Whole Women’s Health-Twin Cities – the clinic where I escort – is holding a call for volunteers and escort training tomorrow morning. This will be our second open call, and unlike this past winter, the weather will actually be above freezing!
Some of the Whole Women’s Health clinic escort team.
If you are interested in volunteering with the clinic as an escort – or maybe you have an interest in getting involved in other ways – come on down to Whole Women’s Health tomorrow morning at 7am. There will be coffee and donuts (first come, first serve), a Do and Don’ts of Clinic Escorting training, and a then a chance to observe on the sidewalk and have antis lecture you on the evils of abortion!
Now who doesn’t want that?

From Erin in Rockville, Maryland:
My scooter used to be my daily ride. I miss it dearly.
From Mom in Hagerstown, Maryland:
Me in front of the Hogwarts Express!
From me in Minneapolis, Minnesota:
Valleyfair, the local amusement park, does a Halloween theme in September-October every year. The black hearse parked outside the front entrance doesn’t look quite as spooky in the daytime.
I'm coming to Oz!
The most amazing thing has happened: I’ve been asked to go to Australia for work! Work-covered plane tickets! A chance to meet new people in my company and customers who use our products in a different geography! A chance to work and temporarily live in a radically different location! It’s like winning the lottery – except still having to work.
I leave Minneapolis on October 31st (no Halloween parties for me *sniff* I’ll get over it BECAUSE AUSTRALIA), and I’ll be all over the place for two and a half weeks: Melbourne and then across to Western Australia to work in Perth and Kalgoorlie. I’m thrilled to be able to represent my company, and to see different parts of a country that I never imagined I would be able to visit any time in the near future.

Dammit, Justice Scalia.
Last Wednesday WashingtonTimes.com reported on Justice Scalia’s recent speaking engagement at Colorado Christian University. And boy did he have a lot to say. From the Washington Times:
“I think the main fight is to dissuade Americans from what the secularists are trying to persuade them to be true: that the separation of church and state means that the government cannot favor religion over nonreligion,” Justice Scalia said.
“That’s a possible way to run a political system. The Europeans run it that way,” Justice Scalia said. “And if the American people want to do it, I suppose they can enact that by statute. But to say that’s what the Constitution requires is utterly absurd.”
Ascuze me?
Boy Scouts Science, Girl Scouts Sparkle
So this was shared with me today via Facebook:

Surely the rest of the Girl Scouts science classes must be on the next page of the pamphlet, right?
