Hey, I got good mail today - money and Christmas cards are SWEET! Received a lovely Russian Christmas card from Katya (katzk) and a Christmas card with a wafer recipe from Kadri (bad_habit) - Sara (thegirlsheriff) says she mailed me something, but I haven't got it yet. This better not be like what Corey was telling me about how his mail to Jane in Taiwan got there before his package to me here, sent at the same time! Made plans with David, too - tomorrow will be sweet, since I know he's joking about a 7:30 AM pickup time. (sounds like Eric in that sense, haha)

Poo nugget for Thursday, January 15: Dr. Stool Says: Get Your Colon Checked! Colonoscopy is a very effective means of preventing colon cancer. Current guidelines recommend a colonoscopy for all individuals over the age of fifty. Those with a family history of colon polyps or cancer often require screening at an earlier age.
