Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Because I promised I would share (though I did also write a Netroots Nation auction solicitation diary on Saturday, I didn't necessarily want to to document that one for posterity). Posted at DailyKos at 6am pst since the kiddie pool dwellers start twitching if they don't have their morning playground by 9am est. Bill usually... Continue Reading →
I promise this is not a political post, but get this: One of the front pager writers from DailyKos is sitting in on the Rules Committee hearing on the House Health Care Bill. He's there courtesy of the Chairwoman, Rep Louise Slaughter who got him on as credentialed media. He's covering it by "live tweeting"... Continue Reading →
Mine is posted over on DailyKos - the story of the flight of the peregrine falcons I witnessed one day on the Torrey Pines Trails.

See the couple at the head of the table? Sweet Prince and I met them in Nov '05 on our second Mexican cruise. I wore my DailyKos shirt to lunch one day and she spotted it and struck up a conversation. Turns out she's Bloomer101 on the site! And this year they made the trek... Continue Reading →

I am *really* looking forward to my birthday this year. No, it is not a 'Big' number birthday (although, the number does keep getting bigger dammit!). Nothing that ends in a 0 or even a 5. In fact, I am looking forward to it for reasons that have nothing to do with my birthday. Jan... Continue Reading →
