Americans love a winner. Americans will not tolerate a loser....Americans play to win all of the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed...the very idea of losing is hateful to an American.
Gen. George S. Patton, Jr.
Max Scherzer against the Astros in 2008. Came in relief and fired 4.1 perfect innings with 7 strikeouts and amazing stuff.
I actually forgot to mention I was at Tony Cingrani's debut as well last fall. He was very impressive.
In person, Chien-Ming Wang. Didn't even get the win, but pitched seven strong innings with six hits and two runs. No strikeouts! I wasn't used to such a groundball pitcher -- very efficient. Yankees beat the Blue Jays 4-3.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
J.P. Arencibia.
"This isnt stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
Will Clark. He homered off of Nolan Ryan in his first MLB plate appearance in 1986 @ Houston. In the home opener a week later, he homered off him again.
I just realized I was at Sam Lecure's debut. The Reds beat the Astros 15-6 and Lecure pitched well.
It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice... It merely required no character.
― Joseph Heller, Catch 22
Mo Sanford
7 IP, 8 Ks, 1BB and got the win. Looked real good doing it.
I did not actually witness it, but I heard Red Sox rookie Billy Rohr's first ever major league start in 1967 on the radio (WHDH?) against the hated Yankees. He had a no-hitter going into the 9th. With two down and one out away from a no-hitter, Elston Howard hit a weak flare over the infield for a single.
I remember Carl Yastrzemski made a great catch in left to keep the no-hitter in tact. Billy Rohr never really amounted to much after that game, but I will never forget listening to that game.
In 1967, there were not many games televised locally. We listened to games on radios. I remember visualizing games as I would listen to them. Today I have MLB.com and it is (probably) better.
"I am your child from the future. I'm sorry I didn't tell you this earlier." - Dylan Easton
Was it a hand-held transistor radio? I remember taking one to school that Fall of '67 to listen to the World Series. They were played during the day time back then regardless of weekday or weekend. 2nd Grade and a couple of other kids listened with me during recess to the game on the radio. That was a huge deal in Portland, Oregon in 1967, to be able to hear a Major League Baseball game on the radio of any kind. On certain nights in the Summer you could pick up Dodger broadcasts all the way from L. A. They would be bouncing off the stratosphere. The struggles we went through back then to try to get a baseball fix. Used to go to the downtown library to get week old and two week old copies of The Enquirer and The Post to read about the REDS. Had the Baseball Digest subcriptions. Picked up The Sporting News whenever I could afford it. Those were good times.
Starlin Castro
Yes, it was a little black transistor radio with a little metal grill over the speaker. I used a little ear piece to listen to games after my bedtime.
It was The Sporting News I had the subscription to and The Baseball Digest I read at the library. I actually learned to read because of those publications. In elementary school, they expected us to enhance our reading skills with text and SRA folders that featured boring stories about things I had no interest in reading or learning about.
Baseball was what interested me and enhanced my reading skills.

Lambert-Eaton syndrome (also called Eaton-Lambert syndrome) is a very rare condition in which a person's immune system attacks nerve tissues it mistakenly identifies as invading organisms. As a result, electrical signals do not travel between nerves and muscles as they should, which typically causes weakness in the upper arm and thigh muscles.
Other symptoms may include a dry mouth, muscle pain, vision problems, and droopy eyelids (ptosis). Men with Lambert-Eaton syndrome may also be unable to achieve or maintain an erection.
Certain forms of cancer can sometimes trigger the development of Lambert-Eaton syndrome.

Phos-Chek LC95A-F
Phos-Chek LC95 fire retardants are concentrated liquids that mix readily with water by recirculation, agitation or with mechanical or electronic Phos-Chek liquid proportioning systems. Phos-Chek LC95 fire retardant solutions are the only liquid concentrate (LC) ammonium polyphosphate retardants that offer both the ease of mixing and handling of a liquid and the aerial drop advantages of a gum-thickened retardant. The elastic nature of the thickener in Phos-Chek retardants reduces drift, dispersion and evaporation and facilitates increased fuel coverage, wrap around and penetration through canopy and ladder fuels to ground vegetation. Recovery can exceed 90%.
Phos-Chek LC95 is available in red iron oxide (R), fugitive (F) color, and uncolored (W). The fugitive color maintains visibility during application, but slowly fades after exposure to sunlight. LC95A-R is available as low viscosity or medium viscosity. Medium viscosity is ideal for higher altitude drops or where higher coverage levels are desired. LC95A-Fx provides ultra-high visibility when dropped, but slowly fades after exposure to sunlight.
Uncolored Phos-Chek LC95W is ideal for ground application where color is not required or is undesirable.

