Wow, as I look out my window I’m struck by the inveterate greyness of March. Isn’t that what you think of? March … November … winter’s leaden book-ends.
Back in Philly I remember that March always also spelled the beginning of lacrosse season … wooden sticks and muddy fields and the joy of being outside again [...]
Went to see Rachel Getting Married at the Red River Theatres last night – and I would HIGHLY recommend it. Here’s a link to a bunch of reviews … nearly all just as positive as the one I have in my head (and will add to the sidebar sometime today).

In the meantime, John McCain is [...]
Continue reading about Hillary and the Convention, McCain and Oil, and an Obama-nation!
