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

Finished thorough revision of the 2009 bioethics website, readying it for re-launch later this week.

The first 45 minutes of "60 minutes" was great; I'm dragging this this last quarter of an hour about the painter Julian Schnabel.

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

Thinking how time and the love of family and friends heal so much grief, sadness, and (hopefully temporary) dysfunctionality.

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.

Things are SO contingent and outcomes so tenuous (and people SO hard-hearted), that the "quantities" make good outcomes unlikely. Hopeless!

The day so far has been VERY good: my work is moving along VERY well.

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!

I'm in the LMA Salt Mines "doing ethics" all week through Saturday evening, when I'll be celebrating animal rights.

I've "put in" an INCREDIBLY CREDIBLE day in Harvard's Longwood Medical Area; now I'm going home. Ready: ZZZZZZ

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”?

Rainy day outside; filing indoors - massive amounts of materials should be put into a meaningful semblance of "order"

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.
