The air quote potluck…

March 31, 2008

Today’s “potluck” is super-sized. Guaranteed to cause artery cloggage and heartburn. Sounds super great…like you want more? Yeah! It’s double the fun “potluck” day!

Rhett(2) woke up 3 days ago speaking in complete sentences. It wasn’t that he wasn’t talking. He would jabber on through binkied mouth in phrases and repeated words about 20 % distinguishable to the non-relative ear.

I see dead people and monkeys and George Clooney…

March 21, 2008

The first summer of physical therapy school is a big deal. It is THE summer of Gross Anatomy. Every morning was a four hour lecture. Every afternoon was a 4 hour cadaver lab. It was intense. It was stressful. It was fascinating. I soon found that I loved the art of dissection. I loved the [...]
