Battling the nausea
Man may not be able to eat on bread alone, but when you’re battling nausea from cancer, getting down a roll is an accomplishment.

Challenger
One of my earliest memories was the Challenger explosion. I was in first grade. I remember seeing a teacher running into the lunchroom and I knew right then that something bad had happened.

We wrestled with it for days, and we both agreed that the two are not mutually exclusive -- or was it inclusive -- that’s the problem; it’s not exactly what any message conveys; it’s what is conveyed and at what time. If there’s too much input, then the output is changed. Another friend would say that this is reflective in the mentally ill; too much stimuli for one person can produce futility and confusion; to another it is a breeding ground for creativity.
