-you're too kind. not sure my posts warrant it, but i won't look a compliment in the mouth. OR WHATEVER that mixed metaphor should be.

i'm proud that earlier this week i turned a pretty straight friend onto Richard Hell, a politician's daughter, a physician who spends all her time (justifiably) hating the world because she's overworked trying to care for the underserved, but the point is she never has any fun, and generally equates fun or leisure with evil or sloth or something. As perhaps she should. i convinced her to let me play TIME while i helped her get stuff ready for a party for some activist physicians, in her nice yuppie house, and LO AND BEHOLD she REALLY LIKED IT. My goodness. I said, see? You just never know.
