The Right Kind of Dead Woman (Not Any Woman Will Do)
“I have something to say about the recent Supreme Court decision that upheld the ban on late-term abortions, whether or not the pregnancy endangers the woman’s life. I’m a pragmatic contextual ethicist with a spiritual sensibility, and I cannot be silent. I cannot pretend that I don’t understand the next step in this game. If

Some Things I’m Learning About My Sugar
1) It really is better if I get up between 5-7am instead of 10-11 am. My numbers just look better when I get an early jump start on the day. I’ll test around 90-100 between 5-7, but by 10-11, my sugar’s already risen cause of the whole dawn phenomenon, and I’ll come out at 130-160(!).

Temp work until 12:30 today, followed by one interview at same place I’d been temping that’s looking for somebody to assist one of the investment brokers. Bike ride home, lunch, bus ride downtown for second interview for a receptionist/project assistant position that’s got a commute out to fucking Springboro and a 7:30 am start time.
How Did I Get On This List?
“Occupation” is turning out to be one of those stories that, like “Genderbending,” I didn’t realize anybody actually liked, read, or cared about until a year after it was published. Now Occupation’s on a “notable stories of 2006” list and reprinted in a Year’s Best SF. And, to be honest, of the three stories I
