Happy Solstice

Jun 21, 2009 09:22

Today is Summer Solstice.....maybe it will not rain.  It is also Father's' Day. 
Obviously commemorating the link between men and the lighting of ceremonial Summer Bonfires.. just here in America we usually build them smaller and top them with hot dogs and burgers.

TCBY is offering free "ice cream" (yogurt) for Father's Day.

Scientists say they have found a new gene link for Rheumatoid arthritis.  Hopefully this will lead to better diagnoses, prevention, and treatment at some point.  it is a not uncommon gene mutation, so it does something other than just cause RA.

i am going out to visit my mom and dad today.  it is not the big family gathering we were expecting, since mother (who has Rheumatoid Arthritis) has been ill.  there is some concern that one of the medicines she is on for her RA has caused some lung damage or etc...  recently she had some serious coughing and problems and had tests and doctors visits and etc.            anyway she is a bit better than yesterday when she canceled the get together (we WERE going to have Fathers' Day, Mom's Birthday, and my Brother's wedding anniversary all in one, this has been postponed to next week). so i will post about the event and general updates later when i get home.

ice cream, parents, rheumatoid arthritis, summer solstice, fathers' day
