bloggity blog blog
Well, this is probably my last post on this blog for a while. The counter says that I have 3 days left until I leave for Kenya! so, I'm packing my Tevas and getting ready for adventure. Yes Travis, I said TEVAS. Like a guy who wears Crocs has any room to mock...

World Refugee Day
It's hard for me to imagine what it would be like to not have a permanent home. Even though I felt that way in that I've moved 13 times in the last 10 years. But, my moves were voluntary and I've still had fairly permanent living conditions in between those moves. Today is a day when we are reminded to think of those who have been pushed away from their homes without choice and forced to take on a nomadic lifestyle in a foreign land.

Smiling
5 Things made me smile today.
1. Singing along with Yellow Submarine, in the car, loudly.
2. Getting back a report with a lousy grade and knowing that the prof thinks I'll be a good clinician anyway
3. Chatting on the internet with the kitten sleeping on my shoulder.
4. The close-talker on Seinfeld.
5. The beautiful coyote passing through my lawn this morning.

Just for Beth
Beth keeps messaging me about the cool thunderstorms they're having in NE. Since I live where the locals are proud to inform me that they don't have THOSE... I gathered a special collection of Jewish curses for her...
So, here's to you Beth....
May your daughter's beauty be admired by everyone in the circus.
May you grow two more hands to scratch all your itches.
May you back into a pitchfork and grab a hot stove for support.
May you have lot of money, but you should be the only one in the family with
it.
May you have twelve healthy children.
And then may someone give one of them a whistle.
May you sell candles for a living and then may the sun never set.
