As I stated last year, I’m not big on New Year’s Resolutions. I think they’re generally committed to under duress, or worse yet, under the influence of eggnog and sugar. And since no judge in the world would be able to hold you accountable for any contracts drafted by the pen of Captain Morgan or Sara Lee…

I’m spending the morning in the Oncology unit at Virginia Mason Medical Center. Don’t send flowers, I don’t have cancer. I am undergoing Remicade treatment and it is a series of 4-hour IV infusions. This takes place in the Cancer Center. While most of the patients here are undergoing Chemo, not everybody is. My roommate for this bout is Kevin.

But let me tell you something: When a fruit is being peddled like a penis-enlarging device, a “barely legal” chat line or Canadian Viagra, I’m not buying.

A lot has been made of this photo since it appeared in the September issue of Glamour. Women all over the country have embraced the image. They see themselves and their postpartum (or not) belly in it and from the sampling of letters that Glamour is sharing, they like what they see. The woman in the photo is Lizzie Miller, a 20-year old, childless model from San Jose…
