Giving Thanks, again

Today, I take back all the moaning and complaining I did about UI Quick Care, the minor emergency center that had my wrath a while back after closing at an odd hour for lunch. The odd hour being the exact time I needed care.

But today, they saved me. I met them at the door when they opened at 7 and was diagnosed and out the door to the pharmacy by 7:20. I have a bladder infection that was swiftly becoming a kidney issue.

Now I'm on cipro, the antibiotic they give people who have been exposed to anthrax! So I'm sure I'm well on my way to, well, wellness. I also get a great little pain pill that turns my pee orange. Fun times.

I'm dealing with all this while working from home, as I have no sick days left. I have to be better by tomorrow, because I have the day off with Henry, whose school is closed for conferences. I'm excited to spend the day with him. We're going to see Megamind (a Dreamworks movie) and do Christmas shopping.

Is it OK to own a Canadian?

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, written by a U.S. resident, and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative: Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexic...

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...
