“The Rapture” Open Thread
Youth activities will keep be busy for hours to come. Until then, as we sit and contemplate the end of the world, please enjoy an Open Thread.

Obama’s speech open thread
I’m heading off to the dojo to work out some of my anger at Obama. Meanwhile, feel free to use this post as an Obama’s speech open thread. (Or an anything else you want open thread.)
Continue readingSunday Open Thread (and Book review)
A weekend of uninterrupted domesticity (read: youth activities, cleaning and shopping) left me with neither time nor energy to blog. I’m still rocking and rolling with family stuff, but anticipate that I’ll be back at my computer tonight. I did read something very enjoyable this past week, though, that I’ll
Continue readingSaturday Open Thread
I’ll be gone tomorrow from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., so blogging will be impossible. I did want to leave you with some food for thought, because I’d be interested in your comments on the two passages I quote below, both from James Kaplan’s Frank: The Voice. The first quotation
Continue readingReply brief open thread
Legal work is going to keep me busy this morning, as I have a filing deadline. Before I open this open thread, though, I just have to bow down before jj, whose lovely listing of the inconsistencies in the Administration’s bin Laden stories got me more links than I can
Continue readingSunday morning open thread and book post
Today wasn’t a bad day (at all), but it was a very, very tiring day. I meant to post this afternoon, but I simply dropped in my tracks when I got home. If I get a break from family tomorrow, I’ll be back in business. Until then, here’s a post
Continue readingRespecting my biorhythms — and other rhythms too
I don’t know why, but inspiration used to strike me in the morning, right after I’d done my daily rounds of newspapers and blog sites. Now, though, that information seems to need to percolate for a while, and inspiration strikes in the afternoon or early evenings. I’m sorry for that
Continue readingToday, you can wade in my deepest thoughts without getting your ankles wet
My brain today is a clear, shallow pond, perhaps with a few fluttery goldfish drifting by (think Fantasia). I’m trying have deep thoughts, but they’re eluding me. I think the problem is that I spent chunks of my weekend alternately reviewing documents and trying to bulldoze my son into doing his
Continue readingLate Saturday Open Thread and Book post
I really did mean to post more today, but after a double workout at the dojo this morning (I was having too much fun to stop), followed by housekeeping, shopping, chauffeuring the kids, and cooking dinner, I just ran out of steam. Right now, I’m not Superwoman, I’m “hanging on
Continue readingSunday mish-mash (plus Books and an Open Thread)
Although my regular stat counter is still refusing to speak to me, another stat counter has indicated that my numbers have plummeted, going from the thousands to the hundreds overnight. (I feel just like the stock market.) Since I’m not going to panic and assume that everyone has suddenly abandoned

I’ve got a trial to prepare for today, so won’t be blogging, at least not now. Have it at, you guys!
Continue readingAt least I’m getting paid….
Legal work isn’t half as much fun as blogging (and all the interesting stuff I read as part of blogging). Still, after a year-long drought, I’d be a fool to complain. As soon as I have time, though, I’ll weigh in here. Until then, if you’re having a quiet evening
Continue readingEarthquake Open Thread
I have a busy day today — legal stuff — so blogging will be minimal until much later. I figure, though, that news about the earthquake (which I’ve been reading between making breakfast and kid lunches), should be more than enough to keep people’s brains busy. My thoughts are with
Continue readingMiddle East Open Thread
You’ve probably noticed my conspicuous silence about events in the Middle East, especially in Libya. I simply don’t have anything to add. I’m a spectator here and, until the coin stops spinning and lands on one side or another, I’m not prepared to opine. All I’ve got now are hopes
Continue readingSunday book group?
Is it too late to open a post for those who are interested in discussing books today? I couldn’t get to my computer earlier, because of family commitments and those same commitments preclude my posting anything substantive today. I’m willing to bet, though, that many of you are reading something
