OK, I need to vent. I tried to casually dust off the recent news about Paula Deen’s admission to having Type 2 diabetes, but the more I think about it, the more it REALLY irks me. I mean, it should come as no surprise that she is afflicted, given the food she’s been justifying to Americans for years that it’s OK to make. However, now being faced with a serious – AND REVERSIBLE- disease, she signs an endorsement deal with a pharmaceutical company and vows to not change the way she cooks or eats. SERIOUSLY?!?!

At one point, my roommate Anna nudged my arm, and glanced up in a manner indicating for me to do the same. I looked up, and how it must have looked to Jack at the base of the bean stock, I saw the two towers of the World Trade Center climbing seemingly endlessly into the sky. In that moment, a sense of awe eclipsed the talent of the beautiful dancers.
One week later to the day, I woke up to the sound...
