waxing political for a moment…
There are several good articles in the NYTimes this morning about the direction the U.S. government seems to be heading as regards civil rights and Presidential powers. Here’s an excellent op-ed about a similar situation faced by the Romans: Excerpt: But such was the panic that ensued after Ostia that the people were willing to…

I was just intubated…
So, the research study (phase 1 of 4) is wrapping up and now they’re doing their tests on me (16 days of eating meat down, 2 to go). I went into the hospital this morning at 8:00 to have a tube stuck up through my nose and into my stomach. Once it was in –…

Lorenzo’s Oil
I don’t review most of the movies I watch these days, but I do review some and I rate all of them on IMDB. Anyway, this isn’t my review, it’s Debi’s. If you’re familiar with the premise of Lorenzo’s Oil, you can skip to Debi’s review. If not, here’s the quick of it: A boy…

Tribute to Utah video

want a printer?
We just bought a new multi-function printer to do a bunch of scanning (it has an auto document feeder and dupluxer so it will scan both sides of a piece of paper) and are looking to get rid of our relatively unused Canon Pixma IP3000. I got it for $5.00 when I purchased a new…

so… meat, not as good as I remember
The study started today and, rather than ease into things, I was given a few slices of cow right out of the gate: I admit I was a little anxious about eating it – it’s been 7 years! Anyway, I bit into it and found that meat isn’t really that good. I can think of…

no holds barred political cartoon
Caught wind of this in the NYTimes today – it’s an uncensored political cartoon called Lil’ Bush that debuts on Amp’d Mobile. Wow! Hilarious, but dead on and definitely uncensored. Must view for anyone critical of the Bush Administration (basically 99% of the world’s population these days).

bring on the meat!
Debi forwarded me an email about a study they are conducting at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital looking at bile acid and genetics about six months ago. In the initial email they seemed to indicate they were looking for vegetarians as participants, but I must have misread the email. Anyway, the study involves some intriguing procedures (taking…

trip to Utah
We’re back. I don’t, typically, announce on my blog when we are going out of town. Call me paranoid, but I don’t think announcing our absence is a good idea. It’s not like we have anything in our tiny condo that anyone would want, but you never know. I’ve posted a rundown of our trip…
