In the News
The President is holding a press conference tonight at 8:00 PM.
The bill in the Maryland General Assembly attacking the seal of the confessional has died in committee.
There is some kind of bill in the Maryland General Assembly -- I think it's just been introduced -- reasserting a mother's right to breastfeed her baby any time, any place. (Sorry no link yet, just heard the news in passing on the radio and haven't been able to find a link yet.) Apparently a federal court has already ruled on this (protecting the right to breastfeed) but mothers are still getting harassed. (I personally have not encountered this, but when I was attending LLL, the leaders had talked to several women who had.) As I was typing this, I originally wrote "woman's right" instead of "mother's right." Hey, National Organization for a few old Women, where are you on this? Are you out there sticking up for a woman's right to choose breastfeeding? to use her body for what it was designed for?
I finally got the pictures back from Best Buy -- a day late and with a double helping of attitude, but I've got them, and the order wasn't screwed up. Watch this space!
Spring is coming! Our snow is melting and I can see our garden patch -- I'll try to get out there to measure it tomorrow. The song birds are coming back -- I saw a cardinal in the yard this morning. And there are buds on the little dogwood tree we planted in the front yard last fall! I also saw some suspicious digging in one of the flower beds; I hope that chipmunk has not been chowing on my bulbs.
Sentence of the day: "Drink juice, Mama please. Yes!"
