No, I haven't been recovering from a glut of reminiscence. I can't use that as an excuse for not blogging. Actually, the end of March 80's fest fell through. It seems that Scooter is all important now with his work and experience in Hep C prevention in Australia, so much so that he was asked to stay and do a presentation and some collaborative work after his conference in Memphis. He flew into Cowtown today and the kids and I took him up to Lost In Middle America to spend time with his mom and sibs. He took us to lunch (only because he worked his wiles on the server so she gave him the check.) I will be soooo sending $$ to your mom, dude. You lucked out because I was worrying about the kids making a mess at your mom's house, and I forgot to give it to her then.

Here's another fear-mongering item in the war on childhood I found in an AP article from the little weekly paper dropped on my doorstep: Beware: Snow and Germs Do Mix It says that snow, even the pristine stuff, contains the Pseudomonas syringae bacteria. It does go on to contradict the freak out implied in the title, saying that the bacteria is very common, that the acid in our digestive systems are a great defense and that those with cystic fibrosis or small formula-fed babies are truly at risk for infection.
