Note to self: Get your schedule set so you can get out there at least once a week.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsobserver.com\/lifestyles\/sundayjournal\/\">the News and Observer&#8217;s Sunday Journal<\/a>, Susan has a short piece of fiction, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsobserver.com\/lifestyles\/sundayjournal\/reader\/story\/2095119p-8474040c.html\"><em>&#8220;Lips like Wine.&#8221;<\/em><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>In the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heraldsun.com\/orange\/\">Chapel Hill Herald<\/a> where Susan is  regular Sunday columnist, she writes of giving up sugar in sympathy with her sister&#8217;s giving up smoking.

One chastizing sweetly a Baptist preacher about his unnuanced attitude toward wine. One drunk with information about a herb that caused more than a little reaction from the FDA. Is there a mapping between the preacher and the FDA, between wine and sugar or stevia, between the first person narrator of the story and the personal journalist of the column?
