On spanking in Texas (and other red states)
By now, you’ve all heard about the girl in Texas who was spanked* by a male assistant principal until she was “burned and blistered”.
Putting aside the whole opposite-sex spanking issue, which others have covered pretty well**, what struck me most about the story when I saw it was this passing mention about which states …

Cousin Muszka, 1964 – 2012
I heard yesterday that my Cousin Muszka died Monday night. She leaves behind her partner; their 14 year-old daughter; her parents; and a large extended family.

The Power of Knit Night
You wouldn’t think that being in a place where one can knit and chat with other people who are knitting and chatting would feel so…renewing of the spirit, but it certainly was for me last night. No politics (or very little), no stress, just yarn and conversation.

“Obama opposes laws ‘designed to take rights away’”
Or so he said to The Blade about New Hampshire’s possible vote to repeal Marriage Equality there.
I’m glad he’s taken this stance.
Too bad he doesn’t stand with women against the record number of anti-choice (including anti-birth control) laws that were enacted last year. His silence on this has been deafening.

The ugly truth about doors
Is that this is what can happen if you’re not wearing the right shoes. And the uglier truth is, my cold-weather shoes are just not up for the job.
On Saturday, November 5, I wore my Land’s End fleece-lined mocs. Good for all normal purposes, these shoes were made for strolling, taking in the sights …

The worst day of the year
Tomorrow is election day and so, of course, my son will be staying overnight tonight with a babysitter so that Stevens and I can be at our volunteer posts at 0530 in the cold, dark morning.
We’ll be at our posts all day (with a short break to go to our own polling place to …
