Hiatus probable

Thursday, July 31, 2008

For reasons not worth getting into, I may be unable to post for a few days. That means no Friday Night Music, in case anyone cares. I did post Crosby, Stills and Nash today, so that makes up for it a little bit.

A Man of Principle

Wednesday, July 9, 2008

There aren’t many in the U.S. Senate, but there’s at least one in North Carolina: L.F. Eason III gave up the only job he’d ever had rather than lower a flag to honor former U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms. Eason, a 29-year veteran of the state Department of Agriculture, instructed his staff at a small Raleigh […]

Flower blogging

Saturday, July 5, 2008

Totally slowed down for the holiday weekend. I spent a good part of the day watching the groundhog, chipmunks, and squirrels run wild over our yard. The Hav-a-hart is on the way for the groundhog, which has grown sleek and fat eating the fruits of my wife’s garden. At this point it considers us of […]

Maine blogging

Saturday, June 21, 2008

My wife and I are spending the weekend in Ogunquit, Maine. I am in no shape to write anything halfway intelligible, so I’m just going to post a few pictures, which might illustrate the amazing changes of weather, or at least cloud and fog cover throughout the day. Our room has a view of the […]

Norwich Bulletin takes on the Courant

Monday, June 16, 2008

It’s hard work, but someone has to do it. The Hartford Courant has made great strides in trivializing the news. It has its sight set on even greater depths, aiming toward a fifty-fifty mix of ads and news-lite. Today, the Norwich Bulletin proved it was up to the challenge. It’s had lots of practice, of […]

Weekend garden blogging

Sunday, June 15, 2008

A few pictures from the garden. This is June, so the roses are in bloom. As usual, clicking on a picture gives you a larger image. My wife says that foxglove is a weed, but I say a weed is anything that grows where you don’t want it, and this stuff is fine right where […]

Yes we can

Tuesday, June 10, 2008

Okay, I confess that I’m a softy and stuff like this gets to me. In this case I can blame it on my wife, who told me to put it up. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PJa3jaEVyM&feature=related[/youtube] I’m sure there’s a similar McCain inspired video out there somewhere.

Missing plug

Friday, May 30, 2008

Yesterday I posted a video of David Sirota’s talk at the R.J. Julia Bookstore, and today like magic I have a comment from the store’s marketing manager. While I’m sure his comment was posted for strictly disinterested reasons, it did remind me that I should have put in a plug for R.J. Julia’s, which is […]

Hagee: Hitler was doing God’s work; Joe: Hagee is doing God’s work

Tuesday, May 27, 2008

Last week John McCain saw fit to denounce John Hagee, the anti-everyone preacher whose endorsement he so eagerly courted a few months ago. You probably read the series of front page articles in the Times about Hagee’s hate filled message and the fact that McCain’s campaign was foundering due to the all Hagee all the […]
