And Monday it was standing at attention, and quivering. I gotta admit, however, Monday's Senate hearing on HB954 was educational in many ways. Just like an IRS tax audit can be educational.

At one point, I could swear I saw steam coming off his pointy little head. Nearest as I c...

Well done kids, and yes I urge you to go get swabbed at Tate Center March 28th from 10 am to 4 pm to give this young lady a chance at finding that 1 in 20,000 match to help in her bone marrow battles.  The Edge of Healing
