Monday, June 29, 2009. Watch Out for the Skunk. Madison's latest ballet was Hansel and Gretel. She worked very hard to learn her parts and as the veteran among her peers, was the de facto leader of her group. In Act I, as Hansel and Gretel are picking berries in the forest, they are ambushed by some woodland animals: a squirrel, a fawn, a bunny, a frog, a skunk and a porcupine. Madison is the skunk. These videos were taken with our little Canon pocket camera. So they're a bit shaky. Friday, June 26, 2009.

Wednesday, July 29, 2009. YouTube Gems - Flawless A Cappella. I love me some a cappella music. These guys are Slovenian, but you can hardly tell. Their English is fantastic. So is their Spanish. And their Portuguese. (I can't vouch for the other languages they sing.) It doesn't get any better than this. Speakers to full power, Mr. Sulu. Want to chime in? Leave a comment to further the discussion. Friday, July 24, 2009. Just Looking for a Fight. Tell me you haven't done this before:. To a Harvard director...

Ducheznee: Hurricane Karsten
http://www.ducheznee.com/2009/11/hurricane-karsten.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. I came home from a meeting several days ago and found the house a bit warm. When I unlocked and the opened the doors to the office it felt like the blast of heat you feel when entering a Costco in the wintertime. "Whoa! I shouted so that Sara would hear. "What happened in here? We both realized the answer at the same time - Karsten. He's also using the chairs to help himself to anything he wants in the fridge, freezer or pantries. But he is starting to throw things down the sta...

Thursday, December 17, 2009. I don't know what the precise conditions were that allowed for this. I know I've never seen anything like it before. These perfect specimens were very lightly blanketing the Jeep on the morning of Dec. 11th as I was taking Brookie to preschool. It was certainly cold enough to preserve these throughout the night. But why did they only barely stick to the windshield and not blow off? What was the window of time available for me to see this spectacle, and why was I so fortunate?

Sunday, March 28, 2010. Saturday, March 27th marked one of those very special events in life that are not easily forgotten. Like an incredible road trip, or a wedding, or the birth of a child, or witnessing something of historical significance. Such was the scene on this bright afternoon in early Spring when Ed and 200 guests gathered within the diffused light of the 4H Hall at the Canby Fairgrounds. Wayne Havrelly from KGW Newschannel 8 was there:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Recent Posts on Ducheznee.

Monday, August 31, 2009. Turns out there's a Category 4/5 hurricane in our general vicinity. It looks like Hurricane Jimena will pass by us without too much ado, but we're already feeling some of the side effects. The usual 2-4 foot waves out back are expected to possibly reach 12 feet tonight. Just in the last couple of hours they have grown to about 6 feet. It's going to be an especially noisy night. It also turns out that Google Earth can track hurricanes - I had no idea. Thursday, August 27, 2009.

Ducheznee: YouTube Gems - Bottle Kids Are Back
http://www.ducheznee.com/2009/12/youtube-gems-bottle-kids-are-back.html
Wednesday, December 9, 2009. YouTube Gems - Bottle Kids Are Back. I'm hopping mad right now about 'stuff' like global warming legislation, cap and trade, the fool that is Robert Gibbs, and the redirection of TARP loan repayments into bottomless cesspools instead of paying down the debt. Alas, I promised my fan that I would dramatically cut back on my politically-inspired ranting. Deep breath. Deep breath. Remember those kids that played the theme from Tetris on glass bottles?

Ducheznee: Hero - Joe Lieberman?
http://www.ducheznee.com/2009/11/hero-joe-lieberman.html
Monday, November 23, 2009. Hero - Joe Lieberman? The epic blunder that is the current push for health care reform managed to get one wheel off of the rails of self-destruction today, thanks to former Democratic Vice-Presidential nominee Joe Lieberman. Lieberman says that he will not vote for a bill that includes any possibility of a public option. Democrats are depending on Lieberman's vote to reach the filibuster-proof 60 votes it needs to pass whatever they want. Want to chime in? Hero - Joe Lieberman?

Ducheznee: Setting A Precedent
http://www.ducheznee.com/2009/11/setting-precedent.html
Wednesday, November 25, 2009. I found this article from Politico. Quite humorous and entertaining. While the press still has a very long way to go (south) with Obama before it reaches the same level of disdain with which it treated President Bush, this seems like a small step in the right direction. The author has done some research into some of the crazy claims that routinely come out of the White House and both corrects erroneous statements and puts them into perspective. More specifically, Obama's.
