Today I was sad to see a Google Alert re. the Breakers indicating that Jen Nobis is out for the season (torn ACL). Sounds like she had been working her butt off in the off-season, which makes this all the sadder. She had 2 goals in 11 games for a generally lackluster Breakers’ offense … [...]
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 [...]
First off, is Andrew Card crazy? He’s tweaked about Obama disrespecting the office of the Presidency. Why? Because Obama changed the dress code at the White House. Good grief. Is that what Andrew Card really thinks? Is he a grown-up? (And I loved the comments on this piece … especially the one about how the [...]
So how’s tricks this snowy morning? Nearly everything in Central NH looks to be closed … except work, of course. Off I go shortly.
But first a few tidbits, starting with Celine Dion. Yup, Celine. My friend Sheryl has promised to root for the Eagles if I post a video clip of Celine singing with a [...]
First and foremost, it’s the 25th anniversary of the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund – an amazing organization that has had a huge impact on the lives of people in NH. (It is also one of the few investments that hasn’t tanked in recent months … so you might want to think about investing your [...]
It was a good run, Red Sox … but now it’s up to the Phillies to take the devil out of those Rays, I guess. A rested Philadelphia team meets the Rays in Florida for game 1 on Wednesday night. Here’s hoping for either a good, exciting, long Series or (my personal favorite) a four [...]

It really wasn’t a contest at Dodger Stadium last night … and wasn’t one at Hofstra, either.
The Phillies clinched their sixth-ever World Series berth in just five games, with a 5-1 win over the Dodgers, behind good offensive production and the strong arm of NLCS MVP Cole Hamels! I’d love to see them face the [...]

Yesterday was a wild one in the sports world, with lots of last-second heroics on the gridiron, and a lopsided loss for the Phillies.
On the political front, the NY Times published a profile of the inspiring individual who is apparently behind many of the spurious rumors that have circulated about Obama on the internet. Andy [...]
The Phillies pulled out a 3-2 win with a big sixth inning and so are up 1-0 over Manny and the Dodgers (a sixties Motown group that some of you may remember fondly — I certainly do). Cole Hamels looked a little shakier than I like him to, but he got the win, and I’m [...]
I’m very excited to be heading over to HollyCornblog’s house today for a weekend visit. We’ll be doing some chores at the lake like bringing in the dock, bringing in HollyCornblog’s sailboat, etc.
I’ll also be inspecting the amazing and gargantuan work that she and CharlieHopbrew did on the new woodshed up there.
As you can see, [...]
Why aren’t we reading about the real Palin rally that took place this weekend in Alaska? That would be this one …
… the one that was spontaneously organized and grew by leaps and bounds as the word spread (yeah, like wildfire) to the good folks of Alaska. Why don’t we hear about this rally in [...]

Other than football, what’s up today?
Well — here’s an excellent site that a friend sent me last night .. and I’m adding it to my blogroll. It’s Worse Than Bush — and it’ll help help keep you motivated! First off, from the site, this video …
There’s plenty more where THAT came from!
On the wardrobe front, [...]
Here we go! As the USWNT soccer news slowly dwindles, the news on the political front picks up. Here’s a link to Michelle Obama’s speech from last night (text and video), and here’s a link to video and an article with Obama’s daughters interacting with (and interrupting) him last night. And here’s a link to a new [...]
I’m going to put it on the table this morning, because I feel used. There it is. Oh, and did I say alone? Abandoned?
This time last week in NH we were the focus of the US political universe (with the exception of planet Rudy, whose erratic orbit careened toward a different solar system). This time last [...]
I came away from the Democratic debate reminded again (after a seven year drought) of how refreshing it is to hear people who speak with knowledge and thoughtfulness about complex issues. Sure, they were also using buzz words and spin and the shorthand of political rhetoric to some degree … but their command of facts and their thoughtfulness [...]
