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 the entire discussion of whether Sarah Palin can do a job and raise a family of five offensive. 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

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
No, I am not going to write about every week of college football. I am, though, going to watch every week of college football. The first weekend of college football snuck up on me. I knew it was coming but it was also Labor Day weekend. I was scheduled – from a commitment made back… Continue reading College Football Week 2
I am not finding either major party presidential candidate very forthcoming on issue details in their every day stump speeches. McCain is repeating lines that are now old about his new running mate and Obama is, well, a great orator but short on detail none the less. Except when addressin a specific constituency – labor… Continue reading Social Security and Obama
People – mostly the news media – were concerned when the Republican National Convention was trying to get started. It was going to literally rain on their parade. Natural disasters do not consult with political parties for a convenient time to occur. The GOP did what was needed – curtailing events on their opening night,… Continue reading RNC Final Night
