JMH at sotto sotto (which sports a very pretty template) blogs on Terri’s predicament and how “gobsmacked” she (J) is at the utter lack (wilful?) of common sense shown by the courts and much of the media covering the case. Jordan also has a post on Terri today, sharing her reflections on an image of… Continue reading Prayers for Terri
If I were running “Spanning the Globe….”
…this would definitely be included: Ever since Tim Russert said “Ohio, Ohio, Ohio” on his little show Ohioans have taken their role in the ’04 election with great seriousness. This has most obviously shown itself by a superabundance of yard signs and bumper stickers. Kerry & Edwards have the most, presumably because much of the… Continue reading If I were running “Spanning the Globe….”
A Rich Boyhood in the Plain Void
No, not mine. It’s Lileks’s memoir. One reason I get a special kick out of this essay is that my parents shop at the grocery store he mentions toward the end; the flowers for my wedding and for my sister’s were from shops in that strip mall. Thanks to Terry for this link.

The hardware store guy did something that annoys the heck out of me each time someone does this. He said “well, you know that’s going to cost around $30…do you still… Continue reading Those Darn Cats!
For the Closing Hymn
at Mass today, the priest had us sing “Day By Day”. I am not making this up.
The moooooooooooon
Alicia has this neat widget on her blog — a little picture of the moon’s current phase. (At this writing it is waxing gibbous.) I thought of it last night. We were out running errands and it was getting dark. Hambet usually isn’t out that late, and when he caught sight of the moon he… Continue reading The moooooooooooon
Kangaroo Courts are Killer Courts
CURE’s statement on the Schiavo decision: While those seeking to murder Terri have denied her the opportunity that she deserves for rehabilitation and while they have distorted Terri’s condition in their Goebbels-style campaign to dehumanize her, this battle has never been about the medical facts. Nor should it be! The life of a person living… Continue reading Kangaroo Courts are Killer Courts
