Ups and downs of the week.Â
 Cool cover art – This is Sarah’s most recent cover story for Bookmarks. Great art for an excellent article.
 Â
  Be it ever so humble. – Good to be home again.
   Stomach bugs- Nausea and travel don’t mix well..
  Serendipity – US Airways needed a volunteer to stay in Boston one more day and I needed to sleep until this stomach bug went away. I ended up with a free stay at a Hilton, dinner, and two free round-trip tickets on US Air to anywhere in the US. US Air got the seat they needed for another passenger. I had almost canceled my flight earlier thinking I couldn’t fly being that ill, but it would have cost me a fortune. I’m glad I waited. Funny how things work out sometimes.
    Patriots – They *might* have a halfway decent season after all, but I’m not getting my hopes up yet.
  Shapiro Center at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston – Awesome care. Super professional staff. Great facility. It’s THE place to go if you need heart surgery.Â
  Philadelphia Phillies – They’re making a series of it and showing the Rays that an AL victory in the World Series is definitely not a given. They need to take heed of the ALCS, though, and finish this before it returns to Cowbell Palace.