Blue Gold : The Global Water |
World Bank and Multinational by Maude Barlow |
Maude Barlow is the
Council of Canadians
Chair, IFG Committee on the
Globalization of Water
This is an excerpt of the revised edition
of this article published Spring, 2001
"The wars of the next century will
be about water."
Ismail Serageldin,
Vice-President of the World Bank
We'd like to believe there's an infinite supply of water on the planet. But the assumption is tragically false. Available fresh water amounts to less than one-half of one percent of all the water on earth. The rest is sea water, or is frozen in the polar ice. Fresh water is renewable only by rainfall, at the rate of 40,000 to 50,000 cubic kilometres per year. Due to intensive urbanization, deforestation, water diversion and industrial farming, however, even this small finite source of fresh water is disappearing with the drying of the earth's surface; if present trends persist, the water in all river basins on every continent could steadily be depleted.
Global consumption of water is doubling every 20 years, more than twice the rate of human population growth. According to the United Nations, more than one billion people on earth already lack access to fresh drinking water. If current trends persist, by 2025 the demand for fresh water is expected to rise to 56 percent more than the amount that is currently available.
As the water crisis intensifies, governments around the world - under pressure from transnational corporations - are advocating a radical solution: the privatization, commodification and mass diversion of water.
Proponents say that such a system is the only way to distribute water to the world's thirsty. But, in fact, experience shows that selling water on the open market does not address the needs of poor, thirsty people. On the contrary, privatized water is delivered to those who can pay for it, such as wealthy cities and individuals and water-intensive industries, like agriculture and high-tech. As one resident of the high desert in New Mexico observed after his community's water had been diverted for use by the high-tech industry: "Water flows uphill to money."
The push to commodify water comes at a time when the social, political and economic impacts of water scarcity are rapidly becoming a destabilizing force, with water-related conflicts springing up around the globe. For example, Malaysia, which supplies about half of Singapore's water, threatened to cut off that supply in 1997 after Singapore criticized its government policies. In Africa, relations between Botswana and Namibia have been severely strained by Namibian plans to construct a pipeline to divert water from the shared Okavango River to eastern Namibia.
The Mayor of Mexico city has predicted a war in the Mexican Valley in the foreseeable future if a solution to his city's water crisis is not found soon. Much has been written about the potential for water wars in the Middle East, where water resources are severely limited. The late King Hussein of Jordan once said the only thing he would go to war with Israel over was water because Israel controls Jordan's water supply.
Meanwhile, the future of one of the earth's most vital resources is being determined by those who profit from its overuse and abuse. A handful of transnational corporations, backed by the World Bank, are aggressively taking over the management of public water services in developing countries, dramatically raising the price of water to the local residents and profiting from the Third World's desperate search for solutions to the water crisis. The agenda is clear: water should be treated like any other tradable good, with its use determined by market principles.
At the same time, governments are signing away their control over domestic water supplies by participating in trade agreements such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA); its successor, the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA); and the World Trade Organization (WTO). These global trade institutions effectively give transnational corporations unprecedented access to the water of signatory countries.
Already, corporations have started to sue governments in order to gain access to domestic water sources. For example, Sun Belt, a California company, is suing the government of Canada under NAFTA because British Columbia (B.C.) banned water exports several years ago. The company claims that B.C.'s law violates several NAFTA-based investor rights and therefore is claiming US$10 billion in compensation for lost profits.
With the protection of these international trade agreements, companies are setting their sights on the mass transport of bulk water by diversion and by supertanker. Several companies are developing technology whereby large quantities of fresh water would be loaded into huge sealed bags and towed across the ocean for sale. Selling water to the highest bidder will only exacerbate the worst impacts of the world water crisis.
A number of key research and environmental organizations such as Worldwatch Institute, World Resources Institute and the United Nations Environment Program have been sounding the alarm for well over a decade: If water usage continues to increase at current rates, the results will be devastating for the earth and its inhabitants. Groups such as the International Rivers Network, Greenpeace, Clean Waters Network, Sierra Club and Friends of the Earth International, along with thousands of community groups around the world, are fighting the construction of new dams, reclaiming damaged rivers and wetlands, confronting industry over contamination of water systems, and protecting whales and other aquatic species from hunting and
over fishing. In a number of countries, experts have come up with some exciting and creative solutions to these problems.
This work is crucial, yet such efforts need to be coordinated and understood in the broader context of economic globalization and its role in promoting privatization and commodification.
Who owns water? Should anyone? Should it be privatized? What rights do transnational corporations have to buy water systems? Should it be traded as a commodity in the open market? What laws do we need to protect water? What is the role of government? How do those in water-rich countries share with those in water-poor countries? Who is the custodian for nature's lifeblood? How do ordinary citizens become involved in this process?
The analysis and the recommendations in this report are based on the principle that water is part of the earth's heritage and must be preserved in the public domain for all time and protected by strong local, national and international law. At stake is the whole notion of "the commons," the idea that through our public institutions we recognize a shared human and natural heritage to be preserved for future generations. Local communities must be the watchdogs of our waterways and must establish principles that oversee the use of this precious resource.
Instead of allowing this vital resource to become a commodity sold to the highest bidder, we believe that access to clean water for basic needs is a fundamental human right. Each generation must ensure that the abundance and quality of water is not diminished as a result of its activities. Great efforts must be made to restore the health of aquatic ecosystems that have already been degraded as well as to protect others from harm.
Above all, we need to radically restructure our societies and lifestyles in order to reverse the drying of the earth's surface and learn to live within the watershed ecosystems that were created to sustain life. And we must abandon the specious notion that we can carelessly abuse the world's precious water sources because, somehow, technology will come to the rescue. There is no technological "fix" for a planet depleted of water.

