Day 147
Obsessions!
I’ve got two obsessions on my mind today.
Obsession Number 1: Did you know you can get custom M&M’s with photos on them? I knew you could get custom messages on my favorite little color candies, but photos? How funny! How bizarre! Is this an example of not-so-passive aggression toward your loved ones? Or just candified, commercialized cannibalism?
Obsession Number 2: If you’re in need of a little renewed inspiration in mankind (and who isn’t?), then I recommend reading Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, A Man Who Would Cure the World. Written by Pulitzer-prize winning author Tracy Kidder, this makes-you-believe-in-heroes-again biography tells the story of physician/anthropologist Paul Farmer with an emphasis on the doctor’s pioneering work fighting tuberculosis in Haiti, Peru, and Russia.

And check out my Muddling through Middle Age blog tomorrow. I’ve got more obsession-confessions!
Meanwhile, that’s it for Day 147.
There IS something strange about eating pictures of people. Maybe if you made pictures of those you don’t like? Or things you hate? If it were broccoli pictures then M&Ms would be he healthy?!?
… or if we could put pictures of M&M’s on broccoli, would children eat their vegetables?
