The title comes from a friend of mine who feels that Santorum is the best choice for libertarian in the current Republican field for President. I don;t agree and gee when I see that Rick Santorum wants to control what adult can see on the internet well I guess I just don’t see that as Very Libertarian. Continue reading
The title of today’s post is of course of the many many quotable line from Rob Reiner’s classic film “The Princess Bride.” I am applying it to the Republican Primary. After all if the man who named “Front Runner” comes in third in two different primaries on the same day is it really right to keep calling him the front runner. Continue reading
the day job has been very busy and full of work. Well that means my job is safe, but it means stress for me. Oh well I can live it with.
I’ll have a proper post tomorrow.
Today instead of going to work I went to my newest addition to my collection of medical professionals whom are looking after my health, an orthodontist. The office was pleasant, quick, and professional.
The short answer is that the orthodontist agrees with what my sleep specialist said two years ago, that my jaw is misaligned and should be corrected with surgery. My sleep specialist suggested the possibility if surgery to help with the sleep apnea, here the same condition, the misaligned jaw, is causing undue pressures on my teeth and as I age the likelihood of breaking teeth, as I did last month, increases.
I have a round of 3-D X-ray to get imaged, and a bite impression to be impressed and after that is analyzied we will know the best course of action. Depending if we can get the jaw surgery covered under my major medical to treat my apnea, it’s likely I will get that surgery. If not, we’ll make due with orthodonic work to realign my teeth and try to decrease the pressure. Either way it looks like 2012 will be another fun medical year.
Please, don’t think I am carping or complaining. I am fortunate compared to family members and friends who are suffering with far more serious issues. There is element of depression to having to go under the knife again, but truly I know I am still a lucky fellow.
In other mixed news, I have to say this was the nicest rejection slip I have gotten…
Please excuse my tardiness in responding to your manuscript – the better ones take the longest. I enjoyed reading Love and Loyalty, but I don’t feel I can offer representation at this time. The marketplace is more selective than ever and I must keep a modest list.
I have never purchased an automobile from a dealership before so Saturday was an experience and an adventure. It started early in the morning, not oh-dark early but 7 a.m. was still plenty early for a Saturday. It started that early because my sweetie-wife’s Credit 
Union was having a used car sale, 1 day only, starting at 8 and I wanted to be there when it open. Continue reading
Yesterday was long, stressful and tiring with the search for and purchasing of a new car. (A used car to be precise but it is new to our household.) It induced a migraine and left be very little time to prep for my D&D game. Thought the day ended well. I thank the game worked and I have several new plot elements moving nicely.
Today was a day spent with my sweetie-wife. We shopped, we ate lunch at a tasty deli, we procured mats for a our top protect the carpeting, and we played games. All in all a nice day.
No time for real posting, as I feared. Car shopping took far longer than I would have like, but in the end we did buy a replacement car. A 2009 Toyota Corolla that still under power train warranty until 2016, and full warranty until next March next year.
I test drove a Prius and I love how quiet and smooth the car is but man a man of my height cannot be comfortable in that compartment.
After a long day with far less water and caffeine that I normally consume, developed a headache by 3:00 pm, by 4:00 pm took 1 dose of treximet.
I have no time today for a detailed blog posting, my apologies. Saturday is going to busy too as my sweetie-wife and I car shop. See you sunday? maybe?
ON the note of posting, how have people like the new style of long posts?
So in the past I have blogged about going to a writers workshop, and man that is something I would love to do. I feel like my writing is scratching at the door and that I’ve almost unlocked it. That with just the right mix of growth and direction I break through and maybe start selling. A workshop with professionals might be the tool that would make it happen. Continue reading
