and wit has abandoned me...

So many things, so little time?  The past 3 weeks have been pretty busy, with a lot of celebrating thrown in.  It's been great to reconnect and travel, and also get some much needed things completed, loose ends tied up, another catchy cliche inserted here.  But yeah, that's what's going on right now.  Vague, but more to come.  Just been cranking out the writing for work and am having a sort of a brain drain (although writing here and writing for work are indeed two very different things).  So for now I'll post a photo from my most recent trip - Seattle.  I love the city, but time with friends was the absolute best part. 

Don't be fooled by her sweet looks, this girl is trouble (in a fun, fantastic, awesome way but trouble nonetheless).

If you can think of times in your life that you’ve treated people with extraordinary decency and love, and pure uninterested concern, just because they were valuable as human beings. The ability to do that with ourselves. To treat ourselves the way we would treat a really good, precious friend. Or a tiny child of ours that we absolutely loved more than life itself. And I think it’s probably possible to achieve that. I think part of the job we’re here for is to learn how to do it.

My gramps had a closet full of medical supplies that obviously wasn't cleared of expired things on a regular basis.  However, he was prepared to do surgery at the house if need be.  You never know when there might be an emergency.
