Morning sicknesses win in literature vs. a good mystery debate

I was emailing with my father the other day, telling him that J had convinced me to read "The Power and the Glory" by Graham Greene, and that it was very good, but I kind of missed my mysteries. To which my father replied: "Love, Sneak a mystery. You need it. How many morning sicknesses has Dr J had, or lbs gained during this prefnancy?"

I have to admit, for honesty's sake, that I didn't even have morning sickness, so that point is not exactly valid, but I get what he's saying, and although I don't have much of this "prefnancy" left, I plan to use the excuse to my full advantage, as in, "Listen, I know I am perfectly capable of reaching over to the other side of the bed to get the remote, but I mean, I'm pregnant, and how many morning sicknesses have you had?"

September 11

Mark Moran, CEO of findingDulcinea, has asked all of us to stop work today from 8:46 am till 10:29 a.m. today and think about, in his words, "the remarkable manner in which so many people responded to the challenge of their lives, or the certain end of their lives, seven years ago." He wrote a great post about his reasons for adopting this policy, and his feelings about September 11, on his blog, which I encourage you all to read.
