Trimming

Soon it will be time to do some trimming around here. The lists are getting long and some in the link lists have gone on to other endeavors.

Cats

My buddy John has two new members of the family.

On Graduation

Here’s to my daughter, Kendra.

Congratulations on being a wonderful human being!
And here’s to the next phase.

So, it’s time to move on. I must say that Obama and Hillary are two excellent people. They both know how to play the current game. Although it is hard for spectators to understand or infer the rules. Media news and online information about the political process is almost impossible to put together. [...]

Doninger v. Niehoff

For those interested in the recent Doninger v. Niehoff court ruling, you can find the search area here. Docket number: 07-3885-cv. It is an interesting read. Thoughts forthcoming.

Yard Bears

Here’s the bear who came for a snack this afternoon about 3:45 or so.
Red tag number 57 on the right ear. Cool, calm, and enjoying the sunflower seeds.

Carianne Mack, one of our fantastic professors of art, will be adding a painting to this weblog everyday through the summer. A painting a day, then.

But because the [...]

Yearning

Sure, sometimes I yearn for the desert.
I still have no idea how to write New England.

I just walked by a commercial for an electric pepper grinder. I can think of a few cases where this might be a necessity, say someone with sever arthritis.
But it was also advertised with a hundred dollar grinder. Now that no one needs.
Theme: Americans are entertaining themselves to zero. Hm, that may be hyperbolic, [...]

Downtime

So the website went down yesterday during an upgrade of the photo weblog. Of course, this sort of strangles certain work. I have Alex King’s Twitter Tools widget working in the sidebar as well as the Twitter app running in Facebook. So, if the weblog breaks again, or, if the Course weblog [...]

Eagles

Susan Gibb has seen an eagle.
