I will be honest. In my line of work, I don't get many thank you's. I mostly get complaints, which makes it hard to want to continue at times. It just seems like there is always someone who isn't happy with what we do, most of the time simply because a color is not to …

What is the Chance of the Russians Attacking on a Thursday Night?
There are so many great movies out there. A lot of them from the 1980s starred my favorite actor, Tom Hanks. The line in the title block to this post was itself from one of this great movies, The Man with One Red Shoe. This week, the final week before we get bar results, makes …

The Stress I Didn’t Need Today, Thanks
This afternoon, just before we left work, I got a bit of stress I didn’t need. Let’s just say I had to call Security. It was not a pleasantry, and I don’t want to relive it or to have it happen to me or someone else again at work – ever. It scared me to …
Burned for Asking
Sometimes, during my day, I have to deal with people who are difficult. This is just part of the job. It's part of any job really.

Back to the Scene of the Crime
Today, for the first time ever, I get to sit out on our back patio and read something I want to read, a.k.a not a law school book. It feels absolutely spectacular outside, both because of my new-found freedom and because the weather is absolutely amazing. This has been both one of the coolest and …
Early Morning Surgery
First, I would never make it as a surgical nurse. I am simply not a morning person at all. About two years ago this week, Sweetie suffered an arm injury when Deena, his dirt bike, fell off his truck onto him after a long ride in the woods. He was tired, and the bile is …
What Happens in Tahiti, Well
Sunday, August 11, leaving DFW, 22:09 You know how the saying goes. What happens in Vegas stays on Vegas. Well, it is just no so with Tahiti. What happens there, you want to continue for a long time. The laid back lifestyle is just part of it. The French influences and people are another. Still …
The Smallest International Airport in the World, or at least it feels so
10 Aout 13, 19h31 Faa'a, Tahiti Nui Well, we are sitting in the airport. We have been here for a couple of hours, but that is to be expected. We turned in our rental car around 5:30pm local time, and our flight doesn't leave until 23:59. So, we have some time to spare. We took …
