Urgent request from Tim Janus
From the latest entry on The Whaler’s blog:
A message from Tim Janus.
I want a kidney. Not for me. Not for dinner. But for my mom because hers are failing.
You can help if you pass this information on to people you know or if you’d consider undergoing laparoscopic surgery* to donate one of your kidneys. First, however, it’s important that you understand that Transplant Ethics and Law require that neither I, nor anyone, give you anything in return for your generous intention and the gift of life you are giving when you give your kidney. Your transplant expenses would be covered, but the gift must be freely given.
My mother is a good person, a caring friend to many and a therapist who helps others cope with life’s challenges and make positive changes in their lives. I can’t begin to adequately express my admiration and love for her. It exceeds anything of which many of you would think me capable. Now she needs a living kidney, and neither my sister nor I are good matches for her.
To be a donor you need to be a generally healthy adult with Type “O†blood, who has not had any of the following health problems:
Cancer
Diabetes
Elevated blood pressure (although elevated cholesterol may not be a problem)
Serious heart problems, such as previous heart attack or use of stents.

The Whaler sails to Miami
The Whaler has his first new entry in over two months. The topic is Eater X’s performance in the Miami Pretzel Twister contest:
As the contest began and the eaters dug in, Eater X took a curious tack: he untied each of his pretzels, wasting precious time. And when the dust had settled and the food had been chewed and all the pretzels counted, Eater X had finished a distant second to the winner, Joey Chestnut. It broke my heart, it turned me red and made me want to break things.
