Bleck.

Monday's for me are hard day of the week. What can I say?! I did have a stellar weekend, though. I was on-call, which means I needed to be ready to come to work if a breaking news story cropped up or someone called in sick. So, I took the opportunity to watch, like, 5 hours of cooking shows I'd recorded (Alton Brown being my personal fav). And I have to be honest, it seems like every channel is running some sort of 'reality tv marathon' on the weekends. Is it just me?!

Monday's aside.. I have some interesting stories for 5pm: like using food to control the costs of medicine, just how many people in your workplace got high in the past month, and why that cold wipes you out (it's not just that your body is fighting it-- at least not according to those researchers)).. anyway, lots of stories.

And on that topic of food and medicine.. this is an excellent breakdown of some of the more popular medicines and how food interacts with them.

While you'll see a lot of drugs interact with alcohol, there is plenty of good stuff there on high fat foods, etc.

Sherrie sent along one very fabulous looking Ed as he lounges away. Can you say spoiled??