THE CANISUS HIGH SCHOOL OF BUFFALO NY per City of Buffalo Property Information
NYS Corporation and Business Entity Database
Physical Description
The mansion was built in Jacobean Revival and English Tudor style. Two classroom wings have been added, as well as an auditorium that had the largest continuous, free-spanning balcony in the United States at the time of its construction.
Current Condition
In use. Recent additions include a new fieldhouse and academic wing.

- 1924 - The Rand residence is sold to the Masons, who converted it into the Buffalo Masonic Consistory. The Masons made several additions to the building, including a large marble foyer, a pool, Turkish baths, bowling alleys, locker rooms, and a 6,000 seat auditorium. This construction was designed by Buffalo City Hall chief architect John Wade.
- 1928 - The high school received an independent charter, completing its separation from the College.
- 1938-1940 - The 6,000 seat Mason auditorium was used as home to musical performances like the Buffalo Philharmonic when the Elmwood Music Hall was demolished, until Kleinhans Music Hall was built.
- 1944 - The Jesuits purchased the former Masonic Consistory for $92,000, which in turn had incorporated the former George F. Rand mansion, at 1180 Delaware Avenue.
- 1948 - After 4 years of being split between locations, the entire school was now located on Delaware.

Other Pertinent Facts
Every student at Canisius is involved in a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum. Because of its academic rigor and the fact that its diploma requirements exceed those of the state of New York, Canisius is one of only four Western New York secondary schools exempt from New York State's Regents Examinations.

Dorothy walked east, her feet quick against the paving stones, tap tap tap. She heard laughter from the local pub, a wash of male voices. She felt focussed; this wasn't the usual blue that cloaked her in sad, it was sharper, heightened. She could taste smoke curling from a chimney top, smell the wood that burned in an unseen hearth. Her fingers brushed warm brickwork, its roughness a satisfaction. Somewhere a dog barked, a woman called a boys name.
Her lover had a portrait of his wife atop his piano. Dorothy had stared at it as his fingers ran over keys and created music that ached. A big boned, fair haired wife. Germanic. He worried; a neighbour may have noticed Dorothy's frequent visits and be ready with do-gooder gossip. He paced as Dorothy soothed. She would do anything for him.
Dorothy was heading for the river where she pictured a cleansing, a baptism. Redemption in the depths. It seemed too easy. She switched direction and headed west along a path where nettles clumped in stinging green. Past the allotments. Her hat slipped forwards and she stopped to adjust it, patted her pocket checking for the note, tipped a stone from her shoe. A short way along she removed both shoes and tossed them behind her. Walking in stockinged feet she inched down the embankment and onto the tracks. She lay on the rails.

