Death and depressing stuff
My Einstein’s bagel has caraway seeds. And then I start thinking about pork roast with caraway seeds on dumplings… Which reminds me of most of my Thanksgivings. Remember a couple of years ago when we went up to Auntie Minnie and Uncle Tom’s?
And now Uncle Tom is… gone. He’s passed away.
Man, pancreatic cancer is a bitch. I mean, cancer’s a bitch, ( Read more... ) -
I blame John Scalzi...
Okay, I don't blame John Scalzi. He's just awesome and I want to be like him.
I met him again (yay!) at the Central Library where he was touring as part of the release for The End of All Things. At this junction I've only read one book of his. Shocker, not so much. The Human Division was a very good book that I enjoyed very much. My best synopsis ( Read more... ) -
It's been 25 years Part 5
The aftermath of My Surgery:
I heard later the fact that there had been a rivet in the lower left lobe of my lung. (P.S. When I’d been getting the X-rays, I remember somebody asking me if I’d swallowed anything recently. I had this vision of me swallowing a nut or bolt, although I’m not sure it actually happened. I was freaked out that I’d done ( Read more... ) -

COLORADO WAS AWESOME! (Tuesday)
Today: a day of travel. I got up at 5:30 this morning and had time to shower. What the heck is wrong with me? Still it felt nice to be clean. I finished getting everything together and was out of the hotel room by 6:15. I knocked on Ben’s door; no one answered. I went back to my room to wait. Finally we all were ready and so Kristin and I went ( Read more... ) -
COLORADO WAS AWESOME! (Monday)
Last day in Colorado!
Having already gotten tickets, we took the cog wheel train up to Pikes Peak (9:20 to 12:30 ish). I took a bunch more pictures on the way up... and realized i really wouldn’t want to do that drive. No Guardrails!! Otherwise it was very cool and very pretty. I think it was nice that the train didn’t go over 10 mph. I may have ( Read more... ) -
COLORADO WAS AWESOME! (Sunday)
Sunday was a relaxing day. I was a layabout in the morning, woke up to fall back asleep. I did chat with Joanna before she left to head back to the airline to head home. Loved her quote about the fact that waiting at the hotel isn’t so bad with a plug to electricity, a computer and some DVD’s and books.
I showered (before noon!!) and met with ( Read more... ) -
COLORADO WAS AWESOME! (Saturday)
The morning started with brunch at the rented house. Oh, that was delish: French toast, pancakes, fruit, bagels, OJ, coffee...
Also we got to socialize more with the group (Mark, Luke, Kristin, Ben, Easter, Josh, Caroline) and James and Jamie. Yay! They quickly left for Denver and a brewery tour somewhere.
We did some downtown walking again. We ( Read more... )
