Is that a bag of rice? ETA: And do they customize the weight of rice in the bag to match the baby? Because they so should.

You are so right, brenda! They should.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I think to some extent you could attribute an enhancement to an increase/change in training.

And steroids allow you to increase/change your training because your recovery time is cut.

So I can see buying it for a while.

And I can see someone chosing to use a substance (particulary to recover from an injury and potentially extend his career) if its status is fuzzy.

Along with HGH I also wonder about the banning of blood-doping. I don't think it does damage either, does it? (Not even sure its involved in the baseball situation)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

blood-doping. I don't think it does damage either, does it?

If the athletes were even a leeetle bit smart about how they go about it, then no.

Can y'all send some "push hard!" vibes towards Lancaster County, PA? My stepsister is in labor. My mom's bummed because she was at the doctor's today and he told her she had pink-eye, so she can't go near any babies for a few days.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Just for Tom: Jumping for the joy of it!

What I have learned today -- my camera isn't fast enough and my flash isn't bright enough to take really good jumping pictures. If it wasn't raining buckets and dark outside, I'd have tried in the backyard, even if the neighbors would have looked at me funny.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So what are people doing this weekend?

Tonight is FNL and possibly beer; tomorrow is haircut and brunch with JZ and Matilda, and all weekend is trying not to flip out like a mammal about the job I just interviewed for earlier in the week.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

  • Today: Haircut at 3, drinks and DVD with GF tonight.
  • Saturday: Root canal :( :( :( : (
  • Sunday: Murakami exhibit at MOCA (were too busy last weekend)

ETA: Good luck with the prospect, Lee!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Theo, that makes me think of the David Parson's Dance piece called "Caught"
