The Mother Load

Let me state for the record that I am a firm believer in homeopathy, essential oils, aromatherapy, magnet therapy, reflexology, chiropractic, herbs, and everything else that might fall under your "hocus pocus" umbrella. I also believe in medical doctors, drugs, surgery, and everything else that might fall under your "Western medicine" umbrella. I figure when it comes to helping people heal, we might as well use everything available.

I also have a sense of humor (shocker!), so despite my belief in homeopathy, I find this sketch hilarious. I found it on the Facebook fan page for Sole Healing Reflexology.  It's nice to see a practitioner of alternative healing with a sense of humor.  I'm seriously considering making use of her service for help in my running endeavors.  By seriously considering, I mean, I'm calling right after I click publish.

Will I go to her if I get hit by a car?  Well, that would just be silly.

Mom, today I learned budget cuts at the U have taken a toll on student housing.

I woke up this morning and wondered, as I often do, what is going on in the life of my erstwhile love, Mr. Willard Christopher Smith Jr.  A quick search of our secret communication device, I mean, the internet, produced a shocking and exciting answer.  Will Smith has political aspirations!

Okay, I know Dear Johned him in a column just before I married Richard, but you didn't really expect me to just walk away completely, did you?  Will's been in my life since I was 13.  That's a full 4 years before I met Richard.  Richard and I may share our dry wit, a comfortable friendship, a happy marriage, and a mutual knowledge of the existence of each other, but I'm sure you agree that seniority rules here.

So, according to his *gagwifegag*...well, that was unpleasant.  According to someone named Jada Pinkett Smith, who may or may not know the man who makes my heart pound, Will Smith has considered a career in politics in the past and is now strongly considering it again.  She also mentions that he has very serious presidential aspirations.

Can you blame him?  He's already had a political career, back when he ruled as Fresh Prince of Bel Aire.  There was a lot of responsibility involved in that job.  Add to that the fact that he's worked as a police detective, pulled himself up from homelessness to become a stockbroker, saved the world from killer robots, and he's saved the world from aliens TWICE.  What more information do you need?

I officially submit my name for consideration as his running mate.  Smith/Clark 2012!  It's got a nice ring to it, don't you think?

Mom, today I learned that the University of Utah tolerates vandalism of the worst sort.
