This place is really Chuck E. Cheese without a singing rat and toddlers. Otherwise it’s pretty much the same insanity. But the nieces seem to be enjoying. Sent from my iPhone

I have a LOT of spring cleaning to do, but each time I sit down for more than two minutes, the cats plop down to nap on me. Life is rough! Sent from my iPhone

I just learned about IfWeRanTheWorld via Craig Newmark’s blog. He writes: It’s still in process, but Cindy Gallop was thinking about one of the biggest of problems, how to turn the good intentions of millions of people into actual action.

This article from Slate is interesting. It makes the point that the case against high-fructose corn syrup is not a particularly solid one: So there's every reason to believe that fructose is worse for you than glucose, at least taken pound-for-pound. But it's another thing altogether to suggest that high-fructose corn syrup is worse for [...]
