So, the earliest that we thought Tim could be released would be Friday (and even the nurses were skeptical about that yesterday.) But the surgeon saw him today and said he may be discharged tomorrow!
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Hooray for Tim!
Laura, I gather it was cold in your area last night:
We did not have falling iguanas in Havana, but I did need to put on a light sweater to hang out outside around 11pm Monday night. So you know, I sympathize.
(I got back to NYC yesterday evening and that first blast of 15F air outside JFK royally sucked.)
Sophia, as an older grad student myself, I *SO* relate to your feelings that most of what you are learning is common sense that people should just know. Talking to other students on the Cuba trip I discovered I was the only person in the food policy class last spring who thought it was a pretty straightforward topic. (I also learned that 30 year-olds don't like it when 40 year-olds tell them to stop complaining about "getting older" but I kept doing it anyway.)

The iguana isn't dead, it's just resting!
That's a tough transition, Jessica. January and Feb are the best time for trips to a warmer climate, but the return can be kind of shocking.
I had one of those "Wow I really do get paid for this!" experiences with my job this afternoon -- driving a bunch of residents over to the Museum of Fine Arts and then gently shepherding them through a couple of galleries that were interesting and fun. My admission paid for, too!
More like actually Work-work: driving the big bus across the traffic minefields of Boston and Cambridge, but that worked out fine, too.

I saw a little note warning people not to pick up the iguanas. There was a brief mention of a man who was collecting the fallen iguanas (pretty good band name?) and putting them in the back of his pickup truck. He was driving them ... somewhere ... and it got warmer and suddenly he had a truck bed full of active iguanas. The mention was brief, so it didn't say what he did with the iguanas.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Gary got home at 2 this morning, so of course Mr. S woke up a little after 6. I went to work today, but Gary got a travel day because his flight got in after midnight. Still, he is very tired.

Sigh -- I was just looking through the old collection of funny quotes and hit a stretch where there were posts by Ginger and Connie Neil, and a response from Frankenbuddha. Le Sigh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Tell more about your trip, Jess!

The mention was brief, so it didn't say what he did with the iguanas.
The question is, what did the iguanas do with him ?
