I can’t seem to help myself when it comes to The Boss. There’s just something magnetic about him.

Yesterday Chou and I were in town (almost getting ripped off when purchasing treats at an Indian bakery but not getting ripped off because Chou can do basic math AND confront people about cover charges--what is this, Italy?!) and I saw that Christmas lights are going up!

We know that one of the major sources of the greenhouse gasses that are driving climate change is the coal the we burn to generate electricity. If nothing is done to change that, the all of the other stuff we might do would not be enough to reign in our warming climate... making 650 ppm CO2 much more likely than 350. One would think that it might be easy for Democrats to pass some sort of climate change...

This morning I began an exercise wellness program. I have been suffering from sciatica for several months and being treated with physical therapy. I joined their wellness program and this morning was my first "exercising on my own". I was very very pleased with myself - I did exercises for the sciatica problems, and then used the recumbent bicycle for 12 minutes - my pitiful little records...

Photo from the artist's Myspace page.
