Saturday evening update . . .
Sep. 1st, 2007 07:08 pm1. Ahhhh. One of those relaxing Saturdays. Breakfast was healthy hot cereal and a press-pot of coffee. Went yard-sailing. Found a few necessary items. Spent an hour-plus at the Farmers' Market. (Yes, I was pawing over the vegetables), then went to Camp Bailey, a great little restaurant and proceeded to hit the health-food store, used-book store, Borders, "Uncommon Grounds," the yarn store, etc., then came home.
2. The cats are getting used to me being around, although their latest trick is using the bed as part of a moto-cross track at night, bounding over both of us, onto the floor and taking a hard right before impacting the way. Mei-Long decided to do the Figure 8 thing between my ankles today, and Kakuro decided my back was a splendid place to stand and watch things.
3. I just received the following:
"Heineken Light Champions" Promotion Notification.
Dear Winner,
This is to inform you of the Award of One Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling (1,000,000 GBP) from Heineken Beer Company Promotions. This promotional award is to raise the profile of Heineken beer consumers males /females aged 18 to 85 in rural and urban centers to support the spirit of Footballing.
I suppose I could give them my credit card information, but then they'll want me to drink that crap.
4. The following is from a New York Times article. I think the last question to the doctor was out of line.
By 1992, the city needed an epidemiologist, and she got the job. Shelater rose to assistant commissioner (while still, technically, on loanfrom the C.D.C., a common practice).
To fight syphilis and understand its spread, she and her investigators are tracking down and interviewing all 260 cases, visiting bathhouses, public parks,restrooms, and private sex parties. “It’s very labor intensive,” she said.
Through it all, she retains her blunt style. One patient told her it was God’s will that he contracted syphilis. “It may beG od’s will,” she remembers replying, “but it’s a man’s penis.”
Has Dr. Blank ever had a sexually transmitted disease?
Dr. Blank’s eyes neither widen nor narrow. “I don’t have to answer thatquestion,” she said. “I am accorded all the confidentialities ofanybody else that we deal with.”
