ARCHIVES - 1996 to FOREVER

Not that I mind.

If my life were shortened by five hours for every hour I spend with him, I would consider that cheap. And the same with Tyler, of course. Double the price with them together... and that's probably accurate, given recent history... I'm thinking of a day in Galveston....

I must admit... this entry isn't being written on the labeled day. Nope, when JD and I were done talking and playing last night, I was done, done, flat-ass done. I thought about writing, I thought about bed, and the bed won hands-down.

Work was busy early, the machine went down and we were two hours behind before we were able to do the second patient of the day, but we got caught up pretty quickly.

There were only three of us there, but as a team, we are simply awesome. A machine for producing quality CT images, yes we are.

We were so caught up that I was able to leave at 14:00.

Yep, we only had three more scheduled patients to come in, the ER was empty and no orders from the floors. Well, you know me, I saw my opportunity and I split. My co-workers understood and had no abjections, of course, and I do the same for them when it comes up.

I was really hoping to have an evening with Mom, the four of us going out to eat and then just hanging out, but it was not to be... Mom was pretty peaked from the day before, when she'd been to KC to an art museum with a bunch of other retirees... on a bus. She sounded so tired that I didn't even mention it to her.

So JD and I played with software, and got a coupla programs going, but we mostly talked... and talked and talked.

Went to Taco Tico for supper... and sat there and talked... and talked.

JD and Tyler want to go to DC when I go see brother Dan next time... I would drive, they would fly. I think that would be so great! But I have to check with Dan, of course.

JD and I came home and did some more software stuff, and talked more, and then I started zoning out, and that's when this story ends...
