Tim Russert was just about the only newscaster or interviewer on any of the three big networks that I still trusted to play fair with both parties. I'm sure that Mr. Russert had strong opinions regarding politics but he always seemed to hold both parties to the same standards and refused to soften his interviewing technique in order to advance the point-of-view of one group over the other.

The words I am looking for are "supremely tired." Yeah. I think that's it. Last night was good. I think there were about 40 in attendance...and only a few of those were from my church. So, that's great. Most were from other churches in the city and in the North Shore suburbs. I would do it again. Though, I have some thoughts about this kind of amplified music in such a space as community

Well folks we went to Pocahontas Park this morning at 7.45am and we hit the trails. We rode Lake View I,II,III. We have ridden I & II before but never III. It took off from Lake View II and it was really a GREAT trail to ride. It had many more turns and hills and was long. We decided to park inside the main park and not ride from Quala Lot as that would have added about 3+ miles to the ride

We are going to go and ride Lake View 1,2,3 tomorrow morning. If we rode from Quala Road lot, it will be 18 miles. I think that we are going to park in the main park and cut out about 3 miles of the ride.  I will give some updates tomorrow after the ride.   Tags: Mountain Biking, Pocahontas Park, Chesterfield Virginia, USA   **************************************************

There really is something very peaceful about cemeteries. I've seen drunken nutters walk past cemetery walls and whisper (as only drunken nutters do in that loud exaggerated sssshhhhhh kinda way) to each other, telling the more raucous amongst their group to show some respect. They usually do. I tend to spend ages explaining stuff to the kids, about whether there really are bodies beneath the stones, whether the bones are intact and whether they can escape from their graves. I tell you, TV these days has much to answer (eh, Buffy?). Still, I enjoy cemeteries. Peaceful. Somewhere most people show a little courtesy, a place where those usually prone to vulgarity manage to hold their tongue.

Awake at 8:30.In my gym clothes by 9:15.At the gym by 9:30.Back home at 11:15.Out of the shower at 11:45.Lunch at 12.Blogging at 12:40.51 Fahrenheit later today.Sunday, March 2, 2008 has been a great day.

Last night (Saturday)I checked the weather forecast and it said that today was going to be relatively dry and quite warm - although cloudy and windy. Perfect weather for getting up early and grabbing a Sunday morning stroll. So, before going to bed I set my alarm in preparation for an early start. Not so much because I was going to travel far, but rather to enjoy my next location in peace and solitude."Library Photograph"I awoke this morning to the sound of the buzzer on my alarm, jumped out of bed and took a hot shower, before pulling on my jeans and jumper and setting off for another adventure.Today's location is the magical and mystical Uffington White Horse and Castle (ancient hill fort) in Oxfordshire. I am fortunate that this wonderful historical site is only about 15 minutes from my

Waking up on Sunday like some school day is not a personal choice. It has been forcefully imposed by my kids. I wish, I could reprogram my little patrols(kids) to indulge themselves to stay in their beds until brunch time and sleeping like some angels. To avoid hearing them fighting over the remote control and “who's-turn-who” to watch or pick channel. Worst of all, hearing Sponge Bob sharing his wit.& Me, dreaming to have time to play “tag of war” with blanket, after pulling out my white flag , then resigning by curling-up with hubby to warm me. (Nothing kinky thought please, Sunday morning,k. )Unfortunately, this mama doesn't have this luxury. Forced to be awake & dressed with an apron to start a day.

Bono, lead singer of the rock band U2, is famous throughout the entertainment industry for being more than just a little self-righteous.At a recent U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland, he asked the audience for total quiet.Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands, once every few seconds.Holding the audience in total silence, he said into the microphone, 'Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies.'From the front of the crowd a voice with a broad Scottish accent pierced the quiet ...'Well, fuckin stop doin it then, ya evil bastard!'------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Safety Harbor Middle School :God bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent senior citizens luncheon.

