We're still at work at HSPH/HMS watching the Obama-Biden Inaugural Parade!

I'd like to see an international ban on all meat advertising - media AND press

I'm not wallowing in despair but hoping for a better world for all sentient beings.

Out for 60 minutes watching '24' - "Torture is unreliable!" "He wasn't lying!"

Desperately sleepy in Boston snowstorm after catching up on email and social media Sunday afternoon

Despite pessimists, Harvard says: do it our way and green, and we'll lead the world.

Getting REALLY impatient with someone who is IM-ing me with shallow impertinent comments.

Not worried about the troubles I could feel re: my friends' troubled emotions. My worry won't help.

Going to the MOVIES - Inkheart

ALL my stocks AND funds went WAY UP today!

Running for soymilk and orange juice; I skipped breakfast AND lunch today. Oh, the trials of a vegan
