Ceazer, Almost MD


We decided to have an impromptu White Coat Ceremony for Ceazer the other day.
He's growing up so fast!

Happy 24th Birthday, Heather!

I love birthdays. What a great thing to celebrate- someone's entrance into the world. I like all the bright colors that come to mind when I think "birthday," and all of the traditions that I'm so glad my family passed down. I'm having fun introducing Heather to some of those traditions, as well as putting our own twist or style on something in order to make it more "our own."
I've never been big into buying lots of stuff, but this year Heather needed some things that she's been so patiently doing without.

She's had a bright blue office chair since her Freshman year at Auburn. What little padding that thing might have once had is long gone, and you might as well be sitting on a swiveling wooden board with wheels.








So now she has a fancy-pants leather chair that will cushion her butt for hours while she writes paper after never-ending paper.

Also, back in May her digital camera decided to drink some water while we were at the beach, thus leaving her cameraless to take pictures of the puppies and the fat husband! I got her opinion on lots of different cameras, letting her think I was just curious about a possible camera for Christmas. I really threw her off when I went to Toys R Us and told her that her presents were all in the really big bag (I didn't lie, because the small BestBuy bag was inside the gigantic Toys R Us bag).

So, now she can point and shoot to her heart's content!

We're winding down now, but the party decorations are still up & the balloons are shouting "Happy Birthday" with all of their Mylar magnificance.

24's a nice number. See you there in six months!

Drug Particles Found in Air

From August 1,2007 "American Family Physician" journal:

Is it love that's in the air? No, it's cocaine, marijuana, caffeine, and nicotine. Researchers sampled the air in areas of Rome and Taranto, Italy, and Algeria, and found particles of caffeine and nicotine suspended in the air of each city, as well as cocaine and marijuana in Rome. The highest concentration of cocaine (i.e., 0.1ng per m3) was found in Rome during the winter. The reseachers note that these results indicate how widespread the consumption of these substances is and how they remain in the atmosphere. Although the amount of drugs found in the air was minimal, even small concentrations of pollutants in the air can cause serious health problems.

Blazers in for quite a season


"The Blazers start out with an extremely difficult back-to-back at Michigan State and Florida State, and then play three straight conference games against Houston, Southern Miss., and East Carolina. It could result in an 0-5 start, which would doom the Blazers.

UAB, from their coach to their players, simply do not appear to have enough experience to compete in the C-USA this season."
