Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm trying to imagine what "airway fire" means and realizing I probably shouldn't be.

Pretty much what you're imagining. It was during a laser procedure to remove a cancerous lesion from the vocal cords.

NOPE NOPE NOPE.

(The title of this article is "Lasers and Losers in the Eyes of the Law" -- it's about malpractice suits due to laser procedures. The titles usually don't even try to be funny/cutesy, so I gotta give them points for this one.)

Oh dear.

Cannot eat pretzel chips and listen to a telecon at the same time.

Earthquakes, airway fire, and pain. Oh my.

I'm baking some muffins in my new oven! And was able to find everything I needed in the kitchen on the first shot. I even got a load of dishes running in the dishwasher. I feel fairly accomplished for only being awake for a couple of hours. Oh, and work. I'm working too...kinda.

Nice work, Suzi!

I'm so bummed. The snow was all gone yesterday, all of it! And now we have a good two inches again, and it's STILL SNOWING.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

"Airway fire" is way more scary than today's earthquake, and for that I am grateful. We live not far from the epicenter, but what with being in bed when it hit and living in a single story house, it wasn't bad at all.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Congrats Suzi!
