Different views on an ordinary life.
Last time I was on vacation with the boys on the awesome horse island, we had an excellent time with relatively few events requiring medical attention outside of shell bits on ballsacks, which did not so much require medical attention as it did detailed focus on un-porcupining the ballsacks. However, on the last day the…
So I have been hoping that, over time, my elder son would gain some awareness of his strength. I figured that it arrived with great gusto and so needed a bit of settling into. Perhaps my estimation of a year or two was off by an era, as there are no signs that he is…
So on my recent excellent vacation I had a bit of a social gaffe, and by “bit” and “social gaffe” I mean glad I’ll never see those people again. We were in the only water sport shop on the island, Black Beard’s. We were restocking our sunscreen supply and also getting a water tight container…
All right, I know I am a bit obsessed at times with disliking horses but really it’s the only logical reaction to those round assed nature cars. I just returned from a vacation, well honeymoon technically but that’s a dumb word, and it was to an island of horses. I’ve been there before but the…
One thing I love is accuracy. I mean it’s a moral imperative for me. I struggle mightily not to point out people’s inaccuracies because that is not good social behavior. Probably one of my greatest temper tantrum inducers is someone saying I did something or said something that I did not, because that is inaccurate….
So in spite of reinstating the blog I don’t know that I’ve done a great job of describing our current lives. Since I use this as a bit of a journal to look back on, without the implications of emoting and deeply self-reflecting so that when I look back upon it I want to retroactively…
So I can’t believe that I have never written about the Greatest Vacation Incident(s) Day ever. I mean, I’ve told a few people about it but it should truly be immortalized in ephemeral internet words for sure. Much like the waxing incident of ’13 or the waxing haikus of ’09. This story does not contain…
So one interesting aspect of my job is that I can operate in any number of the areas of the emergency room; most EDs are set up so that different types of patients go to different physical areas of the department. For instance, there is fast track, which is like urgent care. On the days…
So one thing I haven’t written about yet is the fact that I have a stepdaughter. I dislike that word, and also the word stepmom because they have some negative connotations. We’ve been discussing the possibility of new titles, like Lark and Skywriter. Or Mentor and Chaos. At any rate, the title is not what’s…
Well the symbolic fire-lighting has backfired extravagantly, as one might expect. I of course explained the fire symbolism to the kids, because we had one moveable fire pit from each household, from which we took fire and used to light the new permanent fire pit of our shared family home. See? Symbolic as hell. So for…
