Sandy

• While we're waiting to hear how bad Hurricane Sandy will be, I wonder: how did people evacuate if the subways, trains etc. in New York were closed? Not everyone has a car. 

Jump!

• OK, disclaimer here: I have no particular thoughts about Justin Timberlake or Jessica Biel, or pink wedding dresses. I *do* spend too much time surfing around. Hence: I have come across the couple of wedding photos that have been released so far. My question is: Did JT spend the entire wedding weekend jumping? JB seems pretty cool with it, but for me it's bringing back scary memories of the Tom Cruise couch jump. And we all know how creepy that was.

Just had it up to here!

• My mom always used to say that. "I've had it up to here with [fill in whatever here]!" Well, today I've had it up to here with all the mindfulness/coaching/realize your potential/take time for yourself/unplug/organize your life blogs. Jeez. Maybe I've been reading too many of them, but the last couple of months, man, they...all...say...the...same...thing. Pffff. It's not that I'm against the lesson, I'm just tired of everybody copycatting each other. So I've cleaned up my RSS feed and may or may not fill it with other things. Like iPhone tips. Or nail polish.

Anybody else tired of hearing "the message"?

Hiatus (but somehow still about varicose veins)

• Hey. Haven't posted for a while, as so many bloggers post. A lot of traffic is going to my varicose vein posts (no. 1, no. 2, no. 3 and no. 4), and frankly, there's no news on that front, though I suppose I could post a One Year After the Operation photo. Who needs one? Show of hands?
