Wow – the sun is gorgeous, coming up over the eastern horizon this morning. (Horizon is one of those words that I can’t for the life of me seem to remember how to spell. Every time I come to the last syllable, I make the wrong choice and put an “e” in there instead of [...]
I just read (via Google Alert) that Kelly Smith has signed a 4-year deal with the Boston Breakers!
England striker Kelly Smith has stunned Arsenal by quitting the club to play in the United States’ new Women’s Professional Soccer league.
Smith, 30, has agreed a four-year deal with Boston Breakers and joins team-mates Karen Carney and Alex [...]
First off, Alice was in a bit of a rush this morning – else I’m sure she would not have taken the avoidance tack. (She was also clearly disturbed by McCain’s snub of Obama – although her interpretation is probably spot on.) Anyway, here’s her response to my question mark question (lifted from the “Comments”):
“Oh, [...]
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 [...]
Have you been having trouble this week keeping track of what day it is? I’m not complaining about the Thursday Holidays, mind you – but it’s made for some serious disorientation. Nice and quiet at work, though. I’ve been digging through things I hadn’t gotten to for months, and my in-box is down to just [...]
Randomness rules this morning, as 2008 draws to a close with a snowy NH forecast, fighting continuing in the Middle East, a new President in the wings, the WPS (that’s Women’s Professional Soccer for those not well-versed in key JordanCornblog acronyms) will be kicking off in April, and the Pats out of the play-off’s for [...]

It wasn’t looking good for Chase Utley and crew when yours truly hit the hay last night. But 40 year old Matt Stairs’ 2-run homer put the Phillies in the win column for the 3rd time in the NLCS – and on the brink of their first World Series since 1993.
Speaking of 1993 made me [...]
This is a photo of a recent sunset at the lake, sent my way by HollyCornblog (who is also the provider of some of the juicier Sarah Palin news and punditry).
On the Palin front, the plot, as they say, thickens. If you’ve read Stephen’s comments, he’s onto the whole Troopergate thing like a good sweeper [...]
Oh boy, Sarah Palin. Where to begin? There is so much to explore and highlight and, yes, ridicule, about this choice.
When I first heard McCain’s selection, yesterday afternoon, I immediately Googled her, like millions of other Americans, I’m sure. Wikipedia, as expected, was at the top of the search results. I clicked on her entry, [...]
I’ve been meaning to write for awhile about this very neat on-line tool that I’ve been using lately … Google Alerts! This is a free service whereby you can enter any number of keywords or search terms that you want, and receive alerts from Google by e-mail, whenever those terms pop up as the search [...]

I loved coming upon this piece (and video clip) about Michelle Obama’s appearance on “The View.” Yes, greet her properly, please! Meanwhile, Cindy McCain was kinda critical of the original move, form what I heard somewhere (overly vague, I realize). Still, having googled her name and the word “drugs” I gotta say that if she [...]
