Yesterday’s Visit to Dana Farber

Just a quick note:

We went in for our scheduled consultation with my oncologist at Dana Farber yesterday. 

“See you in six months.” was what she said.

We liked that.

Tomorrow is Evacuation Day!!!

Aren’t you all excited about Evacuation Day in Boston tomorrow?  Well, it really isn’t tomorrow, it’s really Tuesday but Monday’s are a much easier day to holiday and run a marathon. No! Wait, that’s Patriot’s Day.  No! Wait again.  That’s Marathon Monday. Jeeze Loo Ease!

Evacuation Day is really a disguised St. Patrick’s Day.  Though it is the day the British left Boston, rather causally in 1776 when they woke up finding a whole bunch of canons from New York pointing at them from Dorchester. It was not an official day off until 1938 when the then Celtically dominated General Court was looking for a way to get the day off. (Don’t get me started about June 17th.)

What this generally means for us common folk is I-495 will be a mess for the morning commute and I-95 for the afternoon.  Forget about I-90 from 495 to Boston for most of the day.  Come to think about it, that’s normal for a Monday any way. 

In the immortal words of the late Roseanne Roseannadanna, “never mind.”

Don’t Forget The Batteries!

When we fall back an hour tonight, don’t forget to change the batteries in your smoke detectors!

The Cross Pollinate add on is supposed to allow us to post blog entries to Tumblr using Windows Live Writer.  We did some searching and the solution seems to be to use that add-on with Ping.fm.

Attending a Class

There were nine people in the class I taught today.

They were all there because they had to be.  I see this a lot.  My goal is, by the end of the class to see they are all glad they came.

I can honestly say my mission was accomplished.

 

Next week I will be on the other side.  I have to attend a three day class.  I can’t say I am overly eager.  I hope the people who teach will have the same goal I have and accomplish their mission as successfully.

Another Delete Notice


As I mentioned on other blogs, I thought the revitalization of this blog via Android apps would stop the deletion but here they go again sending me a deletion notice.

 

What's up with that?

I noticed as it fluttered by, a tweet from one of the 1888 people I follow saying: "LiveJournal notified me they deleted my blog. I didn't know I had a livejournal blog."

This is understandable.  The point of the Famous Grazing blogs was to discover and use all of the available methods to throw a blog up onto the Internet.  I think we stopped at a dozen. This was not because we ran out of methods but we ran out of ways to include the word 'grazing' into the titles.

There is a list posted of all the Famous Grazing blogs, but I wouldn't be surprised if we left out a few. This would especially be so for those who suddenly inserted charges to create and post the blogs.

I wonder if LiveJournal will post a list of all the blogs they erased?

Precilla, Queen of the Desert


Just saw Precilla, Queen of the Desert with family & friends. The highlight was my son being brought up on stage to join the cast in the Thank God I'm a Country Boy number. 
It's his birthday and we could not have arranged for a better present.

The Android LJ App

This is our second attempt at using the app to post on our sadly neglected LiveJournal blog.

 

We can blame Facebook - we can blame Twitter but truly we only have ourselves and the New England Patriots...  Okay not then, just us.

 

Now that we have this what appears to be wonderful app, perhaps we'll be better.

 

No promises - but we will try.
