Today seemed to be a drug-themed day. Not the prescription kind, but the "recreational" kind. Everywhere I turned, someone was talking about it or writing about it. I randomly surfed to this story about a drug-addled trip to the Mellenium Dome in London. Later, a friend sent me a link to the latest site he got paid to put together - that's Safety1st.com. It's an organization that encourages parents to talk to their kids about drugs -- realizing that the kids may already have tried them. (The kids in those statistics have parents somewhere) And another friend sent me a web link to an article which I can't find right now, about a group of kids in a middle school in the southwest who got in trouble for intentionally fainting in class -- not for the attention, just for the "natural high." The girls in my middle school thought that was a lot of fun in about seventh grade. I have to admit, I never saw the appeal.

For those keeping track, I still can't read Sarah's blog from home. I'm guessing the page is too long. My computer gets a brainfreeze over it.

Books: My short story is going to be barely recognizeable when this rewrite is over.
