    Inside Northwestern sports

  • Northwestern softball headed to NCAA tournament

    14 May 2012 | 3:28 pm
                Northwestern's softball team found out at the last minute Sunday night that they are headed to the NCAA tournament after receiving an at-large bid.             The Wildcats ended the regular season on a six-game winning streak, no doubt propelling them to their at-large bid. NU also won eight of their last nine games to finish 27-27. By finishing at .500, the Wildcats got the "bare minimum" of wins to get invited into the tournament.

  • Northwestern's Erin Fitzgerald comes through

    12 May 2012 | 8:55 pm
                Notre Dame keyed in on Northwestern's Shannon Smith -- limiting the Wildcats' lacrosse star to only one goal and one assist -- but the Fighting Irish didn't have enough firepower to take down the defending NCAA champions, and NU won its opening round NCAA tournament game 12-7 Saturday at Lakeside Field.             The No. 2-seeded Wildcats (18-2) advance to the quarterfinals next weekend, where they will play either Duke or Virginia at Lakeside Field. Duke and Virginia play Sunday.

The Bulls lost their playoff series four games to two and the Sox are 15-17 and in third…

  • Northwestern lacrosse opens postseason Saturday

    11 May 2012 | 10:14 am
                Northwestern's lacrosse team begins its national title defense Saturday when the Wildcats host Notre Dame at Lakeside Field in their first NCAA tournament game.             The No. 2-seeded Wildcats (17-2) are coming off their second loss to Florida this season, a 14-7 defeat. It was the second time NU lost to Florida this season, the first being an 8-7 loss.             And that 14-7 loss was NU's worst since 2003.

  • Northwestern men's basketball adds Swopshire, Olah

    25 Apr 2012 | 3:21 pm

Swopshire sat out his entire junior…

    Sometimes, the old fashioned way just feels better. Tom and I have developed a bit of a tea habit. We like white teas, and green teas, and black teas, and ginger teas. (Although I am lazy about loose leaf. I tend to buy high quality bagged tea, such as Mighty Leaf and Tea Forte.) We like tea pots too. The small Japanese tea pot. The smaller Chinese tea pot. The big dragon-themed tea pot that I inherited from my Grandmother (which has the faces in the cups, I posted about earlier). What we don’t like is boiling our water, steeping our tea…and then forgetting about it. For some…

    Tom and I had a lovely taste of two things yesterday: spring, and unexpectedly being child-free for much of the afternoon and evening! We took advantage of this windfall and hoofed our old asses out to Sauvie Island for a stroll along the Oak Island Nature Trail, which takes visitors around the peninsula of the same name. It was dusk by the time we finished, the light was incredible, and I was lamenting the fact that I hadn’t thought to bring my camera. We could see Mount St. Helens, Mt. Adams, and Mt. Hood as if they were a mere few feet away, but unfortunately I only had my less than…

    We consider it to be good news that Zoe’s entry into middle school has brought with it a dramatic decrease in the types of projects that require Tom and I to be engaged parents.

Zelda is still in fifth grade, and so far this school year, we have had two large poster projects.

For the record, I would like to say that the Zs practically got in a wrestling match in their excitement over which soap to claim for their bathroom.

    In Portland, we have a wonderful store, if you adore paper arts and letterpress. It’s called Oblation Paper and Press. I was lucky enough to take a letterpress class there a while ago, working with those incredible old machines and wooden letter blocks (I made a postcard-sized thank you card that said “Danke”). Anyhow, our current downsized lifestyle, which I adore, does not really include room for a turn-of-the-century, gigantic, zillion pound letterpress machine! (Maybe when the Zs depart…) So, I didn’t think playing with letterpress would be in my future.
