Title Varies Slightly

I’ve been getting a flu shot every year for years.  I’ve always thought this was just common sense, because every upper respiratory infection I get just goes directly into my lungs and stays for weeks.  It seems that the Centers for Disease Control have finally caught up with me.  In this instruction sheet, they specifically [...]

I had my Lent somewhat planned out I had certain things I was giving up and other things I was adding on. (My behaviorist training as a special ed teacher leads me never to try to wipe out a behavior without adding an incompatible one.)
But you know, “If you want to make God laugh, tell [...]

Hey, any bloggers out there using voice-input software and a PC to blog and do their other computer work? I’m having pain and numbness in my hands (the pins-and-needles kind) and am going in for tests on Friday. I suspect the doctors will tell me that I need to spend less time with the keyboard [...]

Okay, things are on the mend. Look for more updates here soon.

Some time back Wheelie Catholic posted about Using a wheelchair in Second Life.
I don’t belong to Second Life (my first life is nuts enough!), but I did just create an avatar on  WeeWorld. I like the WeeWorld avatars because they aren’t particularly buff (they remind me of the “Love is” cartoons from the 70s). [...]

Intense and energetic, you aren’t completely happy unless you are bouncing off the walls.
You’re addicted to caffeine. There’s no denying it.

I was tagged by Wheelie Catholic for this meme. It’s my first official meme-tagging by name… I’m so proud!
Here we go:
1. My 18th birthday party was a surprise party — held in one of the elevators of my dorm.
2. I was a regional poster child for Easter Seals; one of their first (and last) adolescent [...]

Random comments from my DC conference / tourist experience:

Went to vigil Mass at St. Patrick. Actually heard the priest preach about the sanctity of life! “This passage shows clearly that God is in love with us from the womb. … We must love life from the womb. It is just that simple.”
Today was a day [...]

actually they are not; but I can’t resist a song reference in a blog post title.
Tomorrow I head out to join over 13,000 of my colleagues at the American Library Association’s Annual Conference in Washington DC. The phone number I need to summon shuttle vans to help me cope with broken Metro elevators is in [...]
