This is really interesting…

Just got back from a great trip to Boston. Heather did indeed graduate, and Paul Revere does indeed not live in his old house anymore. Boston is an interesting/cool city, definitely different (i.e. felt smaller) than I imaged though. The only thing I would recommend is working on their street names – “Pond Street Place Private Way” seems a tad unecessary, especially if you are going to throw a little picture icon on it

Lately I’m thinking…

I had a pretty good doctor zinger the other day (I thought) – Q: “What does the head doctor say is the key to a successful hospital?” A: “Have a lot of patients”. Get it? “Patience”? Anyways, it was crickets when I said it

Shout out to…

Plantar!! Before we left I gave it some plant food (home depot…guy stuff) and watered it, and when we came back it has more life than at anytime except when we bought it. I can’t believe. The only thing I’m worried about is one of the reasons that it might be doing so well because it was hot & humid in our house with us being gone and the windows being closed for 4 days. That environment might be good for Plantar, but not for Steph, Seeley the Dog or I. I should have got a snow plant…like tundra

Lately I’m thinking…

I’m tired – I got up everyday in Boston by 8:00, which meant it was 5:00 AM in Seattle. My times are all kind of messed up now – we got home last night and I had dinner, which was midnight Boston time. I’m not sure when to eat and when to sleep, so I’m just going to try and do both as much as I can

The Soapbox:

I want a Boston accent, but I’m pretty bad it, unless I say “johnny” or “loser” to get me started correctly. Heather does a good impression, but definitely hasn’t picked up the accent naturally, and in fact seems to be going in the opposite direction based on how many times she said “Ya’ll come back now”

Shout out to…

No reader of the week as this is the last update for the week, but shout out to Heather who is graduating from med school on Saturday! (Actually I might have to change my rules of only having readers of the week on Fridays, because I’m missing 4 of the next 7, but we’ll deal with that later) Here’s a picture from graduation day at Duke 4 years ago. Fun Fact: They never remove those castle things from the field, so sports just have to play around them

This is really interesting…

I had some pretty good laundry zingers last night. First I had to hang up one of steph’s shirt whose neck is as big as a family size pepperoni and sausauge from Village Inn, so I said “this shirt is literally ‘hanging’ on for dear life”. Then I slipped a dollar in the pile of clothes and when Steph saw it I accused her of money laundering. Zing! Right? oh geeze sorry

This is really interesting…

Oh ya then I told her about the shop we ALMOST opened in college called “Soxes, boxes, and Fishes”. It’s your one stop socks, box and fish shop! She didn’t believe so I text paul. He confirmed it by guessing the name, to which Steph replied “good gosh I was actually hoping you were joking”

Current Status…

9.9 – Iced grande chai-day and I got a UW starbucks card – the barista said it was “cute” but it’s obviously bad ass. Side note, did you know there are 4 starbucks LESS than a block from my office? Anyways, I’m excited for Austin….Austin, Massachusettes

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and Safe Week(end) everyone!!
