On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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

It is not hot in San Francisco, but it is a blazing 68 degrees, which is hotter than normal for the City.

Once again, I am very pleased with the switch to OneMedical as I needed some routine bloodwork and I just dropped into one of their many offices, they looked me up on the computer, the phlebotomist made a good stick and I was in and out within 15 minutes. And I didn't have to make an appointment.

And the appointment I did make with my caregiver for next week was easily done online and not delayed by weeks.

I am lunching with the beloved JenK today! (Technically JenS now, or as I refer to her amongst my friends Nurse Jen.)

That which does not kill you should RUN

Yay, Nurse Jen! Is she still catching babies? That's the last I remember of her.

She went from catching babies to being an ER nurse, and is now an OR nurse. (I just watch Rushmore this weekend so I cannot help but add: "Oh, are you?" in my snarkiest tone.)

She and her husband, Matt, have been taking exotic snorkeling trips for the last several years, scooting off to the far Pacific and Indonesia to go look at gorgeous fishies. They own a cute little house on a creek in Oakland.
