… it is said a young girl’s fancy turns to compost. I admit this statement may make me seem a bit less than young but I do rethink my composting every spring. This spring, my fancy was brought back to composting while reading an article in Mother Earth News. This caused me to get… Continue reading In Spring …
I admit I could never do a carb-free diet. I do, though, try to control the amount of carbs that I eat on a daily basis. I like a good sandwich for lunch, though, so am always looking for a less caloric and less carb rich alternative. Enter Arnold Multi-Grain Sandwich Thins. I first saw… Continue reading Product Review – Arnold Multi-Grain Sandwich Thins
A special election is always news. This year the special election to fill the NY 20th Congressional District has brought out the full force of both parties. Republicans have used this as a chance to start their renewed climb to power in NY where they were recently voted out of power in the state senate… Continue reading The Spin Zone – NY 20th CD

Normally, this would not bother me as I find it intriguing that I live close enough to Pennsylvania that I would get ads for their elections on television, close enough to the 20th that… Continue reading Special Election Tuesday
I read a column by a Yahoo! sports writer prior to the start of the NCAA tournament. It was all about being invested in a team and having them let you down. Well, at least Dan Wetzel still has his dog in the hunt, having fallen hard for Syracuse this year. I, on… Continue reading March Madness Revisited
So I spent a wonderful morning with “the girls” from Binghamton.MomsLikeMe.com. I come home to an inbox that is full, writing to be done and a new, re-designed web site announcement from Tom Suozzi. For those of you who do not live on Long Island, or for that matter in New York State at all,… Continue reading 2010 Elections Are Here

The pictures from the day can be seen at the local paper’s web site or below. My father worked at the local… Continue reading A Day in Early March
