Maybe I’m numb, but all the flap over the near-disaster over Detroit continues to bug me. There’s now a report, and the Senate is going to hold hearings, and I am sure the GOP will be calling for firings and all … zzzzzz …
You know what? I really wish that they would put their energies [...]
I just feel so cynical. People are calling for Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano to resign as a result of the Christmas hijacking attempt over Detroit. It would have been a tragic event, don’t get me wrong … but there is something bizarre about a country that is willing to spend billions upon billions to [...]
In women’s soccer news, there’s the fact that the USWNT posted its final win of 2008 last night, downing China 1-0 in Detroit on the strength of a Heather O’Reilly goal. Pia’s team finishes out the year with a record-setting record: 33-1-2. And maybe the even better news is that there were more than 11,000 [...]
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 [...]
HollyCornblog is back on line and sent along some photos of what it was looking like in her world yesterday. Here’s a beauty!
In the meantime, I had the occasion to drive over toward the Monadnock region of NH (actually Antrim, Peterborough, Greenfield, etc.) and was absolutely shocked at the devastation. There were trees and power [...]

And I don’t mean the sweet syrupy kind – but nice tart ones – delicious, for sure – and probably marginally good for me (yes, I do believe I could make [...]
It’s day two of what continues to feel like a new era. Obama faces a plethora of daunting tasks, and we are on notice that for hope to burn bright, we need to roll up our sleeves and help. That’s the difference. Obama’s no white-haired GOP fake Father-Knows-Best, but a competent and inspiring leader who’s [...]
Having been asleep at the switch on the soccer front for awhile, I was pleased to receive a Google Alert about the USWNT’s most recent win. This one coming in Richmond, VA, where South Korea fell to the USWNT. Vic Dorr, Jr. describes the game in the Times Dispatch. Sounds like Angela Hucles continues her [...]

I’m back from my quick road trip … which was very successful and included a drive through the Delaware Water Gap region – an area I haven’t visited in years. It was quite beautiful – more so than I remembered (from driving through in my childhood). Much of it has been reclaimed as park land [...]
