Hell Didn't Exactly Freeze Over

But it sure did get chilly in Seattle a couple of hours after NAMI-Greater Seattle gave me that little Lilly-sponsored award the other day and rained the rest of the weekend. I don't have the program in front of me so cannot list the other winners, but myself included the emphasis was clearly on people working to make recovery happen with some profoundly ill people. Not a pill pusher among them. Lilly paid for the lunch which was grilled skinless (um, that's wrong!) chicken breast, rice and a couple of spears of asparagus. I'll have to remember that I owe Lilly a similar meal someday. The award itself is a lovely wedge of glass, tastefully done. No Lilly logo on it, sadly. It'll be interesting to see how I appear in Lilly's corporate marketing materials for the award.

And, yes, the NAMI folks clearly got the irony of me getting this award. As did all of you, and I thank you for your kind comments. Special thanks to Vaughn at Mind Hacks who did a funny post on it. I, too, love the smell of irony in the morning.

Not sure how active I'll be on here early this week, as I have quite a bit of other work to do.
