Sometimes Music and Poetry and a Few Photos are Worth Millions of Words

This just about sums up my feelings about the U.S. administration so eloquently and succinctly that it deserves spreading around. Sorry if the language is not suitable for certain environment… it is a flash slideshow with music, runs a few minutes. Worth every precious moment it takes to watch. FilmStripInternational Thanks Kate!

Marching Through Mud, oops, I mean Time

Saturday was wet and soggy, very soggy. We in La Belle Compagnie managed to have the camp mostly ready for public show only a little after opening hours despite the rain and many of us needing to catch-up and socialize a bit. I personally could not get motivated to pull out my armor and sword […]

Back from Windjammer Cruise

We got back from a fantastic Windjammer Cruise late last night. A brief log of the adventure follows… On Saturday the 18th we flew to St. Thomas and U.S. Airways lost one of our checked bags. We checked into the Galleon House B&B hours late because we waited in a line of 80 odd families […]

2006 General Elections Warming Up

The past several days have been exciting here in Virginia, at least for those of us following and planning to work in U.S. Senate and Congressional Election campaigns. Two days ago the races for Senator George Allen’s seat heated up as James Webb announced he would be will seek the Democratic nomination. Today I found […]

Travel Plans and Calendar

I am trying to figure out the right way to get certain parts of our travel plans published so that people can join us or make plans with us easier. I am stumbling around here, but I’ll try a post first, then figure out how to put it in my sidebar later. February 11th and […]

Daily Show on Blogs

I love Jon Stewart’s awesome show. Fun segment about blogs. It have to confess, I get about 65% of my news from blogs now as they are faster to publish and have more depth than anything on TV, Radio, and traditional newspapers! Accuracy still needs to be double checked and confirmed, but amazingly – the […]

President Bush’s Unique Opportunity to Make History

As much as I despise his horrible track record of poor leadership and dishonesty, I think we should try to connect with President Bush. He has a rare window of opportunity: 1) Essentially three years left to his term, and he knows he can’t be re-elected. 2) The public already disapproves of his administration. 3) […]

Reason Prevails in Virginia’s 33rd

I had to resort to blogs for my news because the so-called mainstream media simply are not covering this, not even the local stations for our local state senate race (they should have their broadcasting rights pulled, they are not doing their duty that comes from getting a slice of the public’s airwaves). As usual, […]

Progressives of Northern Virginia

If you live anywhere near the 33rd Virginia State Senate district, please lend a hand to candidate Mark Herring and vote for him on Tuesday, January 31st. Mark Herring (former Leesburg supervisor) is running against Mick Staton (Loudon County Board of Supervisors). Mick Staton has been refusing to debate Mark Herring in anything approaching an […]

Three Cheers for Nettwerk Records

I had placed Nettwerk music label on my boycott list a couple years ago because they were listed as an RIAA member, but apparently their management does not membership too seriously – or perhaps they are only reporting to the RIAA sometimes, because they are defending a girl who is being sued by the RIAA!
