It’s gotta be Ravens-Eagles – obviously. The universe has spoken!
Yesterday the dogs brought home a big, wild turkey carcass. Willie did the heavy lifting, I’m sure – and Ruby probably took over once he had it out of the woods and at her feet. (I am very happy to report that I was blithely working [...]

The USWNT plays China in snowy Detroit today (while the UAW and the rest of us wait for news of the auto industry bailout … and snow falls in Michigan, and here in NH .. and presumably pretty much everywhere in between)! After what Pia did with this team in the Olympics … Obama might [...]
It’s all about the ground game now. To my mind, that’s gotta give Obama another leg up as the final hours tick away. For actual data, as well as some good anecdotal reportage, check out FiveThirtyEight.com — a new addition to the links here.
Wish I’d found it sooner. The polling data is in-depth — and [...]
The Red Blazer is a restaurant that’s graced the scene in Concord, NH for quite some time. I’ve visited it on occasion through the years – mostly for work-related events. I definitely haven’t been a frequent flier – but their efforts on the sustainability front definitely make me want to support them more.

I was noodling around the WPS site this morning and came upon this interesting blog post about The Forgotten History of Women’s Soccer … so thought I’d share the post and add the site (Soccer Science) to my Links. It meshes the worlds of soccer and technology in what look like some very interesting ways.

Okay everyone, get to bed EARLY tonight … because it all starts up again tomorrow! West up … or maybe do a wittle weading about waccoons!
The women rounded out their Sweet Sixteen last night, and here’s how it stands. All of the number 1 and number 2 seeds moved into the next round. The number [...]
While Hillary and Obama duke it out in some of those “other” primary states, we’re distracted by weighter matters here in Central NH. Today, we are a mere twenty inches away from breaking the all time (recorded) snowfall record … probably less after yesterday. My back can attest to the enormity of the accomplishment … [...]
My sister is visiting this weekend (YEAH!) and among other things we’ll be celebrating the second annual beer tasting fest … an activity which she pretty much initiated here last winter (and at which I made the sad discovery that some people I hold very dear actually like WHEAT BEER). I apologize if I am [...]
Last night I and hundreds of others in Concord, NH, witnessed an amazing reading of poetry by three United States Poets Laureate: Maxine Kumin, Donald Hall, and Charles Simic. Its remarkable to see and hear so much richness and virtuousity in one place … and even more remarkable to contemplate the fact shared by Mike [...]
