I laugh as I listen to the Weather Channel and their planting forecast. Of course, being based in Atlanta, they probably have had their last freeze of the season. Living in the northeast, I know better than to plant anything prior to Memorial Day. I have spent the morning look for information about a local… Continue reading Spring Planting
Yesterday, I admitted to leaving the television on as background noise throughout the day as I work. I even listed what I tend to listen to as noise. My oldest is home today and missing a class on films. He was told he was going to miss the viewing of Taxi Driver. This has never… Continue reading Background Noise
Okay, blogging about this is going to keep me from blogging about the latest White House scandal. This is probably a good thing at the moment. I always have the television on quietly in the background as I work. I work from home and the computer and the television are in the same room. The… Continue reading Another Side of Me
Have you ever thought that your vote doesn’t matter? I really thought that the US public got over that in 2000 – after the chad debacle but I was so wrong. My local school district put two proposals in front of the voters yesterday. The presentation of these proposals was flawed from the beginning but… Continue reading Your Vote DOES Matter
While I live within a mile of a dual Iraqi-US citizen who felt that getting rid of Saddam Hussein was a good thing, I still speak my thoughts on the matter.

Unfortunately, I don’t have bar patrons to comment on but comment I will on the games. I am… Continue reading Live Blog – NCAA Tourney
While the Niagara University Purple Eagle men’s basketball team was unhappy to be playing in the play-in game for the NCAA tournament, they did meet up with an unexpected acquaintance. The University of Dayton pep band – who had played for Niagara at NIT events at HSBC Arena several years ago – met up with… Continue reading Thank you, U of Dayton
If you have read my blog at all, you will know that the school district I live in is putting up a capital project for a major vote. The vote includes expanding both the middle school and the high school with additional classrooms which will “eat into” current athletic fields. To offset this problem in… Continue reading Town Interferes in School District Vote
MSNsportsNET.com – the official site for WVU Mountaineer sports – has the following quote in an article about WVU being on the bubble to go dancing. According to West Virginia SID Bryan Messerly, only twice in the existence of the Big East Conference has a 20-win team not made the tournament: 20-8 UConn in 1980… Continue reading Mountaineers & Orange Make History
