My first reaction on hearing that Nancy Pelosi’s speech to the House of Representatives may have caused the bill to fail because she was too partisan was that she needs to work on how she deals with men. Men interact with each other differently then a group of women do and to be really effective […]
I’m sure as I read the spin I’ll be reprogrammed to think something else so before I forget my reactions to the debate I’ll write them down.
1. It was a tie. They both came across well and made their points and most importantly didn’t screw up.
2. McCain is a cranky old guy.
3. McCain […]
It is always a good thing when your surgeon is happy with how things went. Caroline’s was. He said the cap at the end of the bone fit perfectly into her shoulder and should be problem free for years to come.
She came out of the surgery in some unexpected pain - her medicine was […]
Today Caroline has surgery on her left shoulder. She’ll have a cap put over the end of the bone so it will move freely. Currently the lack of cartilage makes it almost impossible to raise over her head. Ideally after six weeks of recovery and six weeks of physical therapy it will work as well […]
John is not pleased with the production quality of this movie even though we shot it about 10 times. The camera person was not aware that she should not have shown the dead bodies after the mummy attacked. My apologies.

One yellow croc sits by our door. The other has floated out to sea much to the sorrow of its owner. The lesson learned is: don’t float your shoes in the gutter down to the storm drain in the midst of a major storm. Or, actually, don’t let your friend do it.
We’ll miss the yellow […]
For our last day we did a classic Egypt activity that appears on all the “Things to Do” guides - we took a felucca ride. It was quite pleasant being out on the Nile under sail on a beautiful day. But while it was nice just the two of us, I think the ideal way […]
Coptic Cairo, the oldest part of the city, was settled by the early Christians and the place is full of churches. I didn’t think John would be very interested in it, but it was an easy subway ride away and I thought it would round things out for us.
The entrance is near Roman walls […]
Poor Brian keeps having to listen to me obsess over the whole Sarah Palin issue. He’s patiently listened to a number of topics related to her: What was McCain thinking? Women don’t like to be pandered to (unless maybe there is money involved.) Being in charge of the Alaska National Guard does not give you […]
John loves horses so I returned with him to the place I had ridden here on my last trip. It is a cool little farm with about 20 horses, more dogs, and some mules and donkeys run by a former Maadi housewife who loves her life and animals. While it was the same basic ride […]
