Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The one I'm working on is for a JAMA journal; it's a 22-year study on the impact of sugar on health, completely separate from the weight/"empty calories"/obesity angle.

Is there any way I can read that without a subscription to JAMA?

Some articles are free on the website when they're published. I can let you know -- it should be on the website in mid-February.

I do not want to know about the death sugar. Eek. But good luck with all the work, Steph!

Lobster Mac or wine with Mercers does sound like good times!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks, everyone! And a happy birthday to Theo and Rayne!

My day has been pretty good so far! Fancy breakfast, hanging out with some family friends, now some errands, and a show later. Nice! I'm going to have a dinner party over the weekend with some friends, to properly celebrate the big 4-0.

Happy Birthday Theo, Jesse, and Rayne!

I'm hanging out with my sister and niece before heading to the airport. Every time I visit it becomes clearer that moving to MI would be a good thing for me. Now I just need to combine that with employment.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I'm at work AND DON'T WANT TO BE.

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

Holidays are gonna be hard for my mom for a few years.

Yes. We lost my father's mother at Christmas and it was hard for a long time. It was a good and bad kind of hard though. The sweetness in the bittersweet moments is worth clinging to.
