I'm sitting in the Fish Tale with the bloggers from Olympia Time, Oly Ost, and einmaleins (that's Emmett, Mark, and Mathias, if you didn't know). We're talking about the upcoming elections this fall--City Council mostly, with a little School Board--and figuring out how to use all the digital tools a...

Dear friend of this blog, Sippican Cottage, reposted a lovely tribute to his father, a ball gunner from World War II. His father, an everyday hero, passed away on March 1, 2009 after 80+ years doing what he was supposed to do. We mourn with our friends in the Swamp and know that the dignity, the dai...

Remember when I used to post here everyday, sometimes even more than once a day? Yeah, me too. Maybe it'll happen again, but not until I get "my own" computer. Sharing sucks. In the meantime: WiiYoga is funny as hell....

which equals 7 real inches, of snow here in Milltown. What did you think I meant? I hate snow. I shoveled my driveway at around 6:30ish this morning, then had boysenberry pancakes, and then went back to bed by 8 AM and slept until about 11:00ish. Been up since then.

Okay, early warning: this is going to get a little heavy, a little sad, and for the newbies…give you a little taste into why you may see my link on so many blogrolls, then wonder why. Don’t front, I know some of you do it. This month marks my THIRD year of blogging. My first year was mar...

I’ve been anywhere but here lately. To be perfectly honestly, I’m not really feeling it right now. Have I fallen out of love with blogging? Perhaps. I’ve also had lots of other things distracting me. First of all, we got cats. Yes, yes, I know…me, a previously declared non-ca...

I'm too far behind in my bills to even catch up at this point, and the only job I can get is a crappy convenience store job that makes me too tired to work anything else during the day and only pays me $979 a month if I work 40 hours a week, and they won't give me more than 30 hours unless I become ...

[fr] Off for the holidays. Some reading recommendations for my French readers. [en] Je me prépare à filer à la montagne. Pour cause de trop de travail et ensuite de trop de virus, je suis restée un peu clouée en plaine ces derniers mois, donc je me réjouis vraiment d’aller m’enterr...

Hey, you. Yeah, you. The one reading over there. You’re still here? Let me dust off a chair so you can sit down. Have you noticed that I haven’t been around much recently? Of course you have; you’re smart. Well I can’t really apologise and tell you how busy I’ve been, b...
