It’s just one insult after another to Mother Earth; I wonder when as a species we’ll just go one step too far, if we haven’t already and don’t know it yet. I can only regard the BP Oil Disaster with stunned disbelief and incredible sadness. Like the size of the universe we live in, our [...]

Oil Spill Redux Per Rachel Maddow

I’m guilty of watching the occasional bit of shrill TV news. I listen, more like it; I really couldn’t sit still and actually consume a whole hour of TV news unless I were bedridden. But if I listen while in the kitchen I don’t feel that bad. I occassionally listen to Rachel Maddow; she is [...]

After watching this episode of the Daily Show, I’d say: good use of grammar. No wonder Jon Stewart can do the NYT crossword puzzle in pen.

I don’t think I know exactly what I’m getting into; hopefully, this experiment will turn out for the best: but, the other day I called this recommended bee supplier and…..ordered bees! I left that beekeeping workshop really interested in bees. Go figure. They’ll arrive, via overnight mail, May 5th.

I hiked up to Romero Pools this morning with my folks; it’s a bit of an uphill slog through a stunning canyon to where there’s water after rain or snow melt. Since it’s a weekend, we got an early start and initially saw just a few people; but on the way back, we must’ve passed [...]

We got another half inch of rain yesterday, and it’s quite soggy in Tucson; but the day before that, I had a brief hike up at Catalina State Park with Bearbear and my pal India. Check out the saguaros and the water! It looks shallow, but in parts it was knee deep–this, 6 days since [...]

Jazz is the only one who didn’t make it into the photos; sorry, Jazz, you were being to crafty. Next play-date! Here’s Bearbear and Kiwi: Here’s Bearbear making sure Maya knows [...]
Shaun White’s Air Guitar: Thanks for the Laugh!

I love winter sports and every 4 years I go crazy watching the winter Olympics. There are a lot of objections I have to the institution of the Olympics; and also to the classist nature of the Winter Games–it’s not a racially or economically diverse competition: not many kids have access to ski slopes and, [...]
