Today’s the first full day at Nags Head with my extended family (my dad, his wife, and assorted kids and grandkids). The drive down was amazingly easy for a weekend, and after a morning of storms, the early evening is just beautiful. Tonight’s highlight was amazing…we were serenaded by a young guy playing bagpipes as [...]

Oh rats. I picked a really, really bad day to have left the camera at home. And my colleagues who took lots of photos at the rally yesterday apparently weren’t at the session this AM with Martina Navratilova. Bummer, because… She rocks!! Actually, it was very interesting. She prepared some remarks for the crowd on [...]

See Daily Kos for the backstory if you missed it. BTW, I love the payoff at the end of the video: Jet Blue…only room for the right wing.
Cheap date…not!

Ah, it used to be that a weekend date with my twin nieces could be had on the cheap. Off to the park, to Mickey Donalds for some fries and a drink, or maybe some time at the mall. No more! Today’s date (seeing the latest Harry Potter — first time for me, third time [...]

So, heard an interesting tidbit as I left work today. The president of the subsidiary where I used to work is leaving for greener pastures. On the one hand, I must admit to being surprised. The rumor mill had her as a likely candidate for the CEO job of the parent one of these days. [...]

I wasn’t aware of the Schmap travel guides, but when I went to upload one of the cat photos to Flickr just now, I noticed that Schmap wants to use two of my photos in the next edition of their DC guide: I get the Clara Barton photo, but think some of my other Fletcher’s [...]

Be still my beating heart!!!

I heart Google. I occasionally worry that they may well be the “greatest threat to privacy ever known” (Mother Jones), but mostly, they keep seducing me. Look at what I just found…a Google map (already one of my favorite things), now overlaid with two of my favorite map hacks — the DCist Metro Map and [...]
Intolerance

Kathleen recently riffed on how the Pope is a nut-job. And a while back, a loser CNN talking head thinks it is okay to ask a newly elected US Congressman (also a Muslim) to prove he’s not working with “our” enemies. Now there’s this…”a Hindu delivered the morning invocation in the Senate chamber — only [...]
Made me laugh

A colleague emailed the following earlier today: So, how ironic is it that Microsoft Word does not acknowledge or auto-fix the word luddite? I thought it might be a case thing, but no, Luddite isn’t recognized either.
