I Just Grasped the Caucus System (and I don’t like it)

By KJ / Thursday, January 3, 2008

I am having a moment of sudden understanding–and thus sudden anger–about the Iowa caucus. How can this be the way we want things done? Here’s my problem with the caucus system: What if everyone in Iowa wanted to participate? I know, that’s crazy, but let’s just say they did. Not possible. What if you’re on dialysis? How many 17-year-old babysitters are there to go around? Who will man the 911 system, the emergency room, the quickie mart. What if you’re […]

Putting my skates on…

By KJ / Sunday, December 2, 2007

Rob is out of town for half the week, so it’s pretty much a race with decent SAG stops for me. Get up! Get dressed! Get your coat on ! Get your boots on! Where’s your lunch? Why aren’t your boots on? Let’s go! [interval of school and babysitter and work] get in the car! We’ve got to go get someone else! Got to drop them off! Got to get home! Run! And this is just my inner monologue….

As American as Apple Pie, Bloody Skeletons and Machine Guns

By KJ / Wednesday, October 24, 2007

I let Sam watch the first half of the first inning of the World Series tonight. A lot of the kids in his class are talking about it (we’re close to Boston and this is definitely Red Sox nation). It took 45 minutes of pregame to get to the batters. There were 8 or 10 rounds of commercials. The first one was funny and we both loved it so much we went back to see it again–a guy and some […]
