15 on the Fives, no. 5
go. Just woke up. Last day of school, and still much paperwork to do. Two sets of finals administered yesterday went very extremely well, and I am reading through them now. Much to ponder this morning. As always, C-Loo is on my mind. I’ll call her husband tonight to see how she is fairing with [...]
Bush Lands in Iraq: The Perfect Conspiracy?
Washingtonpost.com has just reported that President Bush just landed in Iraq to meet newly named Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and discuss the next steps in the troubled, three-year-old war. So here’s where I’ll take this: Troubled president makes a surprise visit in country where no. 1 terrorist has just been killed. Troubled president and administration [...]

go. C-Loo begins her chemo treatments today. This has been a fast and furious change of events for her and for the entire family, as this cancer is much more aggressive than the lymphoma she had in 1990. She lives in Orlando, and here I am in Baltimore. When she battled cancer the first time, [...]

It’s not Ann’s problem; it’s mine (and yours)
On my ride into school this morning, it dawned on me, and how foolish I now feel. New book. Outrageous controversy. Book shoots to no. 1 on bestseller list. Mission accomplished. I would imagine that a person like Ann Coulter who has the audacity to write such claims also has the guts to promote her [...]
15 on the Fives, no. 3
Go. I worked out last night for the first time, seriously, in maybe two years. The workout itself was not that impressive: 21 minutes on that anaerobic machine that’s like walking on air. I think they call it an elliptic trainer, but I’m not sure. Burned about 267 calories, which I’m happy with. Kept my [...]
The Problem with Ann
As I re-emerge into the world of breaking news and the neverending scandals in the field of writing and journalism (and boy, am I happy to be back), I feel like I can begin to comment somewhat more competently on the whole Ann Coulter debacle. Friday afternoon, I enjoyed a great discussion with a colleague [...]
15 on the Fives, no. 2
Go. It’s been a long day, and I’m slightly out of sorts from the randomness of all that I’ve been involved in. Not that this is new or unique to me; I thrive in randomness. The difference here is that all of the projects I’ve been engaged in are so, well, engaging, and I’ve been [...]
15 on the Fives no. 1
A note to my readers: 15 on the Fives is posted twice-daily at 5:16 a.m. and 5:16 p.m. These entries are what I call “vomit” or discovery drafts, where I write uninhibited for 15 minutes. There are no rules about topics, content, form, grammar, or spelling. The only rule is that I don’t stop writing. [...]
Thursday Thirteen no. 1
Thirteen Things about rus vw 1….Wickedly green I choose for this first Thursday Thirteen here at rusvw.net2. This is actually probably my seventh or eighth Thursday Thirteen, but up until now, I’ve been blog yo-yo-ing between blogger, typepad, and other blogging sites. I’ve been playing around with this now for a year, but I finally [...]
