… soccer. It use to be that I thought of March Madness as the start of the travel soccer season. That ended this year as my soccer-playing daughter is in college. So today, in what may be promising to be a nice spring day, I get my spring dose of soccer. Susan’s new college team [...]

Okay, I admit. I made dinner - a really good turkey bolognese sauce and whole wheat spaghetti. I drank half of a bottle of Shiraz.
I had to pick up my daughter from work at 3. It was annoying to me as I really wanted to watch the San Jose-Detroit hockey game. I went right from [...]

Okay, so it is 6:35 in the morning on a Saturday and I just finished watching yesterday’s Oprah show about finding men over 35. I really don’t know that there was any ground breaking news on this show but a lot of confirmation of things women probably already know.
You need to project an image, an [...]

Debate, you say? What debate? Earlier I did a blog entry on the early political season. I admitted then, or think I did, and admit now that I am a political junkie. Part of that is work - I do contract work for a company that deals with political campaigns; part of it is information [...]

I am a bit late - except for where I live as there is a huge EarthFest this coming weekend at the local community college. Earth Day is a wonderful day! Unfortunately, I am afraid it is just becoming another date on people’s calendars and is not truly helping to get the planet in better [...]

I had toyed with a run for board of education again this year. I did run one time before but lost the seat. Now, after having made time to go to the board meeting last evening, I am glad I made the decision to not run.
First, at the previous meeting, the superintendent had asked for [...]

In my innocence, I can remember when the only things we discussed in April were shower, May flowers and Earth Day. I know that this dates me.
April has always been a month of new awakenings. Spring comes to its fullest as the snow finally disappears and the robins can be spotted in Upstate NY. Flowers, [...]

I know that it is truly too soon to tell if the slaughter on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, Virginia will have enough influence to change the way America thinks about guns, the second amendment and gun control. Worse, I don’t know that any national tragedy has ever permanently change the way the US, [...]

I was watching The Early Show this morning on CBS. It tends to normally be more fluff than news so I don’t feel that it is a bad way to start the morning as my 12 year old is getting ready for school. Recently, Lou Dobbs - who has a show on CNN - has [...]

Going to Virginia Tech for football is one of the great memories of my college days. Today, I am thinking of Virginia Tech in a different way.
I am sitting here trying to figure out a good way to get a hold of a friend from church to see if her daughter is okay. I cannot [...]
