Dancing

When i saw the first few seconds of this i thought it was kind of lame, but then i found myself starting to smile.

Fond Farewell

Some of you know that i have been doing Dr H's transcription since i left Atlanta in 2006. Well, he has decided to try a new gig that doesn't involve doctoring people's feet anymore, and so today i typed up the last piece of his dictation.

It's kind of strange to think that i will no longer have a professional connection to him and his assistant Micheal, since Dr H has been my boss for longer than anyone else (7 years!). We will, i hope, continue to keep in touch.

The picture on this post is Micheal and i parasailing in Key West in 2002, a trip the doctor took us on for Thanksgiving that year.

As much as he has made me crazy over the past seven years, he has also been one of the best employers i have ever had (certainly the most generous), and i wish him well in everything he does in the future.

Thanks, Dr H.

She & Him

So, what do Patsy Cline and Phil Spector have in common? The answer is after the jump (due to massive use of YouTube)...

Walking

I went for a walk this afternoon. More of a stroll, really, since i wasn't in any sort of a hurry. I stopped in some shops on the way, and it started raining quite a bit, but i just kept on sauntering. I finally got a bit tired and took a bus home, but i just checked on Google Maps, and it seems that i walked more than 2.5 miles.

My route was Argyle St -> Byres Rd -> Great Western Rd -> some little back streets -> North St -> St Vincent St (where i caught the bus). I tried to make a cool map showing you where all these streets are, but Google Maps isn't playing well with me today. You'll just have to look it up yourself if you're really that interested. Somehow i doubt anyone will be rushing to do so.

I just hope i managed to walk off some of that bacon & egg sandwich and hot chocolate i had for lunch...

P.S. My dissertation is up to 10,000 words (it needs to be between 12,000 and 15,000)!
