day 132

It was late and I forgot to take a picture. Sorry this is out of order, I forgot.

Day 135

Harvest moon.

Day 134

Have I mentioned that I hate my commute?

Day 133

I sat on that big rock and fed the three little lady-ducks bread. They were very cute and fairly small. I think they were ducklings this spring.

Day 131

This is the barber shop I go to in Dedham. Happy haircut to me!

Day 130

When I transfer next week, I'll have my choice of three desks. This is the one I'm leaning toward.

Day 129

I absolutely hate commuting. I wish I could walk to the office. This is the rotary at exit 17 on the pike, where galen st, center st, and washington st cross I-90. It's always a nightmare.

Day 128

There's a new version of Google Earth, and it's awesome. God, I'm a nerd.

Day 127

The neighbors are starting to make me insane.

Day 126

We tried to go suit shopping on Sunday, but the super-discount menswear store was closed. While I was waiting for Nikki I noticed this VW loitering in the public lot, waiting for someone to leave so he could park. If he had pulled up six more feet, he would have realized that there was a free space hidden behind an SUV.

Day 125

This is the fun that was waiting for me when I got home from the airport Friday night.

Day 124

Here is Kara, my NUR module protege, at work. As you can see from the clock behind her, we are counting down the minutes before time to head back to Boston. For once, we had a decent sized training room, which used to be a surgical recovery room.

Day 123

This is my innovative hotel tie rack.

Day 122

Dramatic lighting from the sunset.

Day 121

Muskogee Regional Medical Center, as seen from the designated smoking area across the street.

Day 120

Welcome to Oklahoma. Sure is flat.

Day 119

On the road again
headed back out on that road again
I can't wait to be training meditech with my friends
Lord, I can't wait to be on the road again

Tomorrow morning I head out for Muskogee, Oklahoma. Watch this space for announcements regarding other potential Oklahoma travel opportunities (nudge nudge, wink wink).

Day 118

Just in case I failed to mention it before, I really enjoy grilling.

Day 117

Look at them sharing. It's heartwarming.

Day 116

Fireworks are exceptionally hard to photograph.

Day 115

I am not a winner.

Day 114

Since we've been shuffling everything around, this corner has ended up looking pretty darn nice again. Not bad, if I do say so myself.

Day 113

Yes, this is in my house. On my scanner, to be exact.

Day 112

Nikki and I went on a nice Sunday stroll along the river. This spot is beautiful and peaceful. It would be great for a picnic. Unlike the spot a few hundred yards up where we stopped to feed the ducks. Goddamn ducks. They're nothing but web-footed hooligans.

Day 111

Yes, that's a bird in our kitchen. The cardboard that blocks the open area next to one of the air conditioners came loose. This bird came in through the gap and wreaked havoc in our household. Pooping in the kitchen, hiding behind the wine rack, flying around to avaid capture. Finally, I snuck up on it while it was perched on a basket. I kept down out of sight and slowly, oh so glacially slowly, moved the basket in front of the window. My theory was that if it couldn't see me, it would think the movement was something akin to a branch swaying in the breeze. Of course, the stupid thing first tried to fly out through the closed half of the window, but after some prodding with the basket and a mop, it found the opening and escaped.

Did I mention that all of this happened before my first cup of coffee? Well, it did.