Right now, the headlines revolve around the most recent shooting of a black man by a member of law enforcement in Charlotte, N.C. Overnight, the family of Keith Lamont Scott were privately shown two police videos of Scott's shooting, along with their attorney, Justin Bamberg. After the viewing, Bamberg reported that "it is impossible to discern from the videos what, if anything, Mr. Scott is holding in his hands."
This only aggravates an already tense situation in the city, which has already witnessed a second shooting death of a black man. Justin Carr, 26, died of gunshot wounds he sustained during protests Tuesday night. A short time ago, police arrested another protester who has been charged with the shooting:
[T]here's a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately.
Since Obama hurled down that contentious gauntlet, the narrative has gradually been amped up by liberal politicians and the mainstream meida into the charge that blacks are killed by law enforcement disproportionately. But are they? Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute has researched the matter using government-supplied data and determined that historically whites and Hispanics are killed by police at three times the rate of blacks. Some will argue that that still represents a disparity since blacks make up only 12% of the population, but that argument conveniently overlooks the disproportionately high rate of crimes committed by blacks.
Blacks are not the only group on which liberals, in government and out, have conferred "victim" status. They have done the same with Muslims, who now freely interpret any adversity, including run-ins with the community at large, as "Islamophobic."
Witness the events unfolding in Yonkers, N.Y., a suburb of New York City, where a Muslim group acquired an 108-year-old house with designs on converting it into a masjid, an Arabic word for mosque. The house, shown below, is an elegant old mansion whose "distinctive features include fieldstone walls, half-timbering, stucco and a large turret tower."

The anatomy of a fraud is an interdependent process that ends up victimizing people and organizations.
Fraud is defined as "any intentional or deliberate act to deprive another of property or money by guile, deception, or other unfair means" by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners.
How does fraud work?
While people tend to think of individuals getting defrauded, fraud against a company is also common. Insider fraudsters commit fraud in the workplace and on the job while criminals, customers and third-parties commit fraud from the outside.
What does fraud cost?
The typical organization is generally advised to budget 5% of its revenues to fraud each year.
The 2016 Identity Fraud Study by Javelin showed that the number of identity fraud victims increased by 3% to 13.1 million consumers in the U.S. last year; and the amount stolen was $15 billion.
The LexisNexis True Cost of Fraud study showed that every dollar lost to fraud cost merchants $2.40, up from $2.23 a year ago.
How is data stolen?
First Step: Criminals collect confidential information in different ways. Online, they use websites, social media pages, etc. Dumpster divers physically steal information. Insider fraudsters physically steal information in the workplace, they use visual hacking strategies, and access files in computers.
Determining the Victim: Criminals study stolen data to determine if there is enough to target one victim or victim organization. The criteria includes by the volume of information, how easy a target might be, and potential financial return.
Rounding out a Stolen Identify: If there's not enough information, the criminal uses other collection strategies. For example, social engineering involves tricking people into breaking security procedures – and mistakenly providing information or downloading malicious software. In a phishing scam, criminals pretend they are legitimate organizations and mail or phone to obtain more information.
Identifying Holes: Criminals will identify points of weakness in an organization or computer system. In the 2016 Global Fraud Study, a lack of internal controls contributed to fraud most (it was cited in 29.3% of cases). The next weak spot was being able to override existing internal controls.
The Fraud: The fraudster will finally be ready to attack (it can take weeks or years even). The most common types of fraud are identity theft (opening accounts fraudulently, taking over existing accounts, etc.) Dishonest vendors might bill the company for goods or services not provided. Dishonest customers might submit bad checks or falsified account information for payment.
The following safeguards support fraud prevention in the workplace.
Do you know where fraud is most likely to occur in the workplace? Find out the 5 most likely areas – and how to better protect your organization.

Vasque M-Finity
Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
Free Shipping. Vasque Men's M-finity Boot (Spring 2007) The M-finity Boot by Vasque is the boot for mixed/ice climbing and fast and light alpine ascents. Kevlar upper, waterproof/breathable lining, 200gm of Thinsulate, and an insulated carbon fiber lasting board make this an extremely nimble and warm boot. Speed lacing allows you to dial in the ideal fit. Perfect for your next foray into the cold and steep. Weight: 3 lbs 8 oz (mens 9) [1590 g] Upper: Split Leather Leather Upper: Kevlar/Nylon Fabric, Tec Tuff Fabric Insole: Carbon Fiber Midsole: EVA Outsole: Vibram Kommandos Outsole Lining: Drilex Footbed: Insulated Other: Gemini Double Tongue; Rubber toe Rand; Padded Collar; Crampon Compatible; Waterproof

For steep ice climbs, hard mixed routes, and general winter nastiness, the Vasque M-Finity Mountaineering Boots are at the top of their game. Thanks to waterproof Kevlar uppers and full-length carbon fiber shanks, the M-Finity Mountaineering Boots weigh only 4lb 4oz (size 9) and provide precision control on steep ice. It's hard to climb well when your feet are frozen, so Vasque gave these boots 400g of Thinsulate insulation to keep your feet toasty. When the next pitch calls for precision footwork on thin ice and steep rock, lace up the M-Finity.

