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 [...]
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 [...]
Nope – but Lucinda Williams kept me up too late at the Capital Center for the Arts. That’s my excuse today.
She gave an excellent concert … although we were very curious about what she was drinking up there … not that it really mattered.
Her band – which played some opening songs alone (they are Buick [...]
That’s how Michael Steele has described the Republican Party. I agree that muck is a great way to describe a medium comprised of the detritus of right wing preachers, radio hacks, and turdblossoms. But it doesn’t seem wise for a party that is struggling mightily to find its identity, should choose as its cheerleader-in-chief, someone [...]
Happy Saturday everyone! Looks like it’s going to be one beauty of a day. HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew should be on their way in another couple of hours and if I disappear for a while after they arrive, well, you’ll know what I’m up to!
Let’s see what’s happening in the world of soccer, first. I see [...]
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 [...]
So the stimulus package has passed, as the sun rises on this beautiful Saturday morning. It wouldn’t have, without the help of Arlen Specter, Olympia Snow, and Susan Collins – courageous, centrist Republicans in a sea of dissembling, disingenuous, faux bipartisan doofusses mouthing old platitudes and marching in lockstep. Why? Putting politics first, it seems [...]
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, [...]
Time is flying by and I am late (a too-predictable refrain these winter mornings). I’d been on a roll with getting up and exercising so far this week, but a late night spelled a late rising this morning. So I’ll see the treadmill tomorrow, but not today. Maybe I’ll hit the bike tonight … not [...]
One of the oddest stories I noticed yesterday was about Plaxico Burress shooting himself in the leg. That seems a particularly inept and bizarre move in a strange year for Plaxico. The Redskins-Giants game was looking like a close call anyway – but now that Mr. Burress has removed himself from the field again (I’m [...]

Boy – a little queasy, though. Soap-infused coffee is definitely not something I recommend on a rainy Tuesday morning.
Speaking of which – is it me, or do you associate Tuesday’s with rain? Thursday’s, too. In my mind those are the greyer days of the week. And speaking of greyer … are greyer and grayer different [...]
Yep – after voting Republican in the past 4 elections, Dixville Notch went blue! Hart’s Location did, too. The tally stands at 32 (Obama) to 16 (McCain) by my calculation. Dixville Notch started its early voting tradition in 1960 and has only gone for a Democrat once before – in 1968. (Let’s hope it’s a [...]

Here’s my feedback from last night’s debate:
First of all, pundits will say McCain had his “best” debate, and they’re right — all things being relative. He really did have some good moments, made some salient points, and sounded reasonable from time to time (despite my not agreeing with any of those points, while also being [...]
This is one of the creepiest things I’ve seen in awhile … at least since the last time I watched the Straight Talker for any length of time.
That one? Really? That soft, fake-friendly voice is downright threatening, don’t you think? It reminds me of someone. Dennis Hopper? Jack Nicholson in a scary movie … or [...]
I’m going to be migrating everything from my old computer to my new one in just a wee bit … so am posting somewhat quickly now. Hopefully you’ll hear from me again. If not, you’ll know that things went badly here …
A bailout agreement has apparently been reached.
I read some excellent debate analysis [...]

I was catching up on some of my favorite blogs this morning and in The Field Negro I came upon this … a “rumor” that I suspect is very true … and is certainly in keeping with the persona that Ms. Palin so happily projects.
“SO SAMBO BEAT THE BITCH”
Yes, that is what she is purported [...]
