Next week, Chattarati’s Weekly World Noog bureau chief Chad A. Newton will take a week-long look at VW’s move to Chattanooga.
Don’t miss “The Veekly Vorld Noog’s Veek of VW,” starting Monday, August 19!...
So apparently I don't know the difference between an EKG and an echocardiogram, and there is one. When I asked my midwife to order an EKG for me to be screened for Marfan-related heart issues, she happily did so. However,...
When I was a kid, there was a cistern room in the basement of my turn-of-the-century home. At one time, it was used to hold rainwater, but someone had long ago knocked a hole through the cistern wall to make...
Yesterday I was treated to a procedure for which I didn't think I'd have the pleasure til AT LEAST 50. Interestingly, the majority of people in my sphere--real life and make believe--have already had the procedure, and what they say...
For this week's Friday's 40-or-less Photo Challenge, a little something to knock you off balance. If this doesn't deserve a response, I don't know what does:
Yes, it's me (click the piccha for proof). I'm sorry...once you've endured the double-dreaded...
It’s only fitting that I devote the first real post on my new blog to the man who gave me my start…
In 1992, while I was still in high school, my journalism teacher, Frank Barron, (half) joked in class that...
The kids and I sat down for an early lunch this afternoon. It was an odd mix of leftovers. My daughter had a slice of pizza and some broccoli. My son had a PB&J and some strawberries and I had......
The most recent Freakonomics Quorum on NYTimes.com asked a panel this question: “What will U.S. suburbs look like in 40 years?” Their experts weighed in with thought-provoking and sometimes apocalyptic visions of suburbia’s future, which got us thinking about what...
It’s easy to heart/hate something. SJP and the Sex and the City Girls gave us ‘frienemies.’ The 80s gave us hair bands. And George Dubya gave us the US Constitution. (Though, to be fair, I suppose the hate equation of...
WASHINGTON August 14, 2008--White people will no longer make up a majority of Americans by 2042, according to new government projections. That's eight years sooner than previous estimates, made in 2004. The nation has been growing more diverse for decades, but...
Before relaying the results of my very impolite and invasive medical Pro-Cedure, I found myself waxing poetic to Laura's 15-words-or-less photograph. After missing several weeks, I had forgotten how much I enjoy this brevetic exercise (and yes, that's a totally...
Talking to my good friend Allison (humorette of last post), we were discussing being exhausted. As in, tired beyond to-the-bone, and no end in sight unless we drop something which, as overachieving twenty-somethings, we are loathe to do because tv...
"I think a lot of people of my generation have a fear of the very technology that they've benefitted from," confesses the poet Mary Jo Salter. "I know I do. I'm as addicted as anybody to my cell phone and...
for those of you who care and keep up with it, the picture server has gotten another major batch of pictures. We were able to dig up nearly 300 pics of Jen & Family from 'back in the day'...
My sweet Autumn Marie is coming into her own little person...She is growing so big and moving into that toddler creepy crawling stage so quickly.Keeping her stimulated enough during the day is becoming quite a challenge, but at least her...
This evening (Thursday, August 14) is the Barnard Astronomical Society meeting and I’m scheduled to give the main talk. My part starts at 8:30pm, but if you’re interested in coming, it’d probably be good to get there closer to 8:00. I’ll be...
