Brrr

It's cold outside. Actually it's cold inside as well, at least here in the lobby of the tower. Our building engineer worked on the heat today and there is at least a slight detectable warming of the air, or maybe it would be more accurate to say a lessening of the bitter cold! It's 41 degrees outside and windy... brr. I did notice the other day that Father Hollywood was talking about the Sneaux! they got and about how seldom it snows in New Orleans. I checked it out and it snows twice in New Orleans for each time it snows in San Francisco. That doesn't stop it from getting cold here though, really we're suffering here...

I keep looking to the hills and expecting to see white but so far nothing. How can it be so cold and still not snow? Humph.

The weather service says it will be down into the 20's tonight, so if we do get any precipitation it will be snow. Yay... actually "ACK!"

    I'm wondering if ripping up the carpets this year was a good thing....

    Yeah, no allergies. But man, I have NEVER put the heat on so much in all my years out West!!

    Keep baking cookies, it helps!

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...
