I'm Still Alive, I Swear

Rumors of my death were greatly exaggerated. I am still not feeling particularly well, but I think I might be a bit better than at my last report. Obviously I'm still not active on the site, which is in part on account of my health, but also due to the class I'm taking and the physical therapy that I've been getting nearby for a few weeks. The center is only 3-4 miles from here, so I have been making the drive myself.

Oh, and mom and I got back into World of Warcraft a week or so ago, and joined a guild called The Holy Gnoman Empire. Good stuff.

Thanksgiving was nice as usual, in no small part because of Jim and Susanne's effort in organizing and cooking for the rest of us. I brought my friend Ann-Marie along this year since she didn't have another place to be, so it was doubly nice. Unfortunately, no snack turkeys were created this year due to lack of participants, but we will regroup next year, or possibly in a few weeks if someone can think of a snack craft project related to Christmas that we could use at the carol sing.

Slow to Update

I have a lot to talk about right now, but am too tired to make it a reality. Here is a great political article to keep you busy. Just pretend I wrote it. I certainly could have given that I've talked about the concept this writer discusses numerous times on this site.

Stem Cell Clarification

Kirsten Powers, a pro-life Democrat, wrote an excellent post about embryonic stem cell research earlier today. This issue is overly generalized by the media and a great many politicians. Kirsten's post, while written from a pro-life perspective, helps illuminate its complexity in a very clear manner, and is worth a read regardless of your position.
