Good news all around


Well, I said I have two announcements to make and that is still true, they just ended up being a little different than what I originally thought thay would be. Something I was hoping for did not quite work out, but that does not really matter in the grand scheme of things. Everything else is just happy news all around.

First of all and the most important is that we are expecting our second child sometime in June! I am still all giddy about it and I am not going to write much more than that.

The second piece of good news is that my terribly smart significant other has accepted a position with the provincial daily based out of Saint John and is looking forward to having fun with it.

And on any ordinary day this would be a great news, but today it pales in comparison:

It turns out that some chocolate aficionados taking part in a study investigating blood platelet clumping couldn't stick to a promise to temporarily give up their sweet of choice - and they inadvertently ended up doing medical science a favour.

Their dietary offence led researchers to uncover what may be the first biochemical explanation underlying the confection's effect in preventing cardiovascular disease: just a few squares of chocolate a day can cut the risk of dying from a heart attack almost in half.

So eat your fruits and veggies and have a piece of good chocolate, too.
