I just sent out my initial March Madness e-mail … as the excitement builds. We had some blog readers participate last year … so be sure to be in touch if you’re interested again and I haven’t contacted you!
I am mulling my post about anger … need to set aside some time for [...]
Been awhile! I think I’m heading toward a not-every-day schedule here – or at least, let’s say a less predictable schedule. We’ll see how it goes.
In the meantime, life goes on, the days lengthen, snow falls and melts, and who should be reappearing on the landscape but Mitt Romney! He’s starting to make the rounds, [...]
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 … [...]
I was going to write about the WPS’ Sol Dispersal Draft (Boxxy went first, and Marta moved up the coast) and especially how the Breakers fared … but I had a comment by a guy named Noah on my post about Obama at the Georgetown-Duke game … and just felt like I wanted to focus [...]
Looks like the skies in Western PA are gonna be cloudy for Punxsutawney Phil today. The final word ain’t in, though … as I write … and I’m rooting for more winter … MORE SNOW. (After all, we’ve gotta get in some more practice time with our wovel)!
And before moving another step into today’s post [...]
Sad news (I was too obsessed with John and Liz to pick this up when it first came out) .. the LA Sol have folded. You probably heard it from Boltgirl first! (I heard via an e-mail at work from a friend.)
At first I was horrified on hearing it — PTSD from old WUSA days. [...]
If you go to the site of any WPS team these days you’re likely to see a counter displaying the days, hours, and minutes before opening day. We’re something like three months away, with a bit of March Madness in between, but with the days getting longer, you can definitely feel the soccer in the [...]
While I wait for the Eagles’ decisive defeat of the Cowboys tonight to get underway, I thought I’d do a little catching up on the WPS front.
The 2010 season gets underway in April. The Breakers’ home opener is Sundat, 4/18 at 6PM against the Philly Independence – who’ll be bringing Heather Mitts, Kelly Schmedes, Sue [...]
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 [...]
There’s an odd, bright light in the sky this morning, and a strange bluish tint between the clouds. What could it be? Something to worry about? It seems benign enough — but so at odds with our recent weather but it does give pause.
The deer must be on the move around here, as Willie and [...]
Breakers beat Red Stars 2-0, to move up a wee bit in the standings.
We watched in the kitchen on the laptop … thanks for the webcast!

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 [...]

Well, there is big news on the WPS front with the firing of Ian Sawyers as the FC sky blue coach. Should be interesting to watch Sunday’s game as FC sky blue versus the Breakers is the match being televised on Fox soccer Channel at 6 PM.
I think I remember that Mr. Sawyers has had [...]
Yahoo … RPE is home!
Kudos to Obama on an excellent (and politically astute) choice.
I do not like Giant Forest Hogs (think Rush Limbaugh).
Nor do I like the Black Mamba Snake (think … hmmm … Mitt Romney?)
RPE will have to tell the tale(s).
I DO like Safari Lager … will have to see if HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew [...]
It’s finally Friday, and after work today I’ll be driving over Hogback to HollyCornblog’s house! She says she’ll have the chiminea going and some homebrews ready for sampling when I get there!
In soccer news I see that, apparently, a share of the LA Sol is going to be up for grabs soon. Any buyers? Any [...]
I am in the midst of preparing for an annual retreat that I attend every June — an opportunity to reflect and explore. This year, I find myself thinking a lot about my father — appreciating and missing him in ways that I’d never have imagined several years ago. As I’ve been walking Willie, this [...]
That’s not a typo – but I’m morose as well, after Rebecca Moros scored for the Freedom against the Breakers, and all the blue team could come up with was a tie in yesterday’s match. I am sure that they wanted to pull off the win against the Abby-less Freedom … and with Maren Meinert [...]
Okay so I do, I really do want to be rooting for Obama — but what’s with this latest appointment? GE’s defender on environmental issues, Ignacia Moreno, has been hired to do the legal stuff for EPA? How did Obama explained this decision, I’m wondering. It kind of gives me a weird feeling in my stomach. [...]
