In which my computer returns from the near dead

Tuesday, December 16, 2008

If you’re a Mac owner, you may be aware that an update of the latest operating system (Leopard) was released yesterday. Naturally, I rushed to install it. Now, my computer had been acting a bit funny recently, and in retrospect I guess I should have heeded the warning signs. I had to unplug certain USB […]

Closed for repairs

Sunday, December 7, 2008

This past Friday, after my most recent post, several running programs on my beloved Mac seized up. I could not “force quit” them. I couldn’t even shut down the computer. The spinning wheel of death spun on, oblivious to my efforts. There was only one solution; I had to put her down. Gently but firmly […]

To bark, or not to bark

Wednesday, November 12, 2008

I never got the chance to thank the friends (who we all missed on election day) who (along with their dog) sent me this card: Now that the election is over I must admit that it has crossed my mind that maybe I should go back to pointless barking, though some might argue that I […]

Election reflections

Wednesday, November 5, 2008

This has been, beyond doubt, the most extraordinary political day in my experience. I had multiple opportunities to observe voters during the course of the day. People were willing to wait in line for hours, without complaint. Many came armed with documentation, to make sure that they couldn’t be turned away. Some waited an extraordinarily […]

Happy Halloween

Friday, October 31, 2008

Well, we broke all modern records at the homestead today. When we first moved here we would get literally 10s of trick or treaters on Halloween. In recent years traffic has been consistent, at zero. This year we had two, meaning we had an increase of an infinite percentage over last year. I briefly considered […]

Mea culpa

Saturday, October 25, 2008

I want to apologize to those who check in to see Friday Night Music. I had to trek up to Logan Airport yesterday to pick someone up. I left at 4 and returned at 9, by which time I was pretty much exhausted. I wasn’t capable of writing, and I totally forgot about the music.

Makes Perfect Sense

Friday, October 10, 2008

It’s time for Sean Sullivan to pull out of the race for Congress. His past associations make him completely unfit for the office. Why do I say this? Well, consider this new attack from the McCain campaign: The McCain campaign is now broadening their attack on Obama’s past association with William Ayers to include Michelle […]

For it, before he’s against it.

Friday, October 3, 2008

Via Thinkprogress: Yesterday during an interview with the Denver Post, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) claimed, “I will not and have never supported renegotiating the Colorado River Compact,” an agreement that “governs how seven Western states, including Colorado and Arizona, share the Colorado River“: MCCAIN: And by the way, whatever misinterpretation there may have been, I […]
