In the News<\/b>
\nThe President is holding a press conference tonight at 8:00 PM.<\/a>
\nThe bill in the Maryland General Assembly attacking the seal of the confessional has died in committee.
\nThere 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<\/s> Women, where are you on this? Are you out there sticking up for a woman’s right to choose <\/b>breastfeeding? to use her body <\/b>for what it was designed for?
\nI 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!
\nSpring 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.
\nSentence of the day: “Drink juice, Mama please. Yes!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
