mine, too--although the food is like to vary, given the number of 
cooks in the house and among our friends.

Hooray for modern medicine in general--I have needed way too much of 
it to live, even to be born alive, and I was born before Rhogam was 
developed. I'm willing to bet that by Miles' time, many genetic 
mental illnesses can be detected AND corrected in uterine 
replicators. I'm doing my part in research for this detection part.

Lois, I remember the first time I had glasses as an adult, I went 
around LOOKING at things that I had previiously been unable to see 
clearly, like the blasted tiny print of the labels of baby medication 
and the pores of my skin.
