tom wolfe, living wills, & cucumber conspiracy theories

ok, so today was amusing from the get-go......what with the lovable ob-on-call for prenatal clinic expressing concern for my child attending an ivy league school, especially after he has read ton wolfe's i am charlotte simmons which supposedly takes place on a fictional ivy campus near philadelphia that is crazed over sports.......and gives preferential treatment to athletes, frat boys...etc.......i was moved to look up reviews for this book, and found the coverage of the novel every bit as entertaining as the descriptio provided by the doc.......especially the numerous emails between 2 separate reviewers who both string for slate.com........but that had not been my intent for the day....so i busied myself with the downloading of ky's allowable living will......blank and ready to be filled out and witnessed by 2 person over 18 and of sound mind...........and proceeded to pass them out, with soft urging to make sure that family members are well aware of your wishes for end-of-life care.....this continued in between clients til after lunch....when i happened upon 2 colleagues deep in discussion about......the drop in the price of cucumbers after easter.......hmmm.....like there was some sort of reason to gerrymander the price higher than necessary before easter.....and no reason to keep it artificially high after easter..........and the discussion went on like this for long enough that i walked away without passing out the last of the living wills......cucumber conspiracy takes precedence every time.........
