Interrelationship

I believe it was two winters ago. I was in Taiwan having dinner with a friend and his parents. As we were finishing dinner, my friend and I were getting ready for our night's festivities. My friend's dad told us before we headed out, "Have a good time, but remember, your body is not your own. It was given to you by your parents." What a funny thing to say, I thought at the time. As I talk to my nephew on the phone, though, and hear his toddler voice, as I see my sister's features in his photos, I get this feeling that nothing could be more true. Your body, a gift from your mommy and daddy to be respected and cherished.

Buzz

The greatest thing to come from Google Buzz is the uptick in Google Reader sharing. That and the random connections that it brings. Somehow, I am following all of Chris Blattman's shared items and he's following mine. Ha.
