Quick EP Update

No, I haven't died. But I'm still having some health issues and, despite that, have been unusually busy—doing things apart from posting that should, I hope, help the site. First off, the tooth. I'm still not sure it's right and am worried that the endodontist may have missed something when he did the root canal. Then, perhaps in some way as a consequence of a difficult root canal operation, or perhaps unrelated, I've got a pinched nerve somewhere on my left side that's running from my neck to my thumb. Part of my left arm has been numb for about a week and the other part feels like it's being stuck repeatedly with an ice-pick. To be honest, I'm getting tired of being in constant pain for the past month, but—hey—that's just too bad for me. It's not ruinous and I'll keep plugging along. So, to change the subject: I've got an overseas interview lined up for Thursday morning, which should be interesting. You'll hear more about that in Friday's show. Then next Monday morning another overseas interview with a currently serving senior UN official, which hopefully will happen as planned. And I'm very much looking forward to that. Done this week, you'll have noticed a public service podcast recorded and posted on Monday. It's proving immensely popular, btw, and to be honest I'm puzzled why I'm the only one (that I know of) to have posted it to the web. Also this week, In These Times asked me to report on a three day training seminar put on by The New Organizing Institute. Which I was glad to do. So I've been busy with that. I had a somewhat mixed reaction to the proceedings, which I'll post here, perhaps in extended form, some time after ITT gets my story. OK, that's it. If anybody knows a good way to treat a pinched nerve please let me know. Otherwise things are going back to more-or-less normal.
