Ouch. This guy's a fantastic vet. He talks to my dogs the same way we do. He's been a little stressed out lately, so has been less personable, but there's been a lot of pets in the office which makes for high stress.

The first vet we tried here seemed not to want to get his clothes dirty, and would barely touch my dog to examine him. We haven't been back.

And here, I thought you were gonna have Mexican food before your trip.

And we have a winner.

I'm sitting in the exam room crying. Ottis has been with us for 9 years and I really don't want to admit he won't be with us for another 9. Usually I can handle these things, but for some reason this morning I can't. Another client asked if I'm ok as we left. I will be. I sat with Ottis in the car before leaving (before I get on the road I'd like to be capable of driving) and she came over to give me a hug and say she understands how hard it is.

The kindness of strangers undoes me every time. I can handle things (eventually) but when someone's nice to me? I'm a basket case.

Back to your regularly scheduled nonsense.

((((HUGS)))). I completely understand.

I saw Tug McGraw sweat live and in person a few times. At least I assume he was sweating under the flannel in the New York humidity.

Pavarotti sweats. He's a hard working man.

My wife's family was friends with the founding music director of the Pacific Symphony. Every time he conducted, he would drench his tux. I would venture that everyone in the orchestra sweats as well.

Dancers, of course.

Every play I was ever in, I sweated. Sometimes right through my dance belt. Didn't stop some of them from being crap.

I don't think sweat is a meaningful variable for artistic decisionmaking. Maybe it's a fringe benefit.

Whoever you are, GIVE UP and leave a message. I'll call you back when I'm not at fricking LUNCH! Sheesh!!!

And do you like me have caller id? So you can see that its the same number over and over?
I have tendancy to be on the phone with someone, with a legit question, and I'll be danged if someone doesnt call over and over, no vm, up to six times while I am on the phone!

One New Years Day I had 10 missed calls between my home phone and my cell phone from my parents (and there was not an emergency). My dad said they called once on each phone. Uh huh. I saw 3 of them myself (cell phone, home phone. 10 minutes later repeat). No voice mail.

Fringe benefit. Definitely.

No caller ID. We have one of those big switching systems in our building.

But I did find out that it was a co-worker. I asked her why she kept calling when she knew I was at lunch. Her response was that she had a question that she needed answered, and that if she kept calling I might pick up….

annoying by design is even worse.
