Happy Independence Day, everyone. We hope you can spend it with family. As we have no close family, we intend to go out to lunch and just enjoy a meal cooked by someone else. Be safe, be happy, and enjoy the day. Sign in to see full entry.

Update
It will be hot again today, but I knew what I was signing up for when we moved here. Thankfully, the humidity will be a little lower. We got a call from the doctor's office this morning with the results of Lisa's EEG. They told us there was a "minor abnormality" in the white matter of her brain (I... Sign in to see full entry.

The wife and I went to the local small-town carnival this weekend. I asked her if she wanted to go into the crazy house. She shrugged and said, "why don't you save the money? We can be home in less than five minutes." Sign in to see full entry.
A Taxi Kind of Day
Some days I have to convince myself that I put up with the 98-103 degree temps and the 95% humidity to not have to put up with temps of -25 in the winter. It was beastly hot yesterday, and today is already on its way to hitting the 100-degree mark again. The best thing we can do right now is limit... Sign in to see full entry.

It was a long day yesterday, but we got a number of things done. A typical four-hour drive home took six hours due to the extremely heavy number (and extremely stupid) of people on the road. I've driven in Cincinnati, NYC, Atlanta, Miami, San Fran, San Jose, LA, and a number of huge cities, but... Sign in to see full entry.

We made it to our destination. On the way down here on i-75, we were in the middle of a massive crash bang and boom, but we came out of it untouched by some miracle. There were a lot of cars banged up, but our car never got touched. I'm hoping to be on my way back by no later than 11:00 tomorrow... Sign in to see full entry.
We are packed and about to head out for an overnight stay several hours from home to visit a mutual friend who is in end-stage cancer. I intend to leave her home around 11:30 tomorrow to head home, and with any luck, we will be home at about four in the afternoon. Of course, tomorrow starts the big... Sign in to see full entry.

It's almost 10OM, and so far, we have heard nothing. The wife & I will be on the road by mid-morning to visit someone critically ill and not given long to live. We have known this person for a long time and decided we owe it to her to take the trip. I will try to make my morning posts, but my Friday... Sign in to see full entry.
As of 9:45 this morning, we haven't heard anything from the hospital about the tests Lisa had Monday. I hope to get a call today so we know how to proceed. I don't expect to get bad news, but you never know... so we wait. If anything pops up, I'll let you know! We're going to have highs of 98 to 103... Sign in to see full entry.

We had a quiet night, and I think we slept well all night. The wife is still in the bedroom, but I think it's more due to the high humidity in the air, and there is a small air conditioner in our room to help us sleep at night. I've been getting emails all night from the Weather Channel telling us... Sign in to see full entry.
