Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Another day, another apology. The fact is that the last day and a half have been Murphy’s Law every step of the way. Yesterday morning started out bad and then went downhill. Nothing earth-shattering — we’re all alive and in one piece, the house didn’t burn down, and no wars
Continue readingIt’s been one of those days. I’m regrouping.
Continue readingThere are a lot of things I miss about being young. Today, I miss the ability to sleep even if the house if falling down around me. I can’t do that anymore. I somehow lost the sleeping knack when I had babies and I’ve never gotten it back. Sleep seems
Continue readingThis has been a crazily chaotic day. I got thrown off my stride by my morning swim (phase 2 in physical therapy for my knee, now that I’m off the perpetual motion machine), and just couldn’t catch up anymore. Throw in a few unexpected demands on my time and —
Continue readingI went swimming this morning, which is the next phase in my recovery. Hmmm . . . did I say swimming? It wasn’t really. I was in a pool, but between a dysfunctional left shoulder and a mostly dysfunctional left knee, I couldn’t even manage a good dog paddle. But
Continue readingI’m wondering how the gun-grabbing crowd is coping with the horrible news out of China: terrorists with knives killed 28 and injured 113. One can’t help wondering whether, if some of those hundreds of people trapped in the train station had possessed a legal gun, if the terror wouldn’t have
Continue readingLots of good stuff today, so I’m going to dive right in. As always, these aren’t in any particular order, so you may find interesting things buried halfway down the list. I’ve made the same point before, but I still like to see it come from Daniel Hannan and Jonah
Continue readingFor reasons that make no sense to me, in the past week my daily readership has almost trebled. I suspect a bot has targeted my site but, when I allow myself to pretend that it’s actual people checking out my site, I feel really quite good. And now let’s see
Continue readingIt’s raining!!! In California, that’s cause for celebration. Rain in Marin doesn’t mean it’s raining elsewhere, but it certainly matters to use Marin-ites — we have our own reservoir system, so we’re wholly dependent on local rainfall. Ironically, the rain is slowing down our major yard renovation, and we have
Continue readingJust a few quick links I don’t want to leave on the table before I head down to my perpetual motion machine for the rest of the evening. Earlier today, I bought a Mark Steyn gift certificate to help fund his legal battle against Michael Mann, a man who rejoices
Continue readingI only had a narrow window of time within which to write yesterday, but I was able to get a lot of reading done. I bookmarked all sorts of pages and finally have the chance to share them with you. I need to give a big thank-you to Earl for
Continue readingI need to spend more time at my computer, since blogging is my little endorphin rush. The problem is that I also need to spend 8-10 hours a day hooked up to the continuous passive motion machine, which precludes any writing, whether on my desktop, my iPad, or my daughter’s
Continue readingThe other day, I wasn’t able to get to my desktop computer, which is where I write with ease and fluidity. I was also was quite depressed that day. Thinking about it, I told my sister that I wasn’t depressed because life is temporarily inconvenient. I was depressed, instead, because
Continue readingAs all of you have surely realized, I’m a desktop computer person. Having an ergonomically-curved keyboard at my desk makes for effortless typing. I can’t type when the keyboard is in my lap nor do I do well on traditional flat keyboards, which start me on the road to tendonitis,
Continue readingI have to return to my perpetual motion machine, but before I do, I wanted to throw out a few quick links to things I thought were interesting. Second Amendment supporters cheered when the 9th Circuit (the 9th Circuit!!!) ruled that counties cannot concealed-carry licenses by reserving to themselves the
