Life has been hectic, family has been nothing short of chaos-inducing (both sides, for very different reasons), my house is a wreck, and my mind isn’t doing a whole lot better. But, as I learned as a plebe at the Academy, nothing is quite as bad as Plebe Summer, so I can put up with anything [...]

After a nauseating campaign season full of fawning adoration and “thrills up my leg” from almost every major news outlet except Fox (which is now killing the other news channels in the ratings), you would have ample reason to sigh, “That’s it. Really this time. Journalism is dead.”
That tough, junkyard dog, snarling up the tree [...]
Remembering 9-11

While teaching 9th grade CCD, I made a comment about Islam, prejudice, and planes hitting buildings, and the students all looked at me blankly. “Do you not know what happened on 9-11?” Not really. Not exactly. “I realize you were young, but haven’t you seen the footage since then?!?” No; what footage?
Wow.
I remember 9-11.
I was [...]

Ok, I said I was going to be gone, but the crisis is on hold, so I got to watch President Obama’s speech tonight.
Oh, joy.
Now, I’ll say this for him: President Obama is a great speaker, especially if you like traditional “black” pulpit-pounding preaching. (I was a little disappointed at the lack of, “Can I [...]
Going MIA

For my regular readers (all, what? fifteen of you?), I will be missing for a bit. I know; it’s a little late in the summer for a blogcation, but things have come to a rather difficult head lately.
For starters, my DH finished his master’s work and has taken over my laptop to play submarine simulations [...]
Go Navy! (take two)

*gleeful snicker*
Ok, if you don’t know what happened: Navy, for some unfathomable reason (likely national exposure and/or TV revenues), travelled to Ohio to (presumably) get beat up by the Buckeyes.
Which shows how much attention I’ve paid to Navy football lately, except for the annual Army-Navy game. (Beat Army!)
To put it in a nutshell, Navy didn’t [...]
Energy for Homeschooling

Jen at Conversion Diary had a post about homeschooling questions and worries. I found the first one particularly interesting: “I worry about getting physically and mentally ovewhelmed…”
(Now, the irony is, I’m revising this draft and posting it after a day that

involved eight hours of driving
saw [...]
