Tumor Alert: Just because everyone else is doing it, do not expect them to be visiting you on the cancer ward.
It turns out we are the lab rats in a true to life low level persistent radiation test. Think about it:
• Cell phones
• Wireless signals for computers everywhere
• Electricity fields from power lines we walk through every day
• Solar background radiation
It all adds up to a large experiment on our bodies ability to sustain life without going sideways and start making tumor tots.
I am cutting my use of cell phones way back -- when using them I am going to put the speaker phone on and keep the handset away from my body-- especially my head.
NOTE TO PARENTS: You just have to be taking stupid pills to let your kid talk on these things. They have a much longer life to get exposed to radiation. Just say no-- have your kids practice using landlines. Given the corporate culture where profit comes before people, consider the warning above to be the best you are going to get in America until well after the baby boomers are really sick.
Basta.

Coda -- a poem
CODA
And now I know what most deeply connects us
after that summer so many years ago,
and it isn’t poetry, although it is poetry,
and it isn’t illness, although we have that in common,
and it isn’t gratitude for every moment,
even the terrifying ones, even the physical pain,
though we are grateful, and it isn’t even death,
though we are halfway through
it, or even the way you describe the magnificence
of being alive, catching a glimpse,
in the store window, of your blowing hair and chapped lips,
though it is beautiful, it is; but it is
that you’re my friend out here on the far reaches
of what humans can find out about each other.
