Now Appearing
Sep 4th
What a way to start the week, by populating other peoples’ blogs!
The ever-so-appropriately titled “Bonsai Chicken” is up at Now Is Gone – my take on the whole Facebook phenomenon.
Also, the first of my guest posts for National Preparedness Month is online at the Clutter Control Freak Blog.

“It’s too tempting to place all the significance on the tipping points, and ignore the years of leaning and shoving that was responsible for that moment of equilibrium in the first place.”

Baby Benadryl
Aug 16th
This news item caught my fancy today:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisory panel will discuss the safety and effectiveness of over-the-counter cough and cold medicines for children at a meeting in October, the FDA said on Wednesday.
“Questions have been raised about the safety of these products and whether the benefits justify any potential risks from the use of these products in children, especially in children under 2 years of age,” the Food and Drug Administration said in an advisory posted on its Web site.
That would be a shame. It’s hard to calm a sick toddler. Maybe we’ll still be able to procure black-market Baby Benadryl on Continental Express flights.
