Joe (Tom’s stepdad) is getting his new knee tomorrow, so please say lots of prayers for him and the doctors. It’s been a horrendous year of recovery and frustration for him. He had a clean-out surgery a few weeks ago that was luckily successful so that he would be able to get the new one [...]

My new favorite commercial
Turn the sound up, and join me in loving the stain’s “noooooo” at the end.
In memoriam
My grandpa passed away this morning. He has been through more illness in the last 20 years than any person should have made it through - heart attack, multiple bouts with cancer, and a stroke 2 years ago. I think he survived it all because he was just that stubborn.
He was an incredible man. He [...]
Maybe I’m a bad American, but…
John McCain kind of creeps me out. He looks like a garden gnome, one of those that you can dress up with the pointy hat. I’ve realized that I hate, no, HATE political speeches.

Getting ready for a crazy week
After visiting my parents for lunch (they both have birthdays this week) and working for 6 hours, I’m prepping up for what will be an insane couple of weeks. Tomorrow morning, I have a meeting with a new rheumatologist who I’ll hopefully like more than the other one who didn’t listen. Then I have meetings [...]
The great turtle rescue
Big drama at our house this morning! A friend of ours was staying over and went for a run. When he came back into the house, he said that there was a turtle on the neighbor’s driveway. We went outside, snapped a few pictures (ha! Get it? It was a snapping turtle!), and luckily some [...]
