Reattachments on Xmas....

It is Christmas Day and I am doing what I usually do on such days -- work in my home office, think about going to a movie, and contemplate what stores or restaurants might be open out there.... I am also catching up on my various "podcasts", especially the shorter ones from Slate.com (see the archive) which I otherwise listen to while driving to work in the AM. Several have accumulated over the past week since the wintrer break started, including an "Explainer" podcast about reattaching severed limbs. It is informative, but also one of those items you hear or read that make you feel a bit uneasy -- as if it could happen to you. The podcast reader, June Thomas, does a great job with the (un)intended and unavoidable puns. podcasts
