Cloudy with a chance of hope. Tuesday, June 19, 2012. Off with her head: hilary mantel and the p word. I should probably lead in with a bit about how much I enjoyed Hilary Mantel's Man Booker Prize-winning Wolf Hall. How surprised at the pleasure to be had despite the weighty tome and dusty subject matter (Thomas Cromwell, and while we're at it, might as well call a spade a spade, the nothing-new-about-it (one might think) relationship of Henry VIII with his wife (not wife? But on to the point, as I fear...

the whidbey report: is that a carrot in your pants

Cloudy with a chance of hope. Thursday, May 3, 2012. Is that a carrot in your pants. The microwave discussion continues. We don't have a microwave, actually, the house we're renting came with one but I hid it out in the rickety 1920's garage, behind paint cans and moving boxes. He still managed to find it. The conversation went like this: Why were you looking. I asked. Because I just had a feeling. Hubby however seems to feel (! He says and I say huh? And the winner is! Seemed now or never. For us, t...

Cloudy with a chance of hope. Sunday, August 28, 2011. The hiatus: or, what I did on my summer vacation. To say and see how that worked for me. An option to the platform is of course solitary confinement. Did I say an option? Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). And the winner is! Seemed now or never. For us, the collision of raising a family in suburbia and the worst economy since the great Depression took us to the edge: it made us look our life in the face, own up to that nudge that said.

Cloudy with a chance of hope. Thursday, April 12, 2012. Give em hell harry. And yes, a certain same old song and dance but this year the boggart in the (otherwise empty) wardrobe is wearing a powder blue tux and that Howdy Doody wooden-toothed smile, and yes, I am talking about our pal Mitt and his tax rate. I think my exact words to the poor accountant we consulted were whatthefuck? And be done with the rest of them, Romniculous, and even the soul-sucking Dems et al, once and for all.

Cloudy with a chance of hope. Sunday, February 27, 2011. It counts as a homeschooling lesson in philosophy and. Physics). And to think I used to get frazzled over such transient numbers as hubby's 401K or, once, actually argued with an appraiser over how many feet our 2/3 added up to, hoping he'd pencil in another 56 (what about the attic? So that the numbers would break the 1200 sqft glass ceiling. Or when the numbers zipline the other way? Links to this post. Saturday, February 19, 2011. Goodbye to ano...

Cloudy with a chance of hope. Friday, July 15, 2011. One chinchilla w/ everything. So maybe it's not just me. Now that Harry Potter is on to his own midlife crisis with the kids off to school and Ginny looking more like her mother every day, my child asked me when our Ms. Rowling will out with another book. Not one to let a learning opportunity slip by, I posed my own question, okay, two: first, I said, are you crazy? For a chinchilla w/everything please see craigslist). Links to this post.

Cloudy with a chance of hope. Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Lost: answers to the name of paradise. Which requires a new pair of shoes. And isn't it a tad bit harsh to expect some neophyte backyard farmer to think of everything, t-tape for the drip system and how many bags of compost will fit into the back of the car much less do everything because where then does it all stop? A mind not to be chang'd by Place or Time. The mind is its own place, and in itself. Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n,. Many t...
