Good News and Bad News

Take a minute to check our friend Kim's blog. She has the latest GREAT NEWS about coffee. Yes, I switched to green tea for a little while when I was doing some teeth whitening, but I'm back to my mother's milk -- coffeeeeeee! And it's a good thing!

Kim also has an update on our Puritanical government's lack of political will to allow the morning after pill to be sold in the U.S. in the foreseeable future. Sounds like the "God freaks" have our government by the short and curlies.

Stay awhile and read a few more entries. She's got some cool stuff to talk about.

The bad news...playwright August Wilson has been diagnosed with liver cancer that might allow him to live only six more months. Friends say they won't count him out too soon.

One of my fondest memories of living in New Haven was watching August Wilson write, write, and write at a cafe table in the middle of downtown. His dramatization of the African American experience throughout the 20th century ranks as one of the major accomplishments of the American theater.
