Snowland

Ellie — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 20:47:02 +0000

Hi Dad,

Thanks for the food and treats! Sorry I haven’t written. Just been really busy dealing with winter. Guess G_Mom told you we were all sick and just staying in bed for several days. Better now! I hurt my thigh doing Wii Yoga, so I had to behave for several days. It really fooled [...]

Crinoid Update – Growing & Regenerating

Nathan — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 01:13:55 +0000

My crinoid dropped the tips of some of its arms. Which I read is pretty normal. I watched with curiosity to see if this trend would reverse. It has! There are new growth coming out of each of the arms that dropped tips. I have been watching this creature through my magnifying glass each day. [...]

Dog Days and Earl’s Coming To Visit

Ellie — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:17:48 +0000

Dad this weather is unbelievable. There is a heat advisory out and we are not allowed to leave the air-conditioned room except for bathroom and food breaks. Now I hear G-Mom talking about some guy named Earl coming to visit. It is way too hot to entertain. All of the shades and blinds are pulled [...]

Kolkata, India

Nathan — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:42:21 +0000

Josh took this photo of me waiting on the platform of the New Delhi Railway Station with all of our luggage as we learned that the train would be 5 hours late. I was warned this might happen and at this point in the vacation we were both more that used to things in [...]

EXTRA! EXTRA! Bow Wow ‘Mpics Halted!

Ellie — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 13:45:28 +0000

Oh Crap, Dad I got caught so you should be expecting the dreaded phone call! My misbehavior has nothing to do with the BOW WOW Olympics, but instead not paying attention when I have been diabolical!

So here is my version of what happened. We had a great day yesterday and put into place foolproof [...]

Who Knew?

Ellie — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:13:37 +0000

Apparently Dad, pinecones are not for chewing. You never told me, although I should have surmised that if Slobbie and Cart did not take the pinecones off the table they must not be for us to use/chew. G-Mom caught me red pawed. Slobbie and Cart were in the bedroom with her and I was just [...]

PORTLAND WHERE? UT OH!

Ellie — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:04:26 +0000

Dad, apparently there are two cities named Portland and I am not sure what happened, but here are the details. I remember seeing Katie and being very, very excited. She petted and petted me and got off much more loose hair, much to G_Mom’s dismay. You know how she hates dog hair anywhere but on [...]

DEPRESSION OVER!

Ellie — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 12:27:48 +0000

Hi Dad, My Doggie Depression is finally over. I got into big trouble this morning marking the end of this bout of Depression!

G_Mom says I have to have at least 15 minutes of sun a day for Vitamin D and that I should be outside for at least one hour if the weather is [...]

The Way Life Should Be

Ellie — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:40:48 +0000

Hi Dad,

Have been kind of busy readjusting to “the way life should be in Maine”. These people insist that I pee on the grass. Just how backward can you get?

G-Mom made me go onto the wet grass this morning. Just who wants to spend the whole morning licking their paws clean? Not [...]

Slobbie

Nathan — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 16:35:29 +0000

My given name is Slowbow and I am a beautiful buff cocker spaniel that lives in Maine. However my friends call me Slobbie. My days are fairly predictable but busy. Originally I was an only dog, but my mother felt I needed a sibling because being an only dog was spoiling me. So we adopted [...]

Bug Stuff

Ellie — Wed, 06 May 2009 15:36:02 +0000

So Dad what’s up this bug stuff? I looked up Tick on the Internet and it is the common name for the small arachnids in superfamily Ixodoidea that, along with other mites, constitute the Acarina. So now everytime I go outside I have to have a bug check before I can go back in. Have [...]

Ruggsies

Ellie — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 20:05:28 +0000

Hi Dad, Have not heard from you in a while, so I thought I would write. Things good in Maine. G-Mom gave me my first direct complement this morning and patted me on the head. She told me that I was better behaved that Cart or Slobbie and that she never had to yell at [...]

No Food But Lots of Flags

Nathan — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 00:51:18 +0000

I love photos like this one from the English Anti-Semites BBC. We have a full blown humanitarian crisis in Gaza, blah, blah, blah. But some how, some way, they can continue to smuggle in weapons and better yet lots and lots of green Hamas flags. Maybe some of those tunnels should be used to [...]

UPDATE: Do we need election monitors?

Nathan — Wed, 06 Sep 2006 16:43:58 +0000

Take a listen to today’s The Brian Lehrer Show (podcast):

Back to the Future, Mark Crispin Miller, professor of media studies at New York University and author, Fooled Again (Basic Books 2005) accuses George Bush of electoral fraud in Ohio

And if that is not enough, check out his blog.

Not bothered yet? How about [...]

Eulogy: Death of The American Dream

Nathan — Fri, 01 Sep 2006 16:50:41 +0000

In front of Twilo maybe 8 years ago, maybe longer, I was berated by Sean B. and George M. because I was taking a stance about sending garment production to Asia. I maintained that it was fundamentally un-American to allow your neighbors to loose their jobs so that you could have the perception of cheaper [...]

Spain (incomplete move from old site)

Nathan — Sat, 18 Sep 2004 03:51:19 +0000

The Trip started Tuesday night with a trip to JFK. Nothing eventful happened at all. We boarded the flight and made our way to Spain via Iberia.

Wednesday 8th of September

The jet from JFK arrives late to Madrid Barajas and we miss the connection to Barcelona and we fear that we might miss our [...]

Mexico w/Idan

Nathan — Sun, 18 Apr 2004 04:04:14 +0000

Idan has been traveling through Mexico for over a month and was around the Cancun area. I looked online and found a good deal to go visit him for a 4 days weekend. In total the trip would cost about 300$. I figured staying in a resort would give him nice break from his backpacking [...]

A Return to Prague

Nathan — Sat, 14 Feb 2004 04:43:23 +0000

The trip was originally going to be Anthony, Roy, Dan and me, but circumstances dictated that only Dan and I would be able to go. The day of departure came and we had arranged to meet at 11 Madison Park for lunch, hop in the car to JFK, and be off for a great weekend [...]

Fall Trip Around Puerto Rico

Nathan — Wed, 31 Oct 2001 04:49:31 +0000

After a whirlwind tour of Italy and a few days at work, I took off for Puerto Rico early Friday morning.

When I arrived at the airport the lines were immense and I had no idea if I would make it on the jet in time. It left at around 4am for a 7am departure, [...]
