New From Planned Parenthood: Last night when I walking through Davis Square I noticed a Planned Parenthood logo. Since I have never seen PP in Davis, I looked closer. They have opened an Express Clinic. "A Planned Parenthood Express Center offers convenient access to a number of Planned Parenthood’s services including birth control, emergency contraception and screening for sexually transmitted diseases. Plan provides clothes-on consultations with experienced medical professionals." I think this an awesome idea! Yeah good sexual health!

Did You Know: Col. Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin ScD '63 , IM Pei '40, John Sununu '87, Benjamin Netanyahu '75, Tom Magliozzi '58 and Ray Magliozzi '72 (Click'n'Clack), and 23 Nobel Prize winners went to MIT? Check out a full list of the extraordinary people who went to MIT!

Special Note: Did you get married last year? Do you take a swallow of soda? Do you NOT have your ears pierced? If so, thanks for the VERY sweet card. I put it up by my computer to remind me how blessed I am to have friends like you. Let's catch up soon!

New York in the News: It was announced that the city of New York is issuing 1 million condoms labeled NYC to promote safe sex. They will most likely be the colors of the subway lines! (I can't find an article that mentions all of the detials I heard on the radio this morning.) And in other news, Miss Em, the stench in New York yesterday is being "blamed" on New Jersey. (the headline made me laugh)
