I usually wax political here when I discuss the upcoming election. Today I am going to point out that it is primary day in my home state of NY. If you are a registered voter, get out there and vote. Aside from that, if you are – as I am and for the first time in… Continue reading Useful Election Events Upcoming
I live in upstate New York. Until June of 2006, my only thoughts of emergencies as an adult were thunderstorms where my power went out or snow/ice storms where again it was a power issue. I did, after September 11, 2001, have some pangs about chemical and biological emergencies. These were very shortlived. Unfortunately, the floods… Continue reading Emergency Preparedness
Yes, in two days time, I will turn another year older. I could be coy and say it isn’t polite to ask a lady her age. I am, though, enjoying my age way too much to keep it a secret. I will turn 47 this Thursday. I am so excited. Below is the first birthday… Continue reading Another Year
While I am not a huge fan of Bill O’Reilly nor of Fox News, I am intrigued with O’Reilly’s recent interview with Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. I do not find the interviewer rude when he tries to get answers to the question he has posted but he does do it a lot in the… Continue reading Obama in the No-Spin Zone
As the organizers say in most of their release materials, where else will you find 19 bands playing in 11 hours? Well, just yesterday, it was in downtown Binghamton at the downtown end of the Washington Street Bridge at Blues on the Bridge. Hopefully, some pics of the day will show up on this blog… Continue reading Blues on the Bridge

I find it offensive as a woman but more importantly, I find it offensive as a single mother of six. Granted, I have six kids, not five, and as of this moment, none of my… Continue reading A Day in the Life of a Mother of Six
I typed up this blog entry yesterday before heading out for Mass but imagine! My luck with computers and it is off in cyberspace somewhere but not on my blog. I spent Saturday watching a number of college football games. The one of most importance to me, though not by any means the most exciting… Continue reading The Long Bus Ride Home
There are a number of blogs I check on a regular basis. At this time of year in this particular type of year, these blogs are mostly political. Today, I was cruising the health blogs at Yahoo while I watched college football and got ready for my run. Last week it was Lucy Dazinger’s blog… Continue reading Basic Weight Loss
John McCain spoke to AARP’s national “convention” via satellite feed at 12:30 pm ET today. The format was similar to that of McCain’s opponent Barack Obama in that there were opening comments and a statement by McCain prior to a question and answer session from pre-submitted questions of AARP members. McCain, in my mind, was… Continue reading Social Security and McCain
Here’s a post for you women out there. I guess it is also for you men out there who like women or who have a woman in your life – mother, sister, wife. So really it is just a question. I was purusing my normal political blogs today when a headline caught my eye. The… Continue reading A Question for the Women out there