Netflix To Get All 8 Seasons Of Dexter
Netflix has made a deal with CBS to have every season of Dexter added to the streaming service. The first four seasons will be available starting October 31 and seasons 5-8 will be available starting January 1st. The last episode of Dexter aired in September on CBS' Showtime.
"We're thrilled to have Dexter, one of Showtime's highest-rated shows on Netflix, and so quickly after it completed its record-breaking run," stated Netflix's chief content head Ted Sarandos.
Notice how the show is debuting on Halloween? Not a bad day to debut a show on Netflix about a blood spatter pattern analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department that also has a secret life as a serial killer that hunts down criminals.

The theory and practice of the non-linear optics of silicon are inextricably linked with a variety of areas of solid state physics, particularly semiconductor physics. However, the current literature linking these fields is scattered across various sources and is lacking in depth. Second Order Non-linear Optics of Silicon and Silicon Nanostructures describes the physical properties of silicon as they apply to non-linear optics while also covering details of the physics of semiconductors.
The book contains six chapters that focus on:
The book also includes methodological problems and a significant amount of reference data. It not only reflects the current state of research but also provides a single, thorough source of introductory information for those who are becoming familiar with non-linear optics. Second Order Non-linear Optics of Silicon and Silicon Nanostructures is a valuable contribution to the fields of non-linear optics, semiconductor physics, and microelectronics, as well as a useful resource for a wide range of readers, from undergraduates to researchers.

Who stole my can of White Rain hairspray?
Who do I think I'm fooling---we all know it's an Alec Baldwin poster.
Pick me up for the dance at 6:45 sharp. Don't be late!
Ped Egg Update
Last night I sat on my bed for probably thirty minutes eating gummy worms, drinking a gin and tonic, watching a Saturday Night Live: Best of Alec Baldwin special, and using my Ped Egg to file the bottoms of my feet until they were the velvety soft texture I craved. (This was, quite possibly, the most exciting Tuesday night of my life.) Beauty Guru was correct---it is awesome. She had told me not to worry about the collected shavings looking like Parmesan cheese and she was right, again. The consistency was finer, more like dust or powder. Plus, even after all my filing my egg wasn't nearly as filled as the one in the advertisement below. Either that woman's pre-Ped Egg foot was similar to the back of an alligator, or she has been saving her foot shavings for quite some time. Whatever the case, I'm happy to say that the actual foot skin dumpage part of the process does not have nearly the gross out factor that the ad implies.
As embarrassing as it is to admit, my feet were looking kinda rough. Now they aren't. It's worth the ten bucks.
Monday, April 28, 2008
No I haven't bought it. Yet
I'm about to concede defeat though because of The Ped Egg:
When I first saw the commercial for The Ped Egg I thought, "Gross." But over time, and through the magic of marketing, I have become desensitized to the idea of having a container full of my used foot skin.
"Yep...it even worked on my husbands feet."

Weekly Update: Earth Week Edition
After my pig out I went book buying with my mom. There is a used book store that we found out about a few weeks ago that we've been wanting to go to. It's not your typical book store though. It's located in an industrial park and only open the second and fourth weekends of the month. Before I got there I was expecting it to be not very organized and almost like a warehouse. I was wrong. The building was divided off into little rooms and each room was a specific section. Most sections were even fairly well alphabetized. Because we had the kidlets with us, we weren't able to really spend as much time looking over everything as we would have liked, but I did quickly find "Diet for a Small Planet" in the Health and Nutrition section. I've had this book on my Powells.com wish list for over a year so being able to get it for only fifty cents was pretty exciting. The boy got some comic books and my mom got eight books for $7.00. I really hope to go back again soon, but without a nine year old boy constantly whining, "How much longer are we going to be here?"
One reason I'm excited about finally getting "Diet for a Small Planet" is that Jay and I want to institute one meat free day a week. Probably Meatless Monday---another idea stolen from the Publix Greenwise flyer. This probably isn't going to be too hard because other than relying too much on chicken, we don't eat a lot of meat to begin with. The tricky part is going to be sure that I have enough stuff on hand for a meat free day every Monday. Plus, I only have a few truly meat free meals in my repertoire so I need to do some research---which is where the book is going to come in handy since it's filled with vegetarian recipes. Meatless Monday is going to involve some planning ahead so we don't end up eating a lot of Honey Nut Cheerios and macaroni and cheese.
This update is already much less abbreviated than I had planned so I'm closing it out now. Before I go I want to apologize for using the term "Earth Week" in the title. I've been hearing it overused all week and it's starting to bug even me so I hated falling into the trap of using it myself. But what the hell...it fit.

