What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

In a college baseball game, the runner jumped over the catcher to avoid the tag: [link]

They showed that on the news last night. It was awesome.

So in further "I can't believe people are actually asking me to do cool things " news, I was just asked to take over the "Voices of Experience" column in the AMWA Journal, which spotlights new and experienced medical writers with interviews. I was interviewed by the current woman back when I started a few years ago, and she wants me to take the mantle.

I think you'd be a great person to take over since you have that inquisitive nature and an eye for the unusual.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Shir, does your local paper have a "Missed Connections" column? It's always kind of like that, people writing "Cute Blonde at Starbucks: Sorry you left while I was getting my order..." (I've been sort of obsessed with them for a long time...at one time, I thought I was going to write a story like that, but that was BDS...my style's...changed.)

Isn't that how Jon B. and FAQ Wife got together?

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Wow, I never knew that. Or maybe I forgot. I don't know why I like them so much...maybe the idea that one moment could change your life. I mean, without "and I woke up in the hospital" attached to it, like with some of my friends.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I forgot to take my steroid this morning. Maybe that explains the evil mood?

Not that I can think of.

I'm just crossing fingers I'll run into him again.

DJ, any news on the surgery?

TCG cracked a tooth today at work, and he doesn't have any more coverage available until July (he already used up this years worth). Some please don't let this be pricey ~ma?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Apparently she's been in recovery for over 3 hours (supposed to be 1 1/2 or so). They weren't letting her mom or her baby daddy in to see her because of pain issues. And as of 19 minutes ago there was still some sort of delay.

I'm trying to find out what's going on from her mother or sister.

I'm freaking out again though.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Ok, it looks like there was a lot of post-op pain they couldn't manage. They seem to have gotten it under control though because she's headed home.

Her sister thinks she won't take the pills they gave her. I told baby daddy to crush them up in her food.

Also her mother had this to say: " Wonder how many doctors have their patients say, "I was reading your papers online."? (He asked her if she was Type A. I said, "Ya think?" Hey, and no smart remarks about her not getting that from me.)"
