My blog has a death wish. Or maybe it’s me. I keep trying to kill it, but then I find an old backup and there it is again–minus a few months’ worth of posts. Resurrected again.

Sorry to say that The Health Show didn’t work out. I’ve been stressing out about the prospect of producing a weekly podcast on a subject I know very little about, and finally realized that it’s more than I can handle. That’s why I get disability, after all. So I emailed my regrets and apologies to [...]

Dave Pollard believes we’re in deep shit [and so do I] but he’s also offering positive solutions:

Grab the nearest book.
Open the book to page 123.
Find the fifth sentence.
Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
Don’t search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what’s actually next to you.
