I volunteered to write a story to be included in a collection of “joke” stories by other medical bloggers. Our instructions were simple, but included the fact that it had to relate an encounter of some kind (not necessarily between people) and, “Make it cheesy, cheesy, cheesy! We want drama! More drama than that!” […]
See you on the flip side. Things were too quiet anyway. It’s like the whole world was (is) on vacation–no comments, hardly any traffic…a good time as any to just go home and be with family for a bit.
I just got home having spent $450 in auto service. I went to get my shocks changed, which I’ve never done on my 7 year old truck. With the roads here, you can ruin a suspension quickly, and my suspension was already shot before I got here. I was expecting pay a […]
A week ago, I made an open request to anyone wishing a to help with a general Q&A to help me build the “About” part of my site. I had intended to write the responses over the weekend, but internet and power outages (thunderstorms) kinda had me off schedule. To date, I […]
It’s my first Father’s Day and I’m alone. I’m not doing anything socially (although I did help some friends study physiology and histology yesterday for their make-up exams this coming week), but really, I just feel like being a total couch potato.

Immunology is one of those subjects that kinda scared me more than usual. We breezed through immuno in histology doing lymphoid tissue […]
I don’t eat fish quite as often as I should, but today I resolved to make a nice fish dinner. I just got done eating it, and I’m rather pleased w/the result, so I’ll share my impromptu recipe (quantities are estimated since this wasn’t planned):
Ginger Garlic Sesame Fish
filets of tilapia (or any other medium-flaky […]
OK, I’m totally ripping this idea off from Punchberry who posted a similar query to her readers a couple of months ago. I have been struggling to [re]write the “About Us” section on the site to give readers a bit more info about me, some background info that helps ppl understand where I’m coming […]
Right now Mexico is playing Iran in the opening games of the FIFA World Cup. They’re playing in Germany, but you think they were playing in the soccer stadium down the street, people are yelling so loud. As I was making a late breakfast, I noticed a lot of yelling and hollering from […]