Sully's 2007 in review in two sentences or less He breaks it all down for you, in as few words as possible. From the Trib: Best game I covered A deadline-killing, 10-9 comeback victory over Colorado on June 25 at Wrigley Field. Security guard Anton Migursky made a clothesline tackle of a trespassing fan who approached Bob Howry after the reliever served up a three-run homer to give the Rockies a 9-8 lead during a six-run ninth. But Alfonso Soriano's two-run single in the bottom of the inning won it, setting off pandemonium. And one more for you: Most telling off-the-field moment Cubs fans booed Milwaukee announcer Bob Uecker during the seventh inning stretch and following up with an a capella version of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," and also harassed actor John Cusack

A man wakes up in hospital, bandaged from head to foot.The doctor comes in and says 'Ah, I see you've regained consciousness. Now you probably won't remember, but you were in a pile-up on the motorway.''You're going to be OK, you'll walk again, everything, but something happened.

But the thing is, it doesn't come cheap. It's a thousand pounds an inch.'The bloke perks up at this.'So the thing is' the doctor says, 'it's for you to decide how many inches you want.

After being greeted by an early morning chill upon rolling out from under the warmth of our blankets, my boxer briefs drooping off my hips like a Hanes skort, I finally did it. After helping Kathleen clean what looked like shepherd’s pie from the diaper of our oddly unaffected toddler who tragically was born with a civil defense siren instead of vocal chords (sort of an Edward Scissorhands scenario but with an Emergency Public Alert System and a larynx) I finally did it.

Famous Quotations1) I saw a woman wearing a sweatshirt with 'Guess' on it. I said, Thyroid problem? 2) When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realized that The Lord doesn't work that way, so I stole one and asked him to forgive me. 3) My mom was a ventriloquist and she always was throwing her voice. For ten years I thought the dog was telling me to kill my father. 4) I've often wanted to drown my troubles, but I can't get my wife to go swimming. 5) I was doing some decorating, so I got out my step-ladder. I don't get on with my real ladder. 6) I went to a restaurant that serves 'breakfast at any time'. So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance. 7) Well I was bullied at school, called all kinds of different names. But one day I turned to my bullies and said - 'Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me', and it worked! From there on it was sticks and stones all the way. 8) My Dad used to say 'always fight fire with fir

OK, somebody less clownish than Jose Canseco. In other words, it would be nice if a ballplayer, having been outed for buying HGH from an aromatherapist in Scranton or a manicurist in Biloxi, simply said: "You know what? I wanted to be bigger, faster and stronger. So sue me." Instead, we're learning that Major League Baseball is filled with all sorts of maladies that only steroids and HGH can help. And the fact that these drugs happen to be considered performance enhancers … well, you want to talk about a coincidence. Thanks to the persuasive powers of the American grand-jur

The site was down yesterday so this is the Monday Morning News.Noah's Ark In the year 2007 the Lord came unto Noah and said, "Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me. Build another Ark and save two of every living thing along with a few good humans." He gave Noah the CAD drawings, saying, "You have 6 months to build the Ark before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights." Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard- but no Ark. "Noah!" He roared, "I'm about to start the rain! Where is the Ark ?" "Forgive me, Lord," begged Noah, "but things have changed. I needed Building Permit and I've been arguing with the Fire Brigade about the need for a sprinkler system.""My neighbours claim that I should have obtained planning permission for building the Ark in my garden because it is development of the site, even though in my view it is a temporary structure. We had to then go to appeal t

This morning, as I was standing over unruly pancake batter and the unfattiest, most prone-to-burning bacon I have ever encountered, my husband snuck up behind me and tried to get fresh.

It might be “safer” to say “sneaked” but I’m a rebel. A REBEL. I sneak and I’ve snuck and that is that.

