bring down [...]
You’ll need ‘em after reading the piece that appeared in Salon yesterday – an overview and accounting of the damage wrought by Bush et al in their years in DC. It begins:
After a couple of presidential terms, mismanagement in every area of policy — foreign, domestic, even extraterrestrial — starts to add up. When George [...]
So how’s tricks this snowy morning? Nearly everything in Central NH looks to be closed … except work, of course. Off I go shortly.
But first a few tidbits, starting with Celine Dion. Yup, Celine. My friend Sheryl has promised to root for the Eagles if I post a video clip of Celine singing with a [...]
First off, Chip Saltsmann. The candidate for the chairmanship of the RNC sent around a Holiday CD that reminds us all, yet again, of why the Republican Party is having such a hard time these days. Here’s one of the songs (brought to us via You Tube) …
I am not surprised that the RNC would [...]
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 [...]
Went to see Rachel Getting Married at the Red River Theatres last night – and I would HIGHLY recommend it. Here’s a link to a bunch of reviews … nearly all just as positive as the one I have in my head (and will add to the sidebar sometime today).
From ChristopherCornblog, here’s a [...]
The Bookeaters traveled to Portsmouth yesterday where they discussed Ethan Frome at Brazo … after most had attended the Live at the Met performance of Berlioz’ “Damnation de Faust” at the Music Hall.
Thought the Music Hall was cold enough to have us all slipping on our coats and mittens while we watched, I found myself [...]
