I have a couple of habits that I am realizing are terribly un-green. One is my amazon habit … a friend turned me on to Amazon Prime and now that shipping is always free I just click and order books as I read about them … I never think to bundle my purchases and regularly [...]

I found this today in my internet perambulations, and it is so right on with how I feel I just wanted to share it: “…just please, please, please leave gaps in your shiny optimised parenting to get wrong and messy. Teaching kids how to surf on the crest of chaos and anarchy, is one of [...]
Somewhere I feel I never went

As I ran past HBS this morning I was struck by the familiar feeling that I simply never went there. I really honestly can barely remember anything of those two years. The photo above seems to prove that I did graduate, but if not for the photographic evidence of 2 years and the handful of [...]

Have just started listening to In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto in the car. Despite Pollan not reading his own book (it’s one of my fundamental tenets, I’m realizing, that an author should read their own audio book!) it’s very very interesting. And I confess that I found The Omnivore’s Dilemma a heavy slog [...]

Random Monday morning musings. This latest Clinstone behavior really pisses me off. As FSJ says, hoo boy. I did love Jon Stewart’s comment last night about how having a black or female president has historically meant (in the movies) that we’re in the future. We’re there now, and wow it’s amazing. Diablo Cody DID win [...]

The Go Fug Yourself girls did a blow-by-blow blog of the red carpet tonight and I must say they are hilarious. Worth a read.So far Jennifer Garner, Anne Hathaway, and Penelope Cruz are winning in my book. And of course George Clooney (though I confess I’m not sure I understand the appeal of his girlfriend). [...]
Feathered Pipe
February 24, 2008 – 7:05 pm
I listened to some old Madonna from the Ray of Light days today while running (and never fear, those of you tracking my terrible taste in music: Supertramp, Tina Turner, and Jesus Christ Superstar were rocking my world too). Reminded me of the years-ago yoga trip to Feathered Pipe Ranch in August 2000. It was [...]

I’ve long loved Maureen Dowd and I think she makes an excellent point in today’s editorial.I’m lost in how the last two paragraphs about how each campaign has spent their money apply to the overall observation, so succintly summarized in the money quote: And when historians trace how her inevitability dissolved, they will surely note [...]

Math of today: 8+ inches of snow +6 hours in car to Vermont +3 times children viewed Aristocats +1 set of wireless headphones that tragically ran out of batteries +0 minutes that anyone slept +3 bathroom stops (awesome development is that Gracie has to go so it’s not always my fault) +5 approximate minutes after [...]
