There was a cloudy sky that day in the Russian countryside. I’ll never forget that train ride from St. Petersburg on its way to Moscow with the villages passing by. It felt as if they were moving, not the train. The occasional sway to the left or to the right reminded me that I was on a train,...
Look at the ages. 19. 20. 22. 25. 34. 28. 19. Today a female suicide bomber killed 40 or so people. It is an unwanted occupation. We will win when our men and women come home. 20-June1One Soldier was killed and five wounded in three roadside bomb attacks on Coalition force patrols in Diyala province...

I have a confession to make. It's a terrible, embarrassing confession for anyone who's a Druid or any kind of Celtic Pagan. Please don't judge me, I can't help myself. Here it is: I don't celebrate the goddess Brigid at Imbolc. Ever since I first became interested in Druidry and Celtic Neopaganism,...
Info about Beau Dozier Of course, we would not be talking about Brady if he did not have the skills of an All-Pro. As one of the NFL's most efficient and intelligent quarterbacks, he knows when to throw the ball deep, dump it off in the slot, or even run with it. Tom's two Super Bowl MVP awards are...
This bands debut single "The Trumpton Riots" from 1986 remains an all time favourite, whilst they never really went away they are once again somewhat back in the limelight with their new album with the great title "CSI:Ambleside" History The band's first single, "The Trumpton Riots", topped the...
Tonight's post is dedicated to favorites, and you can probably guess most of mine. Sports: Soccer and Baseball. Since we never had a TV when I was a kid, neither Daddy nor I watched sports on TV when I was growing up. As far as I know, Daddy never played a sport although I believe he did lift...
In 2003, the nation's favourite 100 books were documented. I hoped to have read quite a few/ the majority of them. I was disappointed, if I'm honest. Disapponted because I hadn't read most of them and disappointed because there were a large number I would never read (genre, author, boredom level,...
OK folks. Same deal: Bold for books I've read. Underlined for books I've read and loved. Italics for books I mean to read. Crossed through for books I have no intention of ever reading. Here goes: THE EDUCATION OF HENRY ADAMS by Henry Adams THE VARIETIES OF RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE by William James UP...
My list of things to accomplish this month.......... 1) I am going vegan! But if the cheese is too much of a temptation for me, than I shall turn vegetarian. Let's see how that goes. Goodbye Chick-fil-a and pepperoni pizza. I will sorely miss you. 2) I am teaching myself to play the piano! I bought...
Pilfered from thegirliscrazy on LJ: "The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed." 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Italicise those you intend to read. 3) Underline the books you LOVE. 4) Star the books whose movie you've seen...
The Ryan Ranch, also known as the Lost Horse Ranch was developed around 1895 by Thomas and Jep Ryan. Today some adobe walls still stand, stabilized by the park service. The story of the ranch, or more specifically the Lost Horse Mine, is pretty convoluted and involves a lot of the sort of deceit...
I read a lot, but sadly I guess I don't read enough of the classics. I was in Borders yesterday and realized I haven't read a lot of what high schools today consider "required reading." I have, however, read the Rock's autobiography, so I am well rounded in other ways. I at least did better than...

A friend recently posted asking for reading recommendations. In this time of all things baby, I could barely come up with two. For a girl with a degree in English that's shocking; I guess for a 9-months pregnant girl it's believeable. But interestingly enough I found the survey below, and I thought...
This is one I've been meaning to do for a while too, over on my fellow web design student's blog sorrowfulunfounded. The Big Read thinks the average adult has only read six of the top 100 books they’ve printed below. 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Italicize those you intend...

I'm copying from Atlantis.... Some of these books were amazing experiences for me... mostly from when I was growing up, and they were my entire world. This reads like a list of old favorites :-) Atlantis says that the average adult has only read six of the top 100 books The Big Read has printed...
