California Dutch: July 2012
http://cadutch.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
This is the blog that's all about one California girl becoming Dutch. Monday, July 30, 2012. They All Look Like That. About time Holland got world-wide props on the front page of Yahoo's "news" site! For having the most attractive team at the Olympics:. It's true. Google them sometime. The odd thing is that in Holland, these are fairly typical young women. The country is overflowing with attractive blondes. Dime a dozen, even. OK I'm an utter failure at "becoming Dutch" in this category. But hey! Last Th...

California Dutch: June 2014
http://cadutch.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
This is the blog that's all about one California girl becoming Dutch. Tuesday, June 10, 2014. Polar Bears in Holland. And the Dutch word for pacing is "polar bear." That's used as a verb of course. What the, who the, hunh? Ze ijsbeert door de wachtkamer. She polar-bears through the waiting room. [She paced in the waiting room. (Dutch story-telling is typically cast in the present tense, so tenses often have to be shifted for proper translation.)]. Weird, wonderful, Dutch. :). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Daily Wot: March 2012
http://dailywot.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Wot-ness from around the planet. Daily Wot isn't daily. Unless it wants to be. Have wot-ness to share? There was an error in this gadget. Friday, March 9, 2012. The next time you are in a room with more than 2 women of childbearing age (this may not happen frequently for some of you), look right, look left, look forward: it is extremely likely that one of the three women in the room has had an abortion. Is that really the way children should come into the world? Contraception is HER job. (Except that...

Daily Wot: May 2012

Wot-ness from around the planet. Daily Wot isn't daily. Unless it wants to be. Have wot-ness to share? There was an error in this gadget. Thursday, May 24, 2012. Today's blog probably belongs on "WTH" (wherever that may be) rather than on the Daily Wot. At any rate:. Austerity. It's the present in some parts of Europe. It's a subtle present and less-subtle future in the US. What's it mean? Humanity. Now why would people protest or fight against that? Socialism. For our less-politically-savvy friends,...

I Didn't Sleep Last Night. I was up almost all night last night. "Why? Why was I awake almost all night? Why, every time I closed my eyes, did they snap open? Why were there horrible images in my head that I couldn't control?

If someone says, "A rose by any other name.," then anyone decently read has the Shakespeare bell go off immediately. When we watch ten different news anchors parrot a phrase like, "Muslim seminary," we know that writer of The Memo is speaking. So who's writing the script? Has The Memo spread? It goes a little ...

California Dutch: The S-word
http://cadutch.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-s-word.html
This is the blog that's all about one California girl becoming Dutch. Friday, August 29, 2014. Some time ago, I was having a conversation with two friends about Zwarte Piet, because they had broached the subject. It's not something I would ever bring up, but the Dutch do not avoid difficult topics. Carefully couching a statement in words that will not be offensive is called "being political," and, as far as I can tell, is considered insulting. Zwarte Pieten are the companions to Sinterklaas. Four hundred...
