The beloved has a spate of evening rehearsals during the upcoming month or so, and I’ve called in the reinforcements, which for the most part consists of a phalanx of chums I’ve seen far too little of since we got with child #2. It’s not like I couldn’t hack it, managing the dinner/bath/bedtime routine with the two be-diapered kids simultaneously. It’s like my hacking it would also entail my hacking other things, too, due to Behavioral Complications stemming from the M-word.
This just in from Dana, our gal at the Mombian desk:
Sources tell me the Today show
tomorrow (Wednesday, September 19)on Thursday, September 20 will be covering the ongoing debate in the Evesham, New Jersey School District over whether to ban a diversity film that includes an LGBT family.
Check her post for the details.
I would expect that Today Show producers would recieve a mountain of mail following any coverage of the ongoing drama around the family diversity in the curriculum in the Evesham, New Jersey School district. I’m hoping that LGBT families and their allies can ensure that the better chunk of that mountain is made of love, rather than its opposite.
Further details on coverage to follow, at Mombian. My most recent bit on the whole broo-ha-ha is here.
[Updated on Wednesday morning; story pushed up "due to OJ coverage." Glad the commercial news media knows which real stories matter to people. ]
A kid-sized haywagon, some forgotten apple trees brimming with fruit, and thou.
(Fruit stains at mouth: from wild blackberries, picked before the apple. Direction of gaze: the next apple, custom-plucked by Auntie Liz.)

It’s been such a busy news week at Casa LD that it’s been a slow news week at the blog.
Which is to say, most of the household attention has been paid to the turning three of a certain someone, plus the matter of that two-going-on-three-year-old beginning (and staying a whole morning at!) preschool.
So much to facilitate, so little time to write about it. Ch-ch-ch-changes. That longer rumination will continue to season on the back burner; meanwhile I’ll offer up a few “tapas” to tide us both over.
…ninety-seven to go.

Does this look like a two year old to you? Yeah, well that was soooo three days ago. ‘Cause now she’s soooo three.
[And Happy New Year, people! May 5768 be a good year for you.]

Love to those who remember and grieve today, and wisdom to us all.
Some of which wisdom can be found, for example, Susan Faludi’s look at the myths underlying the administration’s response (in the NY Times), or Gary Kamiya’s look at the source of the response in a lethal combination of instinct and ignorance (in Salon.com).
Voting open 'til Feb 19, 2012.
