Freakonomics

by Megan M. on May 31, 2005 (Blog) |

I’m currently listening to Freakonomics, by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner. Quote 00:29:27: “Morality, it could be argued, represents the way that people would like the world to work, whereas economics represents how it actually does work. So far, extremely entertaining (and madly informative in all kinds of neat ways).

Moths to a Flame

by Megan M. on May 23, 2005 (Blog) |

I drove through Youngstown again today on my way from Austintown to Warren and found myself drawn again out of curiosity to the site of yesterday’s fire.

Yes, I did realize that I never followed up on my Dad’s situation in any sort of organized entry. (Not on any blog, in fact!) And that’s bad of me, and I’m going to remedy it. Tomorrow. Okay, I’m kidding. I’ll remedy it now. Dad is pretty much fine, though he’s still recuperating and is [...]

Warm Springs

Today with my mother and grandmother I watched HBO’s film about Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the beginnings of the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation, the first warm water rehabilitation facility for polio patients. There was a great deal of walking and running imagery all through the beginning of the movie was very poignant (of [...]
