What to blog today, about this week?
Saturday, June 7th 2008
Funny day so far. Usually I wake up Saturdays ready to face the CK records and wanting to Blog. But today I feel balanced, and content, and Im not sure what to talk about. Ill hunt about in my psyche and see what comes up.Unexpected changes since weight loss
Since I have begun to lose weight actually, since I joined CK at the beginning of this year, I notice many things are different. And as my weight changes, more things are added to this casual list.

In an earlier blog post, I'm certain I mentioned that I was reading James Frey's A Million Little Pieces. I mentioned the book to a friend, whose response was to laugh aloud. Apparently the book was debunked as fictional. (See http://www.thesmokinggun.com/jamesfrey/0104061jamesfrey1.html for one account.) Now I'm trying to figure out if the book, originally read by me as nonfiction, has any value to me as fiction.Two main thoughts: a) I have not thought of myself as having any addi...

Here's the web site, if anyone wants to know more: http://www.ohsu.edu/health/page.cfm?id=13497It is a wet day today, but probably mild enough that even if we (when we) get soaked, we won't get too cold.

Wish us luck and fun. Catch up ...

At work yesterday, I covered the Help Desk. It means I took requests by telephone, e-mail, and in-person to assist with computer, telephone, and printer problems. It was a busy morning, I responded to three or four e-mails, took a few calls, and went to visit three people at their desks. Finally, a small lull, so I stopped into the restroom. Finished, I stepped to the sink to wash my hands ACK! I screeched, I hope that booger wasnt hanging out of my nose all morning! The nose a...
