Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
It's seriously too damn hot to be at this laptop for very long and, as usual, I only took a few pics. I must say I like the one I turned into the football season banner (for now). That's the team showing off their feet for a cleat check before the game. If you've been... Continue Reading →
Knee feels totally fine after a 2 hour practice yesterday. We are ready to GO! Final season of pop warner - can you believe it?
I shall wrap up by saying - thanks for the great party Markos! The Dkos group hosted a fabulous party in a freakin' church! Seriously, a church was converted to a bar and it was pretty awesome. A live band, some damn funny entertainment and FREE DRINKS for 2 whole hours! Suh weet! I danced... Continue Reading →
First thing in the morning as always - shake off that veil of weary, find food and settle in for a morning conversation between Baratunde Thurston and President Obama's Senior Adviser - Valerie Jarret: Just as with Howard Dean the morning before, they took questions via Twitter and also via the audience's written questions on...

(NN09 = Netroots Nation 09) Anyhoo - too tired to think or write coherently. Tried to post from the iphone but it must have been too picture heavy so it bombed. Here's a couple from the main camera for now and I'll post more later when I have slept more and been rid off this... Continue Reading →
Strap yourself in. Sit down. Hang on. Here we go again. There is a teenager in my house again. A newly minted one. A much different one from the first one to be sure. For instance, the first one actually started out as a quite a good driver. In fact, he IS...as long as he... Continue Reading →
Suddenly camera shy - must be the teen attitude creeping in - so I was only allowed these few photos as they lined up for some offensive play run throughs. I saw some one on one drills but I missed the big hitting. Hopefully when I get back next week I can watch a full... Continue Reading →
