The one we did last involved "brush pens" which might be what you are talking about?

That sounds right (I just went out, so i can't check the actual name). I love them.

Nature journaling sounds cool!

Steph, I hope it's as smooth a road to pain free hipdom as possible.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yay, Reuben and I hope the pain relief is immediate and thorough

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I saw my doctor about my hip, and she said it sounds like a labrum tear,

Good job self-diagnosing, bio-medical editor!

and the next step is an MRI, and presumably after that I see an orthopedist. At least if I need surgery it would be arthroscopic.

Dang, your household is really getting hit with the surgical repairs this year. Have you considered asking for fewer medical emergencies?

In the meantime I have steroids, which should help the pain, and I have an excellent Reuben for lunch.

A round of steroids and reubens for my friends!

I have boxed up three (3!) whole boxes to mail, and am about to traipse off to the P.O. Mail often gets bottlenecked at the getting it in boxes and addressed stage, so this is a minor triumph.

Damn it, I knew I forgot to do something! Maybe I can fix that going forward.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Fun fact: Seems you can replace a failing heart valve on a 77 year old woman with stage 4 cancer with barely an incision and have her walking around a few hours later.

Well, next week. That's next week.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Aw man, now I want a Reuben.

Living in the future is kind of amazing!

It was REALLY good.
