The earth will be well positioned to see the spectacle of the Perseid Meteor showers tonight. According to the NASA website, we may be able to see as many as two a minute. That’s assuming, of course, that we live in a place that still has sky.
Even in my little coastal town, it’s [...]

Does this ever happen to you?
You’re going along fine for quite some time - a long time, really. Things are going well, you feel good about life, everything is okey-dokey. There are no major problems, you find decent parking spaces, your health is holding - life, in short, is pretty damned good.
Then, for [...]

My best friend, Bowyer, has gone through a lot in the last few years, not the least of which being the demise of his nearly ten year marriage. While the dissolution of a marriage is never a happy thing, I do think that, in this case, it was the best thing; neither of them [...]

I’d have gotten a pretty good night’s sleep last night, except that, somewhere right around the dead of it, a little bat managed to get itself caught between the barely-open bathroom window and the screen.

We went to see the Air Force Band of Liberty this evening. The weather held, which was no small thing; it was pouring as we made our way to the show, which is in a park in the smallish city to our south, and we were concerned that [...]

Ten of my favorite yoga poses!
Warrior 3. This is a standing balance pose. To get my class into it, I ask them to put their feet about two fists’ distance apart and exhale as they bend at the hip, keeping their backs flat, until their chests are parallel to the floor. Then, [...]

Mr. Chili, Bowyer and I went to see The Bourne Ultimatum on Saturday night. We enjoyed the film very much, but I say that with a caveat.
We’ve begun to notice a trend in modern film making - something that we’ve not really seen much before, say, about five or so years ago. I [...]

Kwizgiver tagged me for the middle name meme (though, according to her blog post, I wasn’t targeted, but she told me in a comment that I was, so I’m doing it). Here goes:
1. You have to post these rules before you give the facts.
2. Players, you must list one fact that is somehow relevant [...]

The last of this week’s Boston-themed posts. This quiz didn’t require any fiddling on my part to come up this way; I really do belong here, even if my accent no longer gives me away.
Happy Saturday everyone!
You Are Boston
Both modern and old school, you never forget your roots.
Well educated and a little snobby, you demand [...]
