What to Blog About, Lil’s Return, Ruby’s Morning, etc.

1
In a moment or two, I'll be taking our Westie Ruby to the vets to have the plaque and tartar scraped off of her teeth.  She's had a miserable and confusing morning, as she wasn't allowed to go "do her business" on her own but went out on a leash instead.  Then, when she came [...] Click to continue reading...

Bad Title, But Lots of Thursday Stuff

0
First off, get well wishes to HollyCornblog who is recovering from a bad ankle sprain sustained in a nasty fall at work.  Keep it iced and raised ... and, as we like to say to Willie (and to Ruby - but with much less effect), "Heel!"

Will It Blend?

0
No baseball to report on.  No debate.  I am forced to move to Plan B.  (Don't try this at home.) What brought me to this?  It began with my morning visit to Woot - a site that HollyCornblog turned me onto some years ago. I check it first thing and sometimes find really good deals.  [...] Click to continue reading...

Trolling Through Tuesday

Check out Susan's comment on Alison's post yesterday (and Welcome, Alison - I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to say here)!  Speaking of the Electoral College, I heard an interesting piece on NPR about the Electoral College - kinda scary how little people know about it!

Home Again and Back to Blogging, by Golly

1
This morning I checked BlueHampshire and was pleased to see this piece about the level of desperation in the McSame camp. I groaned aloud last night when I heard Palin regurgitating that Bill Ayers story yet again.  Despicable and empty ploy ... but what I like about it is how it reflects the ongoing disarried and [.

Soccer, and That’s All - Almost

As the Senate gets ready to vote on a new bill to stave off economic disaster, and Sarah prepares (feverishly) to debate, and George Will joins the ranks of those who see her as unqualified to serve ... and some (unfortunately) find themselves feeling sorry for the lipsticked pitbull ... my thoughts turn (feverishly) to [.

The Administration That Cried Wolf, McCain’s Mental Status, the WPS, and Happy Birthday HollyCornblog!

1
Lots to write about today ... and let me start with what's been nagging at me ever since this whole Wall Street debacle became the latest national emergency.  I keep thinking, "What if this really is an emergency?  Bush certainly looked terrified last night in the clips I saw of his address to the nation.

So Much Depends …

I read on The Writer's Almanac that it's William Carlos Williams' birthday today.  He wrote one of my favorite poems - The Red Wheelbarrow. so much depends upon a red wheel barrow glazed with rain water beside the white chickens. It makes me think of looking into crystalline water ... absolutely transparent and absolutely mysterious! Click to continue reading...

WPS Allocations

2
It's been far too long since I've written about the women's game, so here's some fodder for that anticipated water cooler discussion.

I expected the returns of Angela Hucles and Kristine Lilly to Boston. No surprise there. With another recognizable name like Heather Mitts on board, the Breakers have positioned themselves well with their selections. Click to continue reading...

Pia Being Pia!

Wow - I read today in the Swedish press that Pia has turned down an invitation from Dubya to visit the White House and be graced by his presence. I didn't actually think I could like him less today than I did on July 28 (just to select a random date).  But after watching his smirking [...] Click to continue reading...

Barack Obama Nominated by Acclamation … and Some Other Interesting Stuff … Really!

1
To my mind, this was one of the finest moments in quite a collection of 'em over the past couple of days.  Bill came through last night, too.

Nicole Petignat (I Had a Little Down Time) … and Some Pre-Game Thoughts from Tony DiCicco!

2
Seeing Nicole Petignat on Monday reffing the USWNT-Japan game brought back some really, really bad memories. Having a moment or two, here, I thought I'd Google her and see what came of it. I found, as one might expect, that she's probably human, and probably interesting, and probably not the evil (or at least unnecessarily [. Click to continue reading...

USWNT and Brazil Through to Gold Medal Match

The USWNT and Brazil both won in convincing fashion and will face off on Thursday morning (9AM ET) in the gold medal match. Germany and Japan (maybe it's me ... but doesn't that sound awfully World War Twoish?) will square off in the Bronze medal match-up (6AM ET). Kudos to Japan for making [...]SHARETHIS.

Piercy, Phelps, Phillies, Phantastic Phootball Phanatics … and of Course the USWNT … and Elvis!

First (from The Writer's Almanac), a wonderful poem by Marge Piercy to start your day with something introspective - before diving into the usual sports-centric deluge! This poem runs along the thought-path I was pursuing last night just before sleep. Guess it may be time to get reacquainted with myself . Click to continue reading...

First, congratulations to gymnasts Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson on their gold and silver in the all around, and to Michael Phelps on his 6th gold and 6th world record. On the Browne front, I love it that Jackson Browne is suing the McCain campaign for stealing his music. How dumb are they? Another [. Click to continue reading...

On the USWNT front, Lindsey Dolich has posted a nice preview on ESPNsoccernet about this post-Abby team. Abby's injury "forces the issue" as far as the USWNT's transformation goes.
