When you’re going to be giving someone an EKG, it’s just common courtesy to warm your hands up first.
My new friend, Vlad the Phlebotomist, took more blood out of me yesterday than the nice lady at the Red Cross did when I was 19 and trying to score some free cookies and juice.
Is it bad when the normal range for the results of a blood test is between two single digit numbers and my result is a rather high double digit number?
Boo has reached that age where a young bear shows his teeth to his father, on occasion. Unfortunately for him, I have bigger teeth and sharper claws.
Girlie Bear has reached that age where she has to work, pay bills, and put up with people’s crap on a continual basis, also known as ‘I’ve got my first apartment and roommates.’ I will try hard to not remind her that she only has 60 or 80 years of that ahead of her.
I’ve decided that if I reincarnate, I’m going to be a drunken reprobate in my next life. This work ethic and sense of duty stuff is killing me.

Father and son relationship.
My Dad and I bumped heads from time to time through my teen years, and the quote widely attributed to Mark Twain says it best.
“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” -Mark Twain
My Dad lived long enough to see me happily married and I wish we could have spent more of life together.

For more on the quote.
