I’ve loved Thomas Lynch for some years now, so I’m definitely recording this program tonight.
Lynch is an appropriate subject for both Halloween season and the PBS and NPR lovers among us. As the third-generation funeral director in a small Michigan town, and as a single father and poet, Lynch wrote several critically […]

Sometimes Living On Campus is Awesome
Published October 27th, 2007 in Holidays, Humor and Suburbia. 0 CommentsLate last night I stepped out on the front porch for a smoke and heard what sounded like a mob coming down the street at my house. A group of a dozen students rounded the corner in their Halloween costumes, tanked, encouraging one another’s drunk asses that they were almost home. I watched […]
This one might even be better than the original.
Hat tip to Annie.
Yeah, it’s Homecoming Weekend, but what’s up with the fireworks?

Published October 26th, 2007 in Education, Suburbia and Work. 20 CommentsLa Lubu, guest blogging at Feministe for the week, has two fantastic posts up that have kicked me in the ass and all over the field. In Intersecting Identities she has basically laid out my lack of interest in blogging and political activism over the last couple of years and why it’s so hard […]
For several days I’ve been trying to write why I have my head in a hole. Twisty covered it in so many words.
While I’ve been MIA I have picked up some crafting again. The other night I spent several hours making a bouquet of kitschy flowers out of patterned scrapbooking paper. Later I sewed together a plush owl out of crafting felt and filled it with catnip. The kitties are very appreciative. Tonight […]
Knowing all the good, tolerant Christians that I do, it’s really a shame to stumble on a story like this one:
A woman who sent her Arab-American boss a threatening note that warned “Remember 9/11″ and “You and your kids will pay” was sentenced Wednesday to eight months in a federal halfway house.

Adventures in Naming
Published October 17th, 2007 in Chef, Feminism, Health and Suburbia. 7 CommentsNow that Chef and I are legal, I had him added to my work insurance policy (aren’t I sweet?). Working in a small local restaurant, he’s unlikely to ever have the option of buying into a work-related plan, and dog knows we’ll never be able to afford private coverage. The truth is that […]
