Another Mouse Story

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

I find this blog contains a disturbing amount of mouse stories, but they keep happening.
Coo wasn’t outside very long when he appeared at the back door with a mouse in his mouth. As Caitlin quickly pointed out, it was a stiff mouse. After agreeing limp mice are dead and stiff mice are alive we […]

Today’s Headlines

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

1. I think I’ll take the Post’s website headline about Bernanke’s comments over the New York Time’s website headline. The Post: “Bernanke: Crises Could End in 2009.” The Times: “Fed Chief Says Recovery May Wait until 2010 or Later.” The actual article in the Post is much less optimistic than the headline; the lede says […]

My Stimulus Plan

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

As a two income couple with no tuition costs this year it is probably up to us to save the economy. We’ve already done some stimulus spending by putting in a new bathroom vanity. Plus we spent $6,000 on travel which should have helped the global economy.

Another Favorite Child

According to my Facebook profile, Caitlin is my favorite child. It is funny how I don’t remember doing these things.

Springlike

Monday, February 9th, 2009

Yesterday was one of those days that make you happy to live in Washington. We had a perfect 67 degrees. So we got in lots of gardening and yard work. John spent the day outside with the gang in the neighborhood and they even broke out the water guns.
The only drawback was the entire […]

School Start Times

Friday, February 6th, 2009

Finally, the idea that high school should start at a later time is almost here. Next year West Potomac is slated to run from 8:30 to 3:20. This really won’t have that much affect on the after school activities because many sports don’t start immediately after school anyway. Field hockey didn’t start until 3:30 and […]

Taxes

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

So, if I don’t pay my taxes will it raise my chances of being nominated to a cabinet position? Seriously though, first Geithner and now Daschle. These guys should both know better. And/or hire better accountants.
“Oooops” isn’t an acceptable excuse and Obama should unload them both since they are tarnishing the credibility of the […]
