Relevant to the previous entry's overdose discussion, Thursday afternoon, I saw a LFD engine and two LMPD cruisers roll onto Gray Street and stop in front of LMPHW. The engine crew dismounted, no turnout gear, and to my shame, I thought, "Just an OD case, then, no big deal." This is now normal, I guess. And this is not right ( Read more... )

Humans, man. Since my entry of a week ago, Dad has made four trips from the GE aircraft engine plant near Cincinnati to Chicago. Says he's feeling no more pain than his normal managed level, and since he's able and weather allows, he's going to make some money. He called yesterday morning, and asked if I was going to Liberty this weekend; when I ( Read more... )

This week has seen the last first day of school, at least for a while. This semester looks to have a higher workload than last, so I have to keep ahead of my assignment schedule. Couple that with the practicum requirements, and this is a very busy four months ahead. Plus job-hunting ( Read more... )

Scrubbed Friday night's RPG session in favor of more X-Wing games. Wasn't really in the right headspace and two players were out. Need to figure out how to salvage the mission the PCs are on ( Read more... )

There' ( Read more... )

It's Thanksgiving Day. I'm heading to Liberty in a few hours, timing it so I'll arrive around 2:30. Going to be a full house - Mom&Dad, me, The Niece, the visiting aunt&uncle, and my brother and his household. And the dining table at the farm is sized for six, and that's bumping elbows, and for reasons I fail to understand, Mom&Dad are wholly ( Read more... )

Three weeks left in the semester. Papers and projects are moving along nicely, and I'm registered for spring's last push for the MPH. Less than six months until graduation ( Read more... )

Louisville beat Marshall. Cards are 4-0, playing at Clemson this week. Although, UofL is ranked higher than Clemson, I can't quite get myself to believe that UofL will win. Clemson is so darn good ( Read more... )
