I really hate doing profiles about myself but I like reading others.

I have a PhD in epidemiology. I work very part-time since I'm a full-time Mom.

I'm addicted to blogs -- reading them, that is. Blogs I check everyday include Small Dead Animals, Little Green Footballs, and Go Fug Yourself. I've thought about starting a blog but first I need a name for it.

Although I live in Canada (nine years), I'm an American -- a midwestern girl. The Canadian government considers me a "Permanent Resident" but I've decided that's rather presumptuous. I prefer "Semi-permanent."

Latest books read -- I'm reading Lee Child's Jack Reacher Novels. I just finished Running Blind and I'm starting Without Fail. I can't put the damn things down and it's all the fault of my friend's husband who loaned them to me. And people wonder why my house is messy.


What else should I tell?

Somewhere, and I can't find where, I read about an Eskimo hunter who asked the local missionary priest, "If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?" "No," said the priest, "not if you did not know." "Then why," asked the Eskimo earnestly, "did you tell me?" -- Annie Dillard

The biblical account of Noah's Ark and the Flood is perhaps the most implausible story for fundamentalists to defend. Where, for example, while loading his ark, did Noah find penguins and polar bears in Palestine? -- Judith Hayes « less
