*warning, political*

I started out on the fence, not sure if I preferred Clinton or Obama. A few months ago, I leaned heavily towards Obama. This move by the Clinton camp is just another reminder of why. I went from being enthusiastic about both candidates to being deeply embarrassed for one.

a unitarian prayer

There’s an article in this quarter’s UUWorld about everyday ceremonies… the practice of celebrating and acknowledging those small things that are the joys of life, that so often get pushed aside by meetings and duties and schedules and errands.

template blues

I saw my pulmonologist today about my bronchitis, and they took a chest xray which showed that my lung cavity is growing. This is pretty sucky news, really. She thinks it may be because the antifungal I’m on isn’t working anymore, and is considering trying another drug. I’m quite scared by that because there aren’t [...]
