Doc, holidaysBy Robin Abrahams
09:52 AM
Just got off the Peter Blute show on WCRN 830--what a fun gang! Peter's a really great radio host. Though that "50,000 watts of truth" tagline continues to amuse me. Who knew truth was measured in watts? And what is etiquette measured in? Ergs, perhaps--as in "Erg, I've got to write those thank-you notes!" I'm going to be doing regular biweekly appearances on the show, so stay tuned here for more details! Also, a reminder that I'm still looking for medical questions for an upcoming issue. Got 'em? Send 'em! And I'm sure many of you will have holiday-related questions (the season's a minefield of potential etiquette disasters!)--if you do, you'll want to send them in early. There won't be an edition of the magazine on December 23, and we usually work pretty far in advance. So if the holidays are already on your mind, it's not at all too soon to share. Questions as always can be sent to missconduct@globe.com. |