But the Cubs are seeking another starter, and Schilling will likely be somewhere on Hendry's short list. St. Louis general manager John Mozeliak said Friday the Cardinals were interested in talking to Schilling, who is seeking a one-year deal. Another option for the Cubs is 32-year-old Japanese right-hander Hiroki Kuroda, whom they looked at last year before he re-signed with Hiroshima. Kuroda has informed Hiroshima he will exercise his opt-out clause one year into his four-year deal and is expected to seek his value in the majors. Kuroda said there's a 50-50 chance of coming t

A recently unearthed photo of Ozgreeder at last year's Cubs Convention. Rick Morrissey finds himself amusing I'm sure everyone else does, too. And by everyone else, I mean his mom. From the Trib: By now, you probably have heard that workers digging up Wrigley Field last week stumbled upon goal post moorings buried there. The cement was left behind in 1970 after the Bears played their final game at the ballpark before moving to Soldier Field. It has spawned discussion about what would happen if a backhoe disturbed an ancient tribal burial ground at Clark and Addison and unleashed all manner of evil spirits. Given the Cubs' sorry history, the consensus seems to be that it would be considered a positive development. You know, anything to upgrade the club's luck. The discovery of a piece of Bears history raised questions about what else might be buried there. I did some digging myself and found: • Carlos Zambrano, still rested for Game 4. • Al Capone's really, really secret vaul

IMG_4122.JPG Originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl I was sitting here perusing various sites on the net, quietly doing that and looking around the house and out the window. Karen and Weston were still sleeping for a bit. I was sitting in our corner chair, the big comfy one, and I started taking some pictures from that vantage point. I’ll include a couple of those here. This shot happened after Karen and Weston got up and she took Weston outside to “do his business”. Right before this shot Weston was wandering around the living room, just after getting up, sniffing here and there. It was a close one actually, we got him outside just in time. So go the details of our daily life. Right now Karen’s eating a bowl of cereal talking to Mary on the phone, Weston is pulling toys out of his toy box, and I’m typing away. In a few minutes we’ll get up, change into our workout stuff, and head to the racket club to play some tennis. I’d say that so f

Good morning everyone!We're doing a little better this morning but we've still got a ways to go to make the $25,000 challenge. As of this moment(and I don't know when the last time the figure was updated...probably more than a few hours ago) we still need $13,513 to reach the goal. I am sure the number is lower right now it has just not been updated. Slowly but surely we are getting there. LET'S KEEP IT UP!UPDATE - At 3 PM Eastern we are about $10,300 away. I am not sure if we can make it now but every little bit is going to help. We're at least going to match last weekend and that's a great thing.We're getting there. With six hours left to reach our goal, we need a little over $8,600. We're getting there.

A married couple was on holiday in Jamaica. They were touring around the marketplace looking at the goods and such when they passed this small sandal shop. From inside they heard the shopkeeper with a Jamaican accent say, 'You foreigners! Come in. Come into my humble shop!' So they walked in, and the Jamaican said, 'I have some special sandals I tink you would be interested in... Dey make you wild at sex. 'The wife got really interested in buying the sandals, but the husband felt he really didn't need them, being the sex god he was. The husband asked the shopkeeper, 'How could sandals make you into a sex freak? 'The Jamaican replied, 'Just try dem on, Mon. You doan haff to do nutting cept try dem on. 'So the husband, after some badgering from his wife, finally gave in, and tried them on. As soon as he slipped them onto his feet, he got this wild look in his eyes, something his wife hadn't seen in many years! In the blink of an eye, the husband grabbed the Jamaican, bent him v

The Parisian flea markets are real attractions to tourists coming to the country and it has a reason: it is so French!Even for a French person, going to the “marchés” has something particular; perhaps it’s a way to stay close to your roots and your culture. So it’s a real institution and it’s a must-do on Sundays. So forget your late sleeping, jump in your trousers, get a big bag and go!In Paris, it’s easy to find a “marché”, there is at least one in each arrondissement. If you want to find out which one are the best, most famous, organic, expensive or even oldest one, go check the Parisian Flea Markets.