The warm Florida weather is officially here
Ongoing Home Improvements
On the other side of those shutters is my ugly ass kitchen. The picture was taken from the family room. Everything on the family room side of the shutters is an addition that was added on to the house about ten years ago. Up until about five days ago, there used to be a window where there are now shutters. This window made sense ten years ago, when the kitchen looked out into the backyard. But now that it looks out into my family room, a window just seemed stupid and looked ugly. I've been wanting to do something about that window for a while but there were always more important things to be taken care of. Actually, there are still more important things to be taken care of. We just couldn't stand that window any longer.
Everyone we talked to said that removing a window is a breeze. We even had a fancy schmancy window guy* come out a few months back for an unrelated reason and he said that there are anywhere from 6-10 screws in the window frame, remove them and then out pops your window. Easy enough. Except of course, that the window is in our monster house where nothing is ever easy.
As Jay began the project, he soon learned that when the addition was built, the builder drywalled over the window frame. The frame couldn't just be popped out, because it was now in between two walls of our house. Jay had to remove hunks of our walls to get to the window, which then had to be cut out. Then he had to repair the wall, build a window sill, paint it, and then he could install the shutters.
A project we thought would take maybe a day, ended up taking almost a week to complete. But it was definitely worth it. I keep the shutters closed so that I don't have to look into ugly ass kitchen from the family room. Plus, if the sunlight hits them just right, I can sort of pretend I live in a beach house in the Hamptons. Sort of.
*When fancy schmancy window guy came out we were toying with the idea of replacing all the windows in the house with energy efficient ones. I naively thought this would cost about $1000 at the most. My number was off by about $10,000. Fancy schmancy window guy was sent on his merry way.

Happy Earth Day!
I first heard of Earth Day from one of my middle school teachers. Her name was Charlotte Garrigan and she was, in my eyes anyway, a hippie. She wore little makeup and she just seemed.....earthy. At that time, in the late 1980's, the cause was saving the whales. Miss Garrigan knew a lot about whales and sea life. Actually she knew a lot about environmental causes in general---before it was cool. I think that's why I liked her so much. She wasn't all talk and she wasn't full of shit. She knew her stuff and she lived it. I'm not naive enough to think that one person can clean up what we've done to this planet, but I think there is something to be said for just doing your part, however small it may be.
Our family has spent the last few days thinking of ways to do our small part. Last night we had tofu stir fry for dinner. Surprisingly, the kids liked it. Today's dinner will be a meat free pasta dish.
Jay rode his bike to work today and yesterday. Considering this is about ten miles round trip, I think he deserves a bit of applause.
I had planned on reducing the families carbon footprint a bit by not doing laundry today, but the chihuahua did something very bad and disgusting to the boy's comforter last night so unfortunately I have to do some laundry. And it will be in water that is extremely heated.
I honestly don't know if all my planet saving habits really make a difference. But I don't think there is anything wrong with having, and teaching your children to have, respect for the world around you.
Jay and I bought the above pint glasses at Urban Outfitters last year. Okay, the message is a little different than the one Miss Garrigan preached, but I still think of her every time I use one.

