hoosgot

Based on Matt’s link to this, I’m going to try something. Sounds like a cool idea anyway. I’ll let you know. Ok. here goes:
hoosgot information on how to use a charcoal smoker for a novice Yankee who has only learned to grill this year?

2007 Wrap-up; 2008 Preview

I’ve said this a bunch of times before, but one of the great things about this electronic journaling is the ease with which one can look back 6, 12, 24 months and see clearly where one has been. My “resolutions” post from last year was impressive. As I re-read it I realized I liked that [...]

why?

Why ask why?
It’s echos of that ancient conversation Jesus had to put up with (John 9:1-3) I suppose, but it still bugs me that that is the primary response from my family of origin on this whole thing. Trying to figure out how I am to blame. Without even knowing if the doc found and [...]

updated

Hey. I think I’m getting better at the techno stuff. I just upgraded my wordpress software and only lost my blog once…and had correctly (and completely) backed up so I was able to do a restore. All in only 3 hours!
I’m feeling a little snarly today because I over-did it yesterday. Tried to do a [...]

Saturday Photo Scanvenger: “Happy”

My friend Jim in his Parpignol nose from LaBoheme.
A couple of people that usually make me happy: (well, almost always, except for when I have to yell)

And another face that usually makes me happy:

Help!! Santa brought a smoker

Cross-posted at Accidental Hedonist
Santa has a habit of bringing a cooking gadget to Chez Journey every now and again.
The first year it was a electric chicken rotisserie oven. DS2 had seen them advertised on teevee that year and just thought that we HAD to have one.
The next year, it was a smoothie maker. Which, frankly [...]

IVs aren’t my favorite part

I’m remembering most everything. Mostly because the first IV didn’t go in correctly so the happy juice they gave me before wheeling me into the O.R. just pooled up into my forearm.
But everybody at the hospital was so nice and caring. The recovery room nurse even held my hand for a little bit when I [...]

I heart you all!

Work is, as I predicted, S.L.O.W.
So I had time to call around and find a new ride for tomorrow (JRM, another nurse friend — I seem to know a lot of nurses.) And time to get a couple of people to sign as witnesses to my signature of a health care directive (because I had [...]

Merry Christmas!

Hope you all had a wonderful day.
After the Santa presents and breakfast, the boys started getting ready to go with X for the next couple of days. It wasn’t exactly in my plan but it makes sense that they’ll be staying with him tonight. But DS1 was still in the shower at 11:00 and I [...]

Welcome!

9/2/08 NOTE: Because Akismet is catching all comments as spam, I've turned it off and turned on comment modification. We'll see how it goes.

Welcome to the new (and hopefully permanent) home of This Journey. It's good to have people walking along, especially during the bumpy parts. I can be contacted at not.fainthearted at gmail dot com. Or leave a comment!
