As I wrote in an email...

2009-05-26T17:33:00.003-05:00

The Prop 8 thing sucks. Big time. But, like election day, it's such a mixed bag today. I was listening to Obama introduce Sotomayor this AM. I got all choked up listening to the story of this soon-to-be Supreme Court justice who grew up in a public housing project, with her mother sacrificing everything for her & her brother's education. As I listened and cried a little, I was on my way to a Sit Stay Read rewards program where we give the kids cool stuff for reading all year. They are always so proud of themselves, and they should be. Sotomayor's nomination and life story give me great hope for our kids, some of Chicago's most disadvantaged.

So we move forward. One day Sotomayor will be in the Court that finally says that denying a gay and lesbian citizen the right to marry the one we love is unconstitutional. I again quote Tony Kushner, from the last scene of Angels in America, "We are not going away... The world only spins forward. We will be citizens. The time has come."

Incredible Column

Roger Ebert doesn't blog, he is keeping a public journal online. And his most recent entry really validates the quote from Rachel Naomi Remen that, "the view from the edge of life is so much clearer." I feel like I need to read it a hundred times to begin to grasp the depth and importance of his perspective, wishing for just a quick glimpse of his spectacular view.

Happy Mother's Day!

Wow. Sometimes it's easy to hate the internet, but here's a reason to love it, courtesy of Flickr blog. A woman just north of Nashville has been posting photos of Bluebird nests for a few years. They are wonderful Spring viewing. Check them out.

New Favorite Cartoon!

2009-04-02T07:10:00.005-05:00

Up way too early today. Thesis worries, I guess. Upside: I discovered an awesome cartoon on PBS called "Word Girl." Today's words: articulate and rambling.

Finally, a heroine for word geeks! Can't wait to discuss Word Girl with my niece & nephew, maybe later today!

New Cartoon

2009-03-30T11:23:00.002-05:00

Well, new in a "from the archive" kinda way. Topical, at least, I hope: "Spring Cleaning." Go to www.comicnurse.com and click on Artwork, then Cartoons. Enjoy.

Found out last week that I have three full weeks less than originally thought to finish my thesis if I want to graduate in June. And I want to graduate in June.

It's crunch time.

Spring Break

2009-03-22T10:48:00.003-05:00

In college, spring break is a time to take a fun trip. In graduate school, it's a time to spring clean. Also to feel overwhelmed by work yet to be done...

But I deal with anxiety by distracting myself, so look! I stumbled across the birthday cake to end all birthday cakes!

I'm back!

2009-03-13T12:03:00.010-05:00

I apologize to anyone who switched over - please switch back!!! Though Apple's iWeb blog is attractive, my experiment with it ultimately failed. Again. There are just too many great features on Blogger that iWeb doesn't yet offer. (Take note Apple developers!) Here are a few:
-search engine inclusion of Blogger entries
-direct linking of posts to my Facebook account
-ability to directly blog photos from Flickr
-most important of all, as pointed out by Comic Nurse loyalist MaryEllen of Shandy's Blog, no comments! I want to hear what you think when you read my posts!

So here's what you might have missed. Sit Stay Read dog of the year 2008 was presented with his portrait at the annual Westminster Dog Show gala, Best in Show. He was far more interested in the food being served at the event than his portrait, but guardian Rob seemed pleased. Additional photos here. Be sure to look for Dog of the Year 2009 winner Bonnie! It's going to be a great year for Rocky and our kids learning to read.

Next, the interview at Radio Disney was aired and it was great. I'd like to link to it but Disney doesn't roll like that. Suffice it to say it was seriously perky. And fun. One more thing to update, but I'm going to do that in a separate post. Thanks for coming back and I promise to stay right here.
