Well, I guess the huge salad, avocado, lentil stew, and iced cream yesterday was too much for me. I was up half the night with diarrhea (TMI?), and feel like a zombie today thanks to the lack of sleep, DST change, and dehydration. J and I are meeting S after work for happy hour today, so hopefully I can hang on long enough to have a beer and some non-spicy/greasy food. Not a good start to the week!

One bit of good news today: environmentalist and awareness of global warming appears to be increasing among evangelical Christians. An article in Saturday's Washington Post described how a prominent evangelical organization has embraced environmentalism over the objections of some of the more conservative preachers in the group. What caught my eye in the article was the use of the term "creation care" as a Christian-oriented environmental catch-phrase, which I think is a stroke of pure genius by whoever came up with it. It gives them the cover, I think, to embrace environmentalism without all that messy science and evolution stuff. Obviously not the way I view things, but the more unlikely allies we can gather, the better. Next time I chat with my dad, I'll try out that line.
