I Play Gay Sometimes

The things that come out of my son’s mouth. And by things I mean words. Crazy words. The title of this post was taken almost verbatim as a quote from him. Here is the story.
Several days ago we were watching something on TV. Some evening sitcom or dramedy or whatever. [...]

Sing, Sing, Sing!

Today was one of those non-stop days that seem to dominate my life. It was a good day - don’t get me wrong - but non-stop action (mostly of the barbershop variety) and I am pooped!
Dave had a quartet gig this weekend in Lorain, Ohio. 2 shows and an after party - so [...]

Hooray Internet

I am oh so very happy to say that I am posting this to my blog from my home. Yip-freakin-ee!
Now, once I find the damn squirrel that chewed through my DSL line - I will feel completely better about my almost three weeks without internet.
Off to surf!

Breathe . . .

Aaaaaaaah. What a breath of fresh air. Everyone made it to work today. We were not crazy busy. I was able to catch up on some work and everything. Yay.
I realized today that all I have done this week is bitch about my job. So - let’s find another topic.
TV Writers Strike. I totally understand [...]

I’m Running Out of Positive Thoughts

Okay. I have resigned myself to the fact that this week is going to suck all the way around. Guess what happened today? Yes, another Call-Off. Why can’t one of the nurses or doctors call off - because then I would be assured that they wouldn’t have me cover for them. [...]

Should Have Knocked on Wood

So, the week isn’t getting any better. It is the week of “Co-Worker Call-Offs,” only this co-worker is the lady who actually does the same job as me. This means that for most of today (one of our busiest clinic days) it was all-me-all-the-time. It certainly made the day go quickly, but [...]

Bad Combination

Mixing a Monday with a shit-ton of Murphy’s Law is a very bad way to start a week.  Co-workers calling off, busted monitors, facilities people with really bad timing.  Sheesh.  I guess that I always could take the attitude that it will only get better from here. 
Part of the problem is that I don’t work [...]

The Pictures

I will never forget the day I discovered the pictures. I can still remember it, sitting in the back bedroom at Granny’s house, going through a box of pictures I had uncovered in the bottom drawer of an old dresser. I was preparing to move in with my Granny for the summer. I had just [...]

My Kingdom for a Pointy Finger

God Bless America - the things you cannot do without your pointy finger. 
This is going to be the longest weekend on record.  Dave is gone for a quartet show until tomorrow afternoon and it is just Crazy Boy and I all weekend.  I can’t make a fist and cannot grip anything tightly with my right [...]

That Didn’t Take Long

The second day of the month and the wheels are already falling off! Not really, but holy bad luck. I find myself on November 2nd with two strikes against my two No-Writing activities.
Strike One: I have no modem at home. No modem = no internets = no posting to my [...]
