We're NOT going to 'Try Thai by Pat' in Boynton Beach (Thai) for New Year's Eve; just TOO much to do

Found that 'Try Thai by Pat' in Boynton Beach, small, lovely Thai restaurant for New Year's Eve; has egg in most dishes; must special order.

Slavery wasn't defended in terms of rights; it was justified in terms of economics. Animal slavery is justified the same way - PLUS TASTES.

Getting votes for the OBAMAs to GO VEGAN as a FAMILY !! www.Change.org/ideas/ search "vegan"

I urged the Obamas to "Go vegan! Go vegan as a FAMILY!" on Change.org

I have many well-formed thoughts on many topics - but very few soundbites. You can quote me on that.

DO 'friend' me in places where you haven't friended' me already: LinkedIn, 360, Multiply, Facebook, MySpace, Xing, PickensPlan, MyBlogLog

I like the new Digsby - My public urging "Please 'friend' me everywhere" has yielded hundreds of new 'online friends' - many worthwhile.

What's to say? HOUSE is on TV tonight. Stock market is DOWN, DOWN, DOWN. Do we STILL HOLD? Most folks BAIL OUT, and others get bargains.

I'll be at "An Inconvenient Food at Emmanuel College" until around 9 pm this evening, then home. Looks like MOST US stocks are UP, UP, AWAY!

Awesome how I can work intensely for 8 hours for 6 hours pay

Thinking Terry Gross SHOULD be talking about Humane California and doing similiar referenda in all the other US states.

It's a rainy day outside; correspondence & filing indoors - massive amounts of materials should be put into a meaningful semblance of order.

Do we speak of the “vale of tears” or the “veil of tears”?

All of those who knew John Roman and George Engel and those not lucky enough to meet them, are indebted to the authors of this absolutely splendid book for bringing alive an experiment in psychiatry that succeeded so well and proved such a shining example for our field and for medical education. This book is a happy illustration of what scholarship and literary skill can contribute to the understanding of how to care for our patients and how to teach students to improve their skills.
