Apparently, a little brown book by two researchers called “What’s Your Poo Telling You?” is making a bit of a splash. Not a plop, plop, constipated splash, but an elegant high-fiber “swoosh” splash that Olympic divers practice for years to attain: Poo and your health | Salon Life The moment is ripe to come clean about our inner workings, say coauthors Sheth and Richman, who met when they were undergraduates at Brown University (where else?). Sheth, along with other collegiate pastimes, developed what he calls the PQI, or Poo Quality Index, that he and fellow students would use to compare…

I wish the disloyal opposition of the Episcopal/Anglican flavor of church would take note: The Lead Marking the annual Palm Sunday celebrations and the start of a week-long visit to the Holy Land, Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori preached March 16 at St. George’s Cathedral in Jerusalem at the invitation of Bishop Suheil Dawani of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem.

There are a number of my co-workers that need to be reminded how to properly take a phone message: Send an email.  Send an email. Don’t get up, scribble an illegible message with no date or time, walk all the way over here and drop it on my desk where I won’t see it and it gets covered up.  Put that little pink pad/tiny little sticky note/random torn-off scrap of paper away; send an email. It really irks when someone calls repeatedly – if I don’t answer, either I’m on a call or away from my desk. And then they…
