Guilt Post

Now that I have invited some people to actually read my blog I am feeling the pressure to actually write something down, even when nothing has popped into my head so far today! The purpose of this post is to tell all of my many readers, all two of you :-), that I may not post each and every day. I sometimes post several days in a row and then skip a week or even more if the urge is not there. Just know it is a sometime thing and not an every day thing.

Today in Dublin it is supposed to be over 100 degrees, this is only our second hot spell of the summer so we can't really complain.

Weather for the next 5 days:

On days like this I stay home and huddle under the air conditioning :0 By Friday I'll feel safe going outdoors again though so I may take the opportunity then of going on a nice long bike ride by myself. Going with Serenity or Lora is fun but I don't get very much exercise at 6 year old speeds.

That is it for this morning, I'll post more later if the urge strikes, for now I need to wake up Serenity and take her to school.

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome

The Tea Parties

I didn't make our local Tea Party , but it pulled hundreds of people as well... Tea, anyone? from Father Hollywood by Father Hollywood Like hundreds of thousands of other Americans, the Hollywoods enjoyed a tea party this past Wednesday. "Tea party" (wink wink). Nothing subversive about sipping a little Darjeeling, eh wot? Nothing to see here, Miss Napolitano. Anyway, our local festivities were held at Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Metairie. There were literally thousands of people crammed into the neutral ground (though on that day, the ground was anything but...), as cars and trucks poured by the busy boulevard laing on their horns in support. Here are pictures. And like every such gathering in our environs, there was even a brass band and an improptu "second line" parade. It was a "party" after all. But it was a party with a serious reason. The crowds were so overwhelming that it was hard to hear the speakers, and unfortunately, we did have a fe...
