Well, I didn’t intend to leave the blog for so long. I’ve got a couple of things cooking in the ol’ noodle, but it seems like lately, I’ve been in the mood to write long, wandering, pondering, pieces and they just don’t seem suited to a blog post.

I started writing a blog post about friendship in the adult years, but it quickly evolved into a drunken love letter to each of my friends and how much they mean to me. Wow, way too long!

I’ve also started (again) a post about my love of twentieth century linguistic philosophy and why it means so much to me. That one quickly became a meandering lecture on the history of philosophy and a collection of interesting minutae and observations about where words get their meaning, and why we should care about it in our technological age. Hoo boy! I don’t think anyone would like this but me. So for now, I’m keeping it to myself.

So, in the interest of superficial blog posts that can be consumed faster than a cup of coffee, let me at least offer these tidbits...

1. My latest CT showed a 75% reduction in cancerous tumors since I started the new drug at UCLA.

2. I was fortunate enough to see an advance screening of Toy Story 3 at Pixar headquarters last night. It was very funny.

3. This past week, a client made me a protein smoothie that was made out of raw cocoa beans and cocoa butter. Three hours later after going into anaphylactic shock complete with facial swelling and throat constricting, I learned I am severely allergic to raw cocoa beans and cocoa butter.

4. I am the owner of a new iPad (yeah me!). But I’ve been too busy to really put it through the paces yet. Maybe later today I’ll take it out for a test drive.

Well, that is all for now. I’ll be back soon.
