Thanksgiving, arguably one of the hardest days when you’re diabetic. Today I had a series of lows one could only wish for on a day dedicated to eating. Hopefully I will be able to make it through the night without much more trouble!
On another note, my mom has checked our puppy into doggy daycare for Thanksgiving since we have to go out of town. I keep saying that she has taken my baby...

In reaction to last night’s debate between the Republican Presidential hopefuls:
Listening to GOP Presidential candidates talk about science is like listening to children talk about sex: They know it exists, they have strong opinions about what it might mean, but they don’t have a clue what it’s actually about.

The higher education bubble has popped →
Traditionally, Americans have firmly believed in two core investments: college and home ownership. Then the housing bubble popped. Is education next?
