That first day that there is frost is always a plus in my book. The air is brisk most of the day. The sky is clear. Saturday was that day. My son, who was insistent on going to a neighboring school to watch a girls’ diving invitational, had to scrape his car windshield for the… Continue reading A Beautiful Fall Day
Not to try and leave off where I did but below you will find additional topics covered last night in the vice presidential debate. I have tried hard to not listen to or read very much on the debate today so these are my thoughts. Climate Change Causes – This topic is a tie. Sarah… Continue reading The One and Only Vice Presidential Debate – Part II
This blog entry has been floating around in my head for a few days. I would toy with talking it through into my mp3 player, which also has a voice recorder, as I ran because that is when the difference in seasons really hits me. The colors are so vibrant. The breeze is stiffer and… Continue reading Fall …
The hype around the debate last night was more interesting, in my mind, than the actual debate. Yes, in many ways, it was historical with Sarah Palin being the first woman to be nominated as her party’s vice presidential candidate. Yes, there was a black woman as moderator. I didn’t think either of these items… Continue reading The One and Only Vice Presidential Debate
Not only is my fifth child graduating high school and going off to college in 2009, he is attending the presidential inauguration in January. His economics teacher also teaches an AP Government class. The class is taking a bus to the inauguration. Because one AP class does not fill up the bus, students who were… Continue reading Inauguration 2009
I know, you are thinking I must be drinking early in the day. Who has ever heard of an email alarm clock? I turn my computer off every night and, well, how would that work? No, that is not quite the method I am looking at today. I open my email first thing every morning… Continue reading The Email Alarm Clock

All fine and good but the weather, for the first time in my memory, canceled the annual parade. Homecoming week starts off with the Junior-Senior Reversal game. The junior and… Continue reading Homecoming
The current House of Representatives is made up of 435 members, four delegates and one resident commissioner. There are 235 democrats and 199 republicans and one vacancy. Today on CNN, Jack Cafferty said all 435 members should be thrown out. I want to ask you what you think. I realize that Cafferty thought that the… Continue reading What Will the Next Congress Look Like?
Is that actually what it was called? All you hear on news telecasts, and even in print, is bailout. And, while I do not believe that the bi-partisan bill was the answer to Wall Street’s problems or would insulate “Main Street” from the problem, I still stood in my living room watching the vote count. I… Continue reading Financial Recovery Bill
Let me start by saying I had trouble concentrating on the debate at first. I found the Big East match up of UConn at Louisville much more interesting than the start of the debate. My thoughts on why – both candidates were tiptoeing around the economic questions so as to not “upset the market” or… Continue reading The First Presidential Debate
