What kind of upbringing allows the creation of human beings who are capable OF THIS or OF THIS??
Are all of us capable of behaving this way under the "right" circumstances? Does the fact that so many Germans were complicit in the Holocaust suggest that this is true?
All I know is that I want to raise my children to stand up bravely and, if necessary, be willing to risk their personal well-being for justice, peace and human rights at home and around the world.

baby names
I've always been a bit obsessed with baby names, so I just love this cool BABY NAME WIZARD THINGIE. Type in a name, any name...
I was surprised to see that "Athena," which is what my bro and sister in law plan to name their new baby if it's a girl (mama is Greek) has skyrocketed in popularity in recent years.

more on shiloh
I finally figured out why the name "Shiloh Jolie-Pitt" reminds me so much of a loveable puppy.

heat pumps
So I am getting a new heat pump (new heat and A/C system), and am a bit overwhelmed with picking what kind I should get.
I don't even know what all these mean:
-Air source heat pump
-Ground water source heat pump
-Earth coupled heat pump
-Direct exchange ground source heat pump
-multi speed or dual compressor heat pump
-comfort zone heat pump system
Anybody have one of these and any thoughts about its pros and cons? I'm willing to spend a little more to get the most efficient kind ...
Clearly, I need to do some major research this week.

shiloh jolie-pitt
Oh dear. Brad and Angelina have named their newborn daughter, SHILOH NOUVEL JOLIE-PITT.
"Shiloh" is a simply terrible name. It's the site of a horrifying, bloody Civil War battle. It's also the name of any number of dogs in the southeastern U.S., as well as a popular name for tacky subdivisions.
Yikes.

i want to write about your house
Well, once again I have a slew of freelance assignments on which I need to get crackin' (for HGTV) and I'm looking for homeowner interviewees. If you have any of these features in your house/condo/apt and would be willing to talk to me about them, please be in touch. I'd be very grateful. Feel free to pass this message along to friends/family.
-A combo kitchen/family room
-A floor in your kitchen made of cork, brick, hardwood or laminate
-An unusual kitchen sink: farmhouse style/above counter or "wet surface"
thanks!

big(ger) families
I have three kids and would like at least one, maybe two more. Often I feel like a weirdo among my friends for having this opinion, so it was interesting to read THIS ARTICLE about the new "mini trend" of how "three is the new two."
My little brother Robert and his wife Nicole, both lawyers, are pregnant with their fourth baby, due in July. They also have Jones (5), Anna (3) and Helen (2).

I hope to be able to get to Nashville next weekend for my BABY COUSIN THOMAS'S CD release party at 12th & Porter.
Thomas is my youngest first cousin and probably the coolest person in our family. Definitely the best looking of the lot of us. He's a physicist by academic training, but also an incredible drummer. He also does Reiki. And climbs trees. He was also the first person to introduce me to Buddhism about a decade ago.

Tim McGraw - who knew?
I had no idea that Tim McGraw is a VOCAL DEMOCRAT with aspirations to one day be Tennessee governor.

Tomorrow would have been my 16th wedding anniversary.
Such a stupid, pointless tragedy. It would be so, so much better for the children if we were married. And when things were good, they were really nice. I wish I could have stayed married. I really loved him. I always will, actually. And I'm pretty sure he loved me, too.
