A Cancer Story
Till human voices wake us, and we drown
It's an amazing story about the author's teenage bout with malignant melanoma. It's long but a great, moving read. --
Jamy An excerpt:

It was a malignant skin tumor. Upon first glance, it just looked like a birthmark or mole. But when the professor showed it close up, it had some disturbing characteristics. It had strange shading, the borders didn’t look right, it was very asymmetrical—and it looked frighteningly similar to a mole I had on my leg.

The ‘Not-So‘ Great Apple Incident
Herman’s Head
When a five-year-old starts choking on an apple paramedics are called and doctors spring into action.

I got a call from a number I didn't recognize as I was approaching Dupont Circle, only 5 minutes from my office.

There was something wrong at school.

Jake was choking on a piece of an apple.


Firewall Sudoku
Painting DC Pink
Corporate firewalls behaving badly. – (Dennis! find) It begins like this:
My world came crashing down yesterday afternoon when I was given news I didn’t want to hear. I received a message that will change how I view my day. "Shock" doesnt' even begin to express how I felt when I saw the words in front of me. To be honest with you, I’m not sure if I’ll ever be the same.

The entertaining blog, The Butterfly Network, is
