My sister Liz was diagnosed with cancer while her children were still babies. At first she just wanted to live until they were out of grade school. Then Jr. High. Then High School. She did it. Rest in peace, little sister.

Rankled
Prepare for a rant. Why is is that no one knows what a "paramedic" is? Or that there is a difference between EMT and Paramedic. And that we don't appreciate being called "ambulance drivers". I mean, I know what nurses are. I have seen Scrubs, House, General Hospital, ER, and Grey's Anatomy. When someone tells me that they are a nurse, I don't assume that they are an LVN or LPN and can only empty bedpans. But I promise, when the majority of the public hears that one is a paramedic, they assume that person works for a private and just drive people to the hospital. They never think of Emergency! (Johnny and Gage), or Heroes. And they sure don't think of the new comedy Trauma. Trauma is the most realistic show ever about paramedics. Honest.

Santa
Suz and Paul brought Retta and Cliff to RBJ just as Santa was arriving via one of our new Sprinter Ambulances. The "elf" almost didn't get the door open to let Santa out, but the driver was able to bypass the security system and Santa popped out. Here are Retta and Cliff with Santa. They were the last to arrive, but Santa found their presents first!

Not The Most Interesting Man in the World...
This is what I had to send out to my co-workers to get out of an on-call obligation so that Pierre and I can take care of business:
(yes, I got it covered, along with several humerous responses)
...but interesting in his own way:
His name is Pierre.
He is 6'2" and 220
He is Argentine.
He works in the Middle East.
When he's on the rig, the rednecks call him "Paco"
He looks like he could be Middle Eastern, so he always finds himself sitting between two air marshals, when he is flying.
When he is stateside, he drives a jeep. The smallest driving mistake causes people to curse him and call him a "redneck"
Being Argentine, he speaks Spanish, but his accent is so heavy, he always needs a translator in Mexican restaurants
Liberals hate him because he is drilling.
Conservatives hate him because he is drilling, but NOT in Alaska
He has been married to me for 10 years.
We need my OCP covered on Monday, November 16, 3rd up, so we can officially part ways.
Please help, for Pierre's sake.

Dry Food
The leftovers from my deck roof made a nice portable cover for my chicken feeder, don't you think?