Well, today is one of those lazy sundays. Its roughly 3 o clock in the afternoon and I still haven’t gotten up! I feel terribly guilty but this weekend has been so busy, I needed a break. Living off campus is an expensive affair! Don’t get me wrong, I love having my own place and eating whenever I want and whatever I want; however don’t be fooled when you decide to take the plunge! One tends to consider only the cost of rent and the main utilities and bills… not the food, the mission of finding furniture, kitchen ware, etc etc etc the list goes on! ALOT! Well, I have been living off campus for nearly a year. I absolutely love it and am happy I took the plunge… but it has its good side and its bad. Don’t be fooled, utilities are expensive. I share a two bedroom with my boyfriend (previously we also shared with a friend of ours, but she fell pregnant and moved out…long story, for another day). Anyhow, so, when you sign a lease with someone&he

I GIVE THIS BLOG A FIVE OUT OF TEN BUT WHAT THE HELL, YOU CAN'T HIT A HOME RUN EVERY TIME AT BAT, CAN YOU THERE BUNKY!No one knows when the first joke beginning with the six words "A guy walks into a bar . . ." was told, or how it went. Nevertheless, an entire genre of jokes has been created revolving around that opening scenario. Here's a sampling of some of the variants that have sprung up, many now involving animals or inanimate objects:A guy walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm and says, "A beer please, and one for the road."An amnesiac walks into a bar and asks the bartender, "Do I come here often?"A guy with dyslexia walks into a bra.A young Texan walks into a bar and orders a drink. "Got any ID?" asks the bartender. The Texan replies, "About what?"A pair of battery jumper cables walk into a bar. The bartender says, "You can come in here, but you better not start anything!"A Latin scholar walks into a bar and says, "I'll have a martinus." The bartender asks hi

Anyone with just more than a passing knowledge of Buddhism will be aware that it is fond of lists. The three of this, the four of that and the 64 of the other. The reason for this is simple. It was, like most of the world's great teachings, originally a largely oral tradition. People did not rely on written words but rather on committing things to memory. Even now there are people who know the whole of the Buddhist Tipitaka (the Theravada Cannon) - a feat the enormity of which makes learning the Bible by heart seem like child's play.I am and always have been very poor at learning things by rote. But the three of..., four of ... etc method is there to help. It might not help you remember all the elements of the list, but it certainly lets you know that you've missed something out. (Interestingly, early computer communications protocols used a similar method, involving telling the receiving end how much information they should receive in the next chunk of message prior to send

I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.FOR EXAMPLE: One evening last week, my wife and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me."I said "WHAT??!! What was that?!"So she says the words that every husband on the planet dreads to hear... "You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man." She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?"Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.The next day I opted to take the day off work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at Sears. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't dec

Riiiiing "Hello?" "Mom, will you come pick me up?" "Just walk..." "I don't wanna walk though." "I don't want to come get you." "But I don't wanna walk." "But... I don't have pants on." "So go put some on quick." "No. It's Sunday morning and if I want to sit in my kitchen in my t-shirt and drink coffee, I can." "But I want to drive...." "You can't drive anyway because I can't get out

Just. Throw. Strikes. Cubs lose to yet another namby-pamby lefty Craig Monroe isn't ready to play the savior yet. Something's gotten into Murton though. From the Trib: Lou Piniella issued one of his periodic warnings Saturday about not getting too caught up in the latest Cubs' hot streak. Asked for some advice on how fans should react, Piniella didn't have any. "The fans can do anything they want, because they don't play," he said. "They can go to the ballpark and have a cold beer and root and have some fun. We're the ones that have to go out there and play. "They support us really, really well and they encourage us. But we're not quite into a sprint yet. We're not walking anymore. We're in a little bit of a jog, but we're not sprinting yet." The Cubs then jogged their way to a 3-1 loss to Arizona, shutting down offensively against soft-tossing left-hander Doug Davis. They managed only one run in seven innings off Davis (11-11), spoiling a strong outing by Ted Lilly (13-7),