Farm to Family Music Festival
There was about half a dozen or so vendors selling snacks, baked goods, organic dishes, handmade clothes, and various other odds and ends. But there was no pressure or obligation to buy anything. We brought our own cooler and snacks, but my son still helped the vendors rake in a hefty profit by using the festival as a reason to eat non stop for the better part of six hours. He's a growing boy I guess.
Boy Eating
The musical acts were varied but all equally awesome. I've mentioned The String Kings before but never in great detail. They have a huge list of songs they play (see their website for full list). It's mostly classic rock but they throw in a lot of songs by more recent artists as well, like Jack Johnson. Vocally these guys are superb and the music is flawless. Plus they always look like they are having the best time. I can't say enough nice things about them. (And no my mom didn't pay me to say that.)
The String Kings (I have to apologize for not getting all theband members in the picture. All photos were
taken from the spot I kept warm on the grass.)
Another standout for me was Heather Mullins, who I believe is only sixteen. She accompanied performer Gary Noland for a while and then sang some songs on her own. This is certainly not a slam against all the great male musicians, but I have always been partial to a strong, female singing voice and this gal has one. She sang songs by Jewel and KT Tunstall, two artists I'm not overly fond of. But her voice was so pure and beautiful that I ended up loving her versions of the songs.
My dancing hippie girl
Our whole family really had a wonderful time. The atmosphere at the festival was so relaxed and positive that it was difficult to do anything but have a good time. I found myself doing things I don't normally do, like chatting with strangers or letting my kids run around without me following six inches behind them. I definitely do plan on going back, and I highly recommend anyone here locally to please check it out. The tickets were $10 for adults, kids get in free and it is well worth the price. Plus, you know that the money is going to a great cause---helping farmers and supporting local or unsigned musical acts. What could be a more worthy cause?
The girl and her new friend.

Weekly Update
With that, I suppose that's all that is worth mentioning in this update.
Missing Persons
All these years I've never been certain if I created Fugsy on my own or if he is just a little-known cartoon character that for some reason made an impression on me. It's hard for me to believe that I made up the name Fugsy Megaton on my own. Plus, I was also friendly with The Great Gazoo from the Flintstones, so the possibility of me attaching myself to a cartoon character is completely within reason.
Over the years I've done numerous Internet searches of the name Fugsy Megaton and nothing comes up at all. It's sort of sad really. I would love to know how he is doing.
When my son was younger he also had an imaginary friend. (Lucky boy inheriting moms weirdness.) At the time, his favorite show was a hopelessly stupid cartoon called "Ed, Edd, and Eddy." One of the characters was a weird little kid named Johnny that carried around a piece of wood with a drawn on face. His name was Plank. When Jay installed wood floors in our house, it occurred to the boy that he could have his own Plank. For about a year, Plank went everywhere with us. We are probably the only homeowners to ever get compliments on our floor from people who had never been in our house. Eventually the boy began to prefer the company of real people and Plank got discarded.
My daughter has yet to show any signs of having an imaginary friend. Or maybe she has had some but scared them off. She can be mean. A few months back Jay and I were listening to a conversation her dolls were having. It went something like this:
Doll One (who appears to be in some sort of peril): "Help me! Help me!"
Doll Two: "No thank you."
I guess I should be thankful she was polite about it.
Ultimately, I really don't think there is anything abnormal or unhealthy about having imaginary friends. I'm still going to do the occasional Google search for Fugsy. If anyone finds him, please send him my way. I still love a man in a suit and tie.
Saturday, April 12, 2008
But of course, being the person that I am (a gal with apparently too much time on her hands), I went to the website. The people at Octodog claim that their product is "a new, unique way to make your hot dog" and that "The kids will love them." Well there is a reason to buy it right there!! Because I was having all this trouble getting my kids to eat their hot dogs. They are over here gobbling up asparagus and broccoli left and right but leaving these greasy hot dogs completely untouched. I'm getting worried because their nitrate levels are getting dangerously low.
Oh, and it's $16.95. Seriously, I couldn't justify this purchase in a million years. Lets just say I were to buy it, how many times would I possibly use it? Maybe twice. Maybe. On the rare occasion that hot dogs are in our house, I serve them because they are quick and easy. I can nuke it in the microwave for 30 seconds and poof! lunch. If I'm having the kind of day where I choose to work in a thirty second lunch, do you really think I am then going to take the time to fashion said lunch into a sea critter? Probably not.

Answer: Seventeen
17Jay could only take 15. He insists my number is higher because I have no qualms about resorting to fighting dirty--hair pulling, eye gouging, nut kicking, etc.. He is correct because fighting dirty would probably be my first line of defense, even against a five year old. I gotta do what I gotta do.

