Owlhouse: buddy-up
http://owlhouseblog.blogspot.com/2008/02/big-decisions.html
Saturday, February 09, 2008. Polls in all but Alaska were closed Super Tuesday when I over overheard Aslin on the phone with my mom. I think they should buddy-up.". She went on with her wise words, no doubt exciting my mom with her political insight on the potential of a Clinton. Ukiah's holding judgment, unsure who might make the better leader, but assuring all that Obama is an impressive speaker. Aslin chimes in that she shook his hand. It's no help with the dress questions, but the fine folks at Fuse.

Owlhouse: sufferage
http://owlhouseblog.blogspot.com/2008/02/sufferage.html
Thursday, February 14, 2008. This is what democracy looks like. Dozens of classic yellow post-it notes tracking votes or maybe pledges. A woman with a baby on her back ticks names off a sign in sheet. She writes, scratches, counts and writes again. One sticky on top another, lining the ones, tens, hundreds columns. She counts in her head, on her fingers. It's Obama 4:1 and the baby doesn't cry. But what about experience? And all that was swept under the rug? Who can beat McCain? His dentures carved from ...

Owlhouse: we miss you
http://owlhouseblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/we-miss-you.html
Tuesday, September 23, 2008. Um It's been a while. We were going to call, write, tell you we were running late. But things come up. School, jobs, moves, seasons, pets, whatnot. But we're never stopped thinking of you, dear owlhouseblog. We wonder if you'll have us back? Nothing serious, no commitment, maybe we should just test the waters? Look, I was here! 9:41 AM, September 25, 2008. Do I count in the "we"? I've totally missed you! 2:35 PM, September 27, 2008. Uhm, yes. we want you back! But for now, ou...

Owlhouse: big ideas
http://owlhouseblog.blogspot.com/2008/02/big-ideas.html
Wednesday, February 06, 2008. Three cheers for Cheap Ass Games. With Monolopy money, Pokemon and Magic counters, pennies and nickels, and the ability to lobby endlessly, we've been enjoying our newest game. The day I draw "organic" and "paradise" in the same hand, is the day I invest heavily and bring in the 12-sided die. Labels: fun and games. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Join us for brunch. We'll plot the revolution over coffee and scones. Aslin, Ukiah, Brad and Nora. And mountain lion biology.

Owlhouse: that's better
http://owlhouseblog.blogspot.com/2008/02/thats-better.html
Monday, February 04, 2008. Shelved between roughly 3 dozen cookbooks, file folders marked with chocolate finger prints and olive oil gather dust. It's not because the magazine clippings and hand copied recipes are disorganized, never alphabetized into a binder, that I ignore their content. Maybe I'd find an identical cookie recipe in our ancient copy of Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book. But I bypass what I vaguely remember as tried and true as well as the would be better ifs. Labels: food and drink.

Owlhouse: lincoln...devo
http://owlhouseblog.blogspot.com/2008/02/lincolndevo.html
Monday, February 11, 2008. We haven't visited Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War. But Brad's thinking of taking the kids to living history. I sing just a little too loud and we pause Jocko Homo. For philosophical discussion on the evolution/de-evolution of society, government, industry and culture. And today, I love homeschooling. A victim of collision on the open sea. Nobody ever said that life was free. Sank, swam, go down with the ship. But use your freedom of choice. Your freedom of choice.

Owlhouse: communication
http://owlhouseblog.blogspot.com/2007/08/communication.html
Sunday, August 05, 2007. It's routine. "Double-tall americano, please." Barista follow-up questions can go one of two ways- room for cream? Or so, coffee with hot water? The kids at Cowboy Joe. Know their way around the espresso machine. A local art show, photos of rodeo highlights and downfalls, cattle in the basin complete the western. Feel Hang your jacket on the horseshoe rack, the patio out back is glowing warm before 9am. Along Idaho St., the visitor center at Sherman's Station. A church group held...

Owlhouse: Merry Christmas Eve
http://owlhouseblog.blogspot.com/2008/12/merry-christmas-eve.html
Wednesday, December 24, 2008. It's snowing here. Again. For about the 7th time in a week and a half. We have about a foot, with something between one-half and four inches predicted for today. Our buses haven't run since last Wednesday. Really. It snowed all day. Big beautiful flakes that Ukiah fell in love with. "This the snow I've always wanted," he explained. We ran giggling through alleys to friends' houses, played at the playground and of course, sledded to our hearts content. Wonder if it might be t...