Let's start off with one for the ladies cause us guys love ya so!Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy.......So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree. Men, on the other hand, are like a fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the shit out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Jason is a three year old who loves to play; “What sound does that animal make?”One day while at the petting zoo he did the usual “baaa, baaa” and moo, moo” and

Wide load, comin' through. Cubs win Eat, it, Cards. From the Trib: By the time the Cubs' "afternoon" game was finished, the Brewers already had a 3-0 lead over Cincinnati in their night game a few miles north. But it didn't matter, for another day at least, what the Brewers did, because the Cubs went home Saturday securely in first place in the National League Central after beating the Cardinals 5-3. "We're still going to watch," Saturday hero Daryle Ward said. "It's starting to get that time where we're grinding it down to the end and guys are getting excited in the clubhouse. We feel like we have a team that should win a lot of ballgames. At first our goal was to stay .500 or so, but now it's a lot more than that." The last time the Cubs were in first place this late in the season was 2003, when they last won the Central. The last time they had sole possession of first place before this weekend was April 28-29 of 2004. Saturday's victory was their seventh in 10 tries agains

Sunday Morning. (not part of the 100 paintings project)Sunday morning in a friend’s kitchen. She has been cleaning as we are all having Sunday lunch together. The fruit has been taken out of the glass bowl so that it could be washed. Lunch is cooking slow and fragrant in the oven, sunlight is flooding into the dark kitchen through the flowers in a vase by the window, skimming the apples lined up on the newly scrubbed table and filling the room with the slow dance of Sunday morning.I am going to enter this painting into an big exhibition. I would be very interested to hear what you think of it. I shall of course let you know whether it is successful or not, in the meantime, keep your fingers crossed.33cm x 46cm. 13in x 18in.Oil. This painting is not for sale (not yet anyway!)

Yeah, I don't know, either Maybe we should go back to mixing up the lineup DENVER - The third time wasn't a charm for Cubs manager Lou Piniella's magic lineup. For the first time all season, Piniella went with the same starting eight for a third game in a row. The results weren't nearly as pretty for the Cubs as the first two tries, both victories over the Colorado Rockies. In fact, they were downright ugly Saturday night in a 15-2 loss to the Rockies before 48,095 fans, thousands of whom were pulling for the Cubs. The Rockies broke open a 2-2 tie with a 5-run sixth inning. The coup de grace was a grand slam by pinch hitter Jamey Carroll against Cubs starter Rich Hill. Carroll has 2 homers this year, both against the Cubs. With the loss, the Cubs (60-56) fell 1.5 games behind first-place Milwaukee in the National League Central. We have a closer by committee, but we're not calling it a closer by committe. Piniella said he'll use Bob Howry in closing situations at times, and C

Children - Where Do They Get Their Ideas From? A kindergarten pupil told his teacher he'd found a cat. She asked him if it was dead or alive."Dead." she was informed."How do you know?" she asked her pupil."Because I pissed in its ear and it didn't move" answered the child innocently."You did WHAT?!?" the teacher exclaimed in surprise."You know", explained the boy, "I leaned over and went 'Pssst!' and it didn't move." A small boy is sent to bed by his father. Five minutes later.... "Dad....""What?""I'm thirsty. Can you bring a drink of water?""No. You had your chance. Lights out."Five minutes later: "Da-aaaad.....""WHAT?""I'm THIRSTY. Can I have a drink of water??""I told you NO! If you ask again, I'll have to spank you!!"Five minutes later......"Daaaa-aaaad.....""WHAT!""When you come in to spank me, can you bring a drink of water?"It was that time, during the Sunday morning service, for the children's sermon. All the children were invited to come forward. One little girl was w