These are a few of my Favorite things.....
(Note: Sarah Michelle Gellar not included in list of things I love, but to be fair she doesn't piss me off that much.)
7. The graphic novel. I was introduced late in the game to the beauty of the graphic novel. Which is a shame because I'm just now realizing how indispensable they are, especially when it comes to my goal of reading fifty books in a year. My first graphic novels were the Persepolis series and since then I am always on the lookout for more and more. They are easy to read, even when the reading is constantly being interrupted by children.
8. Powells.com. Based in Portland Oregon, the Powells stores are my favorite place to shop for books. I love them because you can order used books as well as new. I love it when I go to the website thinking I'm going to have to spend $16.95 for a book and whoop! whoop! a used copy is available for $8.95. Saving money is fun.

Weekly Update
Weather permitting, we are having another garage sale this weekend. I used to be such a pack rat but, as I've mentioned before, I cannot save anything anymore. I hate clutter. It's almost to the point where it seems as if I have some type of anti-clutter mental illness. I constantly want to throw stuff away. If I'm given a gift with no real purpose, I begin to mentally calculate how long I have to keep it before it can be trashed without me seeming unappreciative. When I go over to peoples homes it takes all the willpower I have to keep from sorting all their useless junk into piles of things they want to keep, throw away, or sell. Then I find myself arguing with them in my head over the junk I want them to throw away. "I don't care if this was your Grandma's fine China...It's covered with six layers of dust. You don't need it!"
One of the reasons we are having a garage sale is that a few months back we acquired about a dozen or so boxes of books. The book store next to Jay's store was throwing out a lot of their clearance books that didn't sell. I don't understand this. I would assume they could have had some type of sidewalk sale and sold them for 25 cents a piece or something. Anything would be better than trashing them, but what do I know? Plus, I thought that when a bookseller threw a book away it had to be "stripped" (have the cover torn off). All these still have covers. Whatever. It was my gain because Jay brought them all home and I sorted through them like a kid in a candy store. Most of them were nothing I was interested in. (Such as Thong on Fire: An Urban Erotic Tale.....hmm, why did this one NOT SELL?) I did get a few I had been wanting to read, like The Glass Castle, but I have to get the rest out of here now. Thong on Fire has been taking up valuable space in my home now for far too long. Hopefully it will sell better in my driveway than it did in the bookstore. Keep your fingers crossed.
I took a personality/temperament test the other day on Keirsey.com. Normally I don't get real excited about these because I don't ever find them to be on target, but this one was so spot on it was scary. My personality type is that of a "Counselor." Which is described as, "The Counselor Idealists are abstract in thought and speech, cooperative in reaching their goals, and enterprising and attentive in their interpersonal roles. Counselors focus on human potentials, think in terms of ethical values, and come easily to decisions. The small number of this type (little more than 2 percent) is regrettable, since Counselors have an unusually strong desire to contribute to the welfare of others and genuinely enjoy helping their companions. Although Counselors tend to be private, sensitive people, and are not generally visible leaders, they nevertheless work quite intensely with those close to them, quietly exerting their influence behind the scenes with their families, friends, and colleagues. This type has great depth of personality; they are themselves complicated, and can understand and deal with complex issues and people." Interesting enough.....but what really caught my eye was the next paragraph, which began: "Counselors can be hard to get to know. They have an unusually rich inner life, but they are reserved and tend not to share their reactions except with those they trust. That's what really hit home, especially the part about having a "rich inner life."
This is something I've only admitted to a few people, but I have a whole other life going on in my head that the rest of you people don't know about and are not invited to. I have no desire to give away all the details of my fantasy life, but I'll tell you what it doesn't include. There are rarely children in this world, and if they are there, they are quiet and with someone else. There are no bills. I have an endless supply of money, can do whatever I want and come and go as I please without having to worry about how others are effected. Sometimes there is even no husband there. Usually the cast of characters is completely different than the ones that show up in my day to day life. I'm sure this sounds crazy and that I probably appear psychotic, but on the contrary I think this is what keeps me sane. As my friend Dawn said, "It breaks up the monotony." I guess problems could occur if I only wanted to live in the world in my head. But, for now anyway, reality has certain advantages. (And before anyone calls me crazy, I can think of a few people who regularly read this who probably fall into the same category---you know who you are. We are more common than you would think. :)
Well I should probably go. It's Spring Break here so I need to go make some half hearted attempt at spending time with the children. I'm sure I will be in another world while doing so.
Oh, before I do go I would like to do some promo for an only-known-through-the-web friend. Chez is releasing his memoir through his website today. Click the deusexmalcontent link to the right if you are interested.
