Uneventful day today. Traffic seemed to be far worse than it should be for 0545am and the flares were already set up, so I knew it was bad mojo. The reason [www.washingtonpost.com] is enough to break your heart.
The Cocaine Blues, Johnny Cash's version from Folsom in 1968, is on permanent repeat in my head. Try singing about shooting your woman down, under your breath of course, around the wife and later the kid. It's not easy. Home early... err, on-time, from work to take the kiddo to Daisy Girl Scouts, wherein we learned about strong and courageous women. With so many to choose from, I was surprised to see Sybil Ludington, whose 40-mile ride, a la Paul Revere, featured a stick and horse named "Star", which has now come into our panoply of strong and courageous horses. Needless to say, since we beat the rain home, someone needed to pretend to ride a horse in the dark tonight. Having a 300-foot driveway occasionally has its advantages, although its usually against Missionaries and Trick-or-Treaters. I'll leave it to you, dear reader, to imagine the depths of darkness, miles from the nearest fire hydrant, here in bear country, along that driveway. I stood in the cold and watched her canter away toward the house, not so fond of the galloping in the dark, and wished from the bottom of my soul that we could freeze the moment. Can't and shouldn't, I guess, but I'll save it here, and you can share some too, plenty to go 'round.

The single hazard of having three little girls (beyond my prematurely-greying hair at the thought of boyfriends, tattoos, and weddings anyway... "live it three times, a special brand of torture!" But I digress...) is the profusion of stuff, all of it cute and prone to causing crippling foot injuries. These My Little Pony hair implements litter the house, no ponies in sight. Surely, a barn full of unkempt ponies, each with trademark comical head-twist and buggy anime' eyes, exists somewhere, poorly coiffed, bringing shame to the land of the ponies (Butterfly Island). "Tsk, tsk," cluck the elder ponies, "what dishevelment, such disorder among our youth." Young lips are curled in response, eyes roll throughout the herd, a couple of cigarettes are lit: "You old nags don't understand us! WTF LOL OMG! It's not like we have dreads. What. everrrr." Please, won't someone think of Daddy's feet!?!? Technorati Tag: My Little Pony Tags: blog on technorati, delicious, flickr, northerncrown Context: [Google Search]
Mileage numbers from our extended trip to Texas over the holidays. We were fully loaded coming and going with gifts and all that, plus the cargo carrier on top. Less than what I'd like, of course, but here they are:

Some berries which grow on a wickedly prickly thornbush. These grow along the driveway and are nearly the only color to be found these days, among the grays, browns, and black of the winter forest here on the Mountain.

I've started up a new blog, pwcitizen.org for coverage of local and regional issues and events. Those items have been posted here, but I'll be stopping that, although I'll continue to post other content here.
The new blog just starts today, so I'll be adding content as quickly as possible. Technorati Tag: Prince William County Tags: blog on technorati, delicious, flickr, northerncrown Context: [Google Search]
We're back, after having eaten our way across the South. 3,852 miles total. Back from the land of lift-kits and mascara. We saw aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, museums, monuments, hurricane damage, cherry cokes, barbecue, record high temperatures, and thankfully no snow. We had a picnic, in DECEMBER, at the foot of the San Jacinto Monument. We returned with 32 stuffed animals, no, not the taxidermy kind.
Some quotes from the trip, some unattributed to protect the identity of the accused: Me (waking up): Sweet Jesus! Technorati Tag: vacation Tags: blog on technorati, delicious, flickr, northerncrown Context: [Google Search]
