I’m not a doctor, though I’ve seen a fair share of them on TV. I am familiar with the Hippocratic Oath, the one doctors are supposed to abide by, the one that says “first do no harm.” But that’s not the oath I’ve been obsessing over lately. I’ve been overanalyzing my own Hypocritical Oath. Ya […]
I have a mental block. Scratch that. I have MANY mental blocks. But the one I’m currently fixated on is the difference between one hump camels and two humped camels. I can always remember one type is dromedary and I always assume whichever camel I see is a dromedary. But the truth is, that’s only […]
Go ahead. Zoom in on my vaccination card. You can CSI “enhance, enhance” all you want, hackers. The countermeasures are strong! Gonna laminate this just as soon as I get my second dose in a few weeks.
Thanks to dual monitors and a Diet Coke, I was able to register for a vaccine appointment this week. I was feeling an upswing in hope and emotions and like all too many of us I was restless to get out of the house once more, as if we had returned to normal… or at […]
Oh, well, double h-e-double-hockey sticks. Or I guess Double H, Double E, Quadruple Hockey sticks. Turns out the Irving Marathon was THIS morning… so not only would I have needed to get 1100 miles from my house to the starting line, I’d have to have at least once gone more than 88 miles per hour […]
Turns out my deferred race entry from Covid-19’s 2020 cancelation for the Irving Marathon is tomorrow. Barring a 12 and a half hour mad dash road trip, and ignoring all kinds of personal worries and CDC recomenndations, that’s not happening. Still, I feel dumb for having so messed up my calendar. I guess I need […]
How many half marathons must a man run down before he takes a rest day? Four. The answer was four. Just not happening today.
Every day around 9 AM I log into the local vaccine portal to see if there are appointments available for my age group. And every day I am told there aren’t. It’s early in the process and eventually the dates and time will work out. I just need to be patient. Thankfully, we have experts […]
After numerous dropped connections/denial of service attacks, and spinning dots, I was able to get to the appointment schedule. They only were offering April 3rd… and the two times I tried were already gone by the time I got to the confirmation page. Request… Denied. Please try another time. And by 9:13 AM, they were […]
Ugh. I’m sitting here at my computer redreshing my web browser in the hopes of getting into the Covid-19 vaccination registration portal. They announced expanded eligibility effective at 9 AM today so I’m hoping to get on the schedule as soon as I can. I’m having flashbacks to college days of trying to register for […]
