Today was shaping up to be a not terrible day. The sky was clear blue. The temperature was pleasantly chilly. (What everyone else calls chilly, I call perfect.) I saw on twitter that snow flakes were flying in Freeport, Maine. Does it really get any better?
And then it all went down hill. We turned on [...]

Nearly everyone in my office is working from home today. The option wasn’t presented until I had already left for the day, and my office laptop stayed on my desk, so I’m here, working! [Seriously, it's going to be a great day to get things done. My goal? Inboxes, paper and electronic, ZERO. Just as [...]

Oliver started playing organized (heh) baseball this spring. It’s been an adventure in so many ways. Last night, week 3, they finally got their hands on bats. When I suggested to the head of the program that helmets might be useful all he could muster was, “Um, okay. Yeah. Sure.”
O is in a group of [...]

Barack Obama was not my first choice for president. I never did drink the kool-aid, but I voted for him. After the convention I was set on staying home, for the first time since becoming old enough to vote. Then came Sarah Palin, sending me entirely over the edge in a matter of minutes. I [...]

Dexter, Michigan is kind of cute. There are some old Victorian homes, with sedate color schemes. and an adorable little three-block downtown. As I got lost Saturday afternoon while trying to find some cold medicine for a friend, I noticed a distinct lack of Obama signs. Driving further out of town I started seeing a [...]

I’ve always found politics kind of fun, and I started young. The summer of the Watergate hearings was an unusually rainy one in Maine, so I watched them. There wasn’t anything else to do. I was seven years old. By the time I was 12 I had read both volumes of Nixon’s memoirs. Though I [...]

Painful as it is, I am watching another debate. I know I shouldn’t but I can’t help myself. I still don’t adore Obama but I’m perfectly content to cast a vote against John McCain. Each debate simply confirms this position.
There are a few things I really take issue with, well beyond McCain’s excessive use of [...]

The best thing about getting only four hours of sleep last night? I have no guilt about skipping the train wreck that will be the VP debate. I stick to an earlier prediction that Palin will be dumped from the Republican ticket.
What really fries my bacon (sorry, that was yesterday) is that she does not [...]

I guess I didn’t make myself very clear in an earlier post mentioning Governor Sarah Palin. Here’s my REAL problem with her: As a parent, I am impressed that she is a mom to five kids and is also very successful in a high-powered career. But as a parent, I can’t believe the position in [...]

A few weeks back my plurk buddies were privy to something they probably wish they had been spared. I shared that on that day, just before noon, I discovered why my panties suddenly felt like the waistband had shrunk dramatically. That’s how it feels when you don’t put your legs (one at a time, of [...]
