As my physical therapist warned me, this has been a lingering situation and I've had to adapt by doing some tasks with my left hand -- computer mousing for example.edj3https://www.blogger.com/profile/11137939126171451654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000858382516594426.post-32567816317020736352009-10-12T15:49:01.758-04:002009-10-12T15:49:01.758-04:00Do you still play the oboe?

The main character was originally created in a lab. It's not science like the biology in Joan Slonczewski's novels, but there's no magic. And the aliens don't tend to be cuddly. In fact, there are some cat aliens you'll enjoy.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000858382516594426.post-5580686717046805332009-10-09T10:37:37.548-04:002009-10-09T10:37:37.548-04:00Another Bush presidency.Another Bush presidency.The Lasshttp://thelass.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000858382516594426.post-39693421260660572022009-10-09T10:35:59.913-04:002009-10-09T10:35:59.913-04:00Ticks.

Ticks, and chiggers and snakes oh my.<br /><br />I ended up with massive amounts of ticks crawling all over me on our last day in the field. I didn't even realize it at first, other soldiers in my unit started brushing them off me. They crawled everywhere--on the sleeves of my BDUs, all over my rifle, you name it, they were there. If I hadn't been so freaking hot and tired, I probably would have run off shrieking into the river.<br /><br />Fortunately I'd brought my own highly effective bug spray and had been spraying myself down regularly. I got exactly one bite. Somehow I don't think I'd have emerged from Room 101 so unscathed. <br /><br />I'm not a fantasy fan, but you've classified the Stardoc series as sci-fi. Do you pinky swear it's sci-fi? If so, I'm going to go start reading that series.edj3https://www.blogger.com/profile/11137939126171451654noreply@blogger.com
