X-post with the Somervillian e-mail list regarding the F2F: I really would like to have final numbers as soon as possible for anyone attending Al Forno's restaurant on Friday, June 25th or for prom at Paragon restaurant on Saturday, June 26th, so I can give the restaurant our final numbers. If you are planning on attending either of these nights please let me know in the F2F thread or at my profile addy when you can. Thanks.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So, if you want to celebrate Our Great Nation by watching me on TV, you may. We're on Saturday, July 3: [link]

Attention Providence F2Fers: If there is food/alcohol/other beverages, etc that you want us to have at the hotel for post-prom or the weekend in general, let me know in the F2F thread. Also, if anyone wants/needs a ride from the airport, e-mail me and I'll let you know if I can be available.

Compassionately intolerant
Today, a popular DC blog, The Hill is Home, featured a really nice post about a defining moment in my life.
My own post...about the post...(at the risk of straining meta) offers the shorter story.
I'm uneasy about seeming to self-promote, but I really enjoyed the distillation of something that generally takes me hours to explain. I hope you will too.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Whooping cough declared state epidemic [In California]
Officials Urge Vaccination
On Wednesday, California Department of Public Health Director Mark Horton called for children to be vaccinated against whooping cough and urged parents, family members and caregivers of infants to obtain a booster shot (AP/San Francisco Chronicle, 6/23).
Since January, the state has confirmed 910 whooping cough cases and five infant deaths resulting from the highly contagious respiratory disease. Authorities are investigating 600 additional cases that could be classified as pertussis (Linthicum/Lin, Los Angeles Times, 6/24).
The number of confirmed cases is more than four times higher than the number recorded at this point in 2009, putting the state on pace for the worst outbreak of the disease in 50 years, according to the San Jose Mercury News (Messinger, San Jose Mercury News, 6/23).

I'm going to be in the Bay Area 4th of July weekend (really from June 30th through July 8th, bouncing here and there, working Th/Fri and Tues-Thurs).
So anyone who'd be up for breakfast, lunch, dinner, fireworks, whatever, email me at the profile addy! I'll have a rental car, and especially into stuff to do over the weekend, though could be into dinners Tuesday or Wednesday night also (I'll be staying in downtown Oakland those nights).
