The Very Rich Hours of the Lambrights

Nicole got discharged from St. Mary’s yesterday.  In the end, the tests revealed no clear reason for her symptoms.  She is taking extra iron supplements to help maintain her hemoglobin levels and some medication to calm her stomach down.  She will also be on a soft, bland diet for awhile.  Nonetheless, it appears that the [...]

OK.  I misunderstood when I wrote that Nicole was getting both a colonoscopy and an endoscopy today.  It was just the endoscopy.  And that test didn’t show anything conclusive.  So tomorrow, they will go ahead with the colonoscopy at 10:00.  Hopefully, she will be discharged after that but more tests will be needed if nothing [...]

Step #21 of the 23 Things on a Stick program concerns social networking sites other than those we’ve already examined. I read the two articles and didn’t find the one on Gather very convincing. I think that LibraryThing has already locked up the market for book lovers pretty effectively. I also kept [...]

Step #20 of the 23 Things on a Stick program concerns libraries and social networks. I just joined Facebook and have exactly one friend. I’ve also joined one group. So I’m not a rabid social networker but I am learning my way around.
The role of social networks in libraries [...]

Step #19 of the 23 Things on a Stick program concerns podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for while now and usually subscribe to them through iTunes. It’s not a perfect solution but I have an iPod so I more or less have to use it.
I’m subscribed to a number [...]
