we (scott and i) finished our project at the empire today!
scott sprang for quizno's in celebration: mmmm... toasy.
tomorrow, we're off to jm's to get things crackin' there.
that's gonna be a long job...

anyshoe, though i'm not keeping close track, one can't help (in da burgh, anyway) hearing that the stillers are rockin' their way towards playoffs. ooh ooh, where's my terrible towel?! [pronounced /TRRBL TAAHL/, or some variant thereof]

listen:
winter is in the air
you can smell it everywhere
frost greets me at morn'
skies sharp, cold, forlorn
but the sunsets are cool
and i would be quite the fool
to not notice the riotous beauty
that thrives everywhere to see

blah, whatever
i dug out all of my cold weather gear. ALL.
it's not unforgivingly cold just yet, but i am prepared!
just like the boy scouts say each and ev'ry day: be prepared.
one can surmount oh so many situations or difficulties with the right preparation...

so my checklists have many (several) items checked off. checklists with items checked off are both very rewarding reminders of progress and self-obsolescentizing (is that even a word? yes, i just made it up! it means: v. to make a thing obsolete through it's very functioning. so there.)
enough.

have you ever read breakfast of champions by kurt vonnegut?
you should. right now. or asap. that means As Soon As Possible. doctors use the curious term "STAT!" (always shouted) to express to underlings that tasks must be performed STASAP, that is, Sooner Than As Soon As Possible. one wonders why they call it STAT, when clearly the acronym is STASAP. i don't know.

what i do know is this: doctors can be cool, and doctors can be dicks, and you should hope that you get whichever appeals to your demeanor, because, let's face it, some people are just dicks and respond better to that.

i don't respond well to people being dicks to me, while at the same time recognizing that i'm sure i come off that way to people all the time.

i remember karen, chelynne's mom, used to always say: 'put down the magnifying glass and pick up the mirror'. the implication is we should stop criticizing others and look at ourselves (duh)

sometimes the best thing to do seems to be close your eyes for awhile.
oh, and just keep swimming...


this just in: i have new mail of interest :)
