Wegmans recently announced that it would offer free generic antibiotics to customers with prescriptions, following in the footsteps of other supermarket chains such as Giant and Stop & Shop. While this is a positive measure for families otherwise unable to afford antibiotics, the time and money spent on this program could be better spent preventing disease in the first place.

Kvetch: Back in Ithaca and We Are Cold!

Jan 19, 2009

In Yiddish, dank is the opposite of kvetch, and means “thanks.” Dank to Cornell for holding the first week of classes during Inauguration. Once I got past being bitter at not being able to go to inauguration and having school on MLK Day, I was able to see the positive side of things: not having two of my five classes this week because of Inauguration. So dank Cornell for keeping me in Ithaca while my profs woop it up in DC.

Both of my parents called me today. Not because they were concerned about their daughter, wanting to tell her how bursting with pride they are at my mere existence. They wanted to talk about the weather. “Oh, it’s an uncomfortable 80 degrees here, sun shining, not a cloud in the sky ... How’s it there?”

Very funny, Dad.
