My least favorite patient today:

I like the guy generally but as we left the room he asked how I was doing, so I told him "Great!"

He followed up with "Yeah, us older folk need to stick together"
Dude is 77 YO ... I'm not, but now I feel as if I might be

Inspired by the posts of @bar44.bsky.social, I've realized I had slacked off (imagine that) on posting my photography.

Date night tonight

Great view of the Puget Sound

Unfortunately, due to the weather, no view of the Cascades

In the mid 80's was in a bar in Santa Monica.
Some ice cubes landed on our table from the other side of the bar
Ice went back & forth
One of us stood up, but sat right down telling us to stop

Turns out we had got into an ice fight with Lyle Alzado & Howie Long

They were actually nice guys about it
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Small odd encounters over the years

Sat with Freddy Fender, David Hidalgo and the rest of Los Super 7 flying out of San Antonio. Last minute only flight they could get thing, so we were switching around so they could sit together until we all got yelled at to sit down.

They were a hoot.

Saturday AM

Momma takes care of Boone when dad has early morning patients

Saturday, we let momma sleep in as we start the laundry and such.

Boone is not much help with the laundry

We have, as an eye doctor's office, used Calibri for years for our patient who have visual impairments.

If you are considering the font you use to save money, you are looking in the wrong places.
Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor's decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move
Rubio Stages Font Coup: Times New Roman Ousts Calibri
The secretary of state called it a "wasteful" diversity move, according to an internal department cable seen by Reuters.

I just saw a patient whom I have been seeing for 30 years.
He had been going through early Alzheimer's issues, but it is no longer "early."

I'm fairly certain he did not know who I was and had difficulty moving with a walker to navigate the door to the room. It was obviously painful for his wife

He's back

He's getting looks from our younger patients in the waiting room.

I had a patient come in dressed as Santa. Not unusual, right? Except he is a long time patient & he has worn the same outfit in June - so I asked him about it.

He replied "I like being Santa - everyone likes Santa. If I dressed up as Batman or Superman, that would be weird."

He's not wrong

Taking Boone for walkies

Someone has a lone inflatable dog as a yard decoration

Boone is not really sure this should go without comment

Boone had his first visit with a groomer

He gets regular grooming at home, but we’re working with him to get used to strangers in different settings as momma wants to have him serve as a therapy dog with visits to assisted living settings and peds facilities and such

He did great!

Last few moments of our “guy’s weekend”

Momma will be coming in from the airport in about 10 minutes

If anyone asks, he was never on the couch

Never

Boone is trying to hint there may be more important issues than unloading the dishwasher

Boone does not get Daylight Savings

“What’s this about the clock turning back? Where’s my breakfast fast”

Also, last day of morning cuddles, momma does not like him on the furniture

I have a patient who makes kilts, both dress and utility kilts.

The answer to the perennial question: He usually wears cycling shorts under them. Today he forgot and wore just boxers

I mentioned to him he may not want to cross his legs when sitting down today.

The Brownstone Institute is now on BlueSky

Anti-vax, anti-public health

First I'm going to look at the followers/following and block most of them, then

Very much needed to be said
I didn't get a picture of the best sign I saw today, but I remember what it said:

Somewhere in America
A little Hispanic girl
Is hiding in an attic
And keeping a diary.

OK, today was much better than the last two games

I don’t know who that team was Wednesday or Thursday
