I should be writing a substantive blog post, but I'm dead tired after 14 hours spent listening to very stimulating science presented by talented grad students, post-docs and residents at a large medical center, after which they were in turn subjected to an invited lecture from me, a lecture I've been obsessing over for a month.

Kate had to leave at 7am this morning to go to a "retreat" for her office, so I took the kids to Dunkin' Donuts for breakfast. That got us all out the door at the same time, avoiding the freakout from The Pip if he saw Mommy leave without him. Kate will be late getting home tonight, as well, so I'…
So beautiful. It's nice to keep things in their proper context, isn't it? Willie's cover of 'Graceland' is great, too.
Nice way to start the day. Safe voyage.

Safe journey revere. Willie Nelson has always been a favorite of mine.
Did you know that top celebrities from the entertainment world, along with leading academics and drug policy experts are joining together to help end marijuana prohibition by signing on to NORML's advisory board.
Among those who have agreed to participate on the board are country music star and longtime NORML supporter Willie Nelson, .......
I don't recall how old you and Mrs R may be or how long you have been shackled in the bonds of matrimony, but it is wonderful that you still seem to have the love of teenagers.
