It’s a grey, sometimes rainy day today, so it’s fitting that I stumbled across unfortunate bit of research on Reuters. I’ve known for a while that I’m likely destined for a future with heart disease, but its still unsettling to see it portrayed in such stark terms. I lost my last girlfriend in large part due to my inflexible insistence on rigorous daily exercise. I wish I could send this link along for her to look at – it’s the reason why I’m so intense about it.

The only thing I can ask of folks reading this is to vote for candidates who support stem cell research and aren’t encumbered by reproductive issue-related policies. At present the stem cell research serves as the most promising research in the quest for a cure. I’m fortunate to be young enough that I can still hope for this – but only if enough folks vote on my side of the issue 😉
