• Sat, 18:29: I've been thinking about the woman claiming an independent corporation to sell her organic food was more important than healthcare.

• Sat, 18:30: It's a fundamental confusion about the nature of "organic." Organic is a regulated process. Follow it, and it's "organic."

I cried when I wrote it. And proofread it. And posted about it. It was a sniffly morning.

Tomorrow (or this week sometime) I'm going to blog a bit about you and B and Harriet Manor, and the way that when I posted my locked message, you all sprang into action trying to figure out what to do be supportive. It's a REALLY important part of the story, since in fact we are more likely to be put in position of needing to support someone with a special-needs diagnosis than to have one for our own kids.
