Vancouverite; music-lover; small-time foodie; some kind of news/politics junkie; new wife!! You will often find me at a computer or peering into my iPhone.
The name of the blog comes from the song "Reckoner" by Radiohead. I've seen them in concert nine times in five countries, which is really negligible by the standards of some of my friends.

Oh and that election…
I cried. I did. The tears just poured down my face, the Main Distractor and I were instant messaging, and even though I was alone (with the dogs) in my Vancouver living room, not in a crowd of hundreds or … Continue reading
“Barack Obama for President”
Andrew Sullivan says it at least as well as I could; it’s such a relief to read now and then that someone in the damn world besides me cares about the Constitution.

Oh, my bad.
Gov. Palin was asked to name other US Supreme Court cases with which she disagreed, in addition to Roe. Her hedging answer was designed more to avoid letting anyone know what her opinion might be about anything potentially controversial than … Continue reading

Kertwang!
There’s so much material, the blogosphere may explode…for sheer hilarity, not much beats Sarah Palin talking to Katie Couric. Alas, poor Couric….Katie seems to have valued politeness over the facts, or perhaps she was afraid of Gov. Palin’s possible response … Continue reading
