Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
A cool meme went around on Facebook recently asking people to post the first concert they went to. It was a lot of fun to see friend's answers - my favorite, or, the one I was most jealous of, was Led Zeppelin in Madison Square Garden in 1970. Amazing, classic, historic band in an equally...

Adam Lambert sent this out on his twitter feed last night. "Jane Lynch is genius!!" was his comment. He's got that right. If you have not yet checked out Glee - you must!

Pardon me for a moment while I bitch about a bitch who frequently starts into her moments with the phrase "I don't mean to be a bitch, but..." Because after a lotta years of being around this person I think I can safely say she fits the definition. I truly do hate to call anyone... Continue Reading →
Why Obama Won: The Making of a President 2008 by Greg Mitchell My rating: 3 of 5 stars A pretty cool compilation of editorials written during the 2008 Presidential campaign. Gives a fascinating glimpse into the reactions of the political right and left leaning media to the unfolding events. Naturally the articles on Sarah Palin... Continue Reading →
It took precisely 6 months and 25 days into his first teen year for SportsBoy to inspire the first "Anybody want a teenager?!" plea from me. Judging by the August moms list & other friends I know with teens, he's actualy a bit of a lte bloomer, but when compared to his brother, he's waaaay... Continue Reading →
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 →
