Good morning Thursday


Sitting on my swing in the backyard, relaxing and enjoying the tranquility of the late morning. Something I don't get to do very often, I'm usually at work.
Speaking of work...that's the reason why I'm here able to enjoy this peaceful environment right now....and trying to recoup from a 22 hour day at work with only 1 hour of sleep in between. I was lucky enough to be on call yesterday.....not... So here I sit with a triple size cup of coffee ( I brewed 3 cups in my Senseo and poured them into the big cup...too lazy to get up constantly)
I plan on catching up on my photography lessons, doing some light housework, maybe work on my teaching pamphlet and inservice for work (extubation criteria in the Pacu and pain meds) and getting some lucky shots of the cardinals and blue birds in my back yard ( for lack of human subjects).


Hallo Donnerstag,

ich sitze auf meiner Schaukel und entspanne mich hinten auf meiner Terasse. Das passiert nicht oft zu der Tageszeit, da ich meist auf der Arbeit bin. Habe aber gerade einen 22 Std. Tag/Nacht hinter mir und geniesse jetzt die Stille der Natur und meine roten Cardinals (einheimische Voegel) und meinen Kaffee. .....

Inzwischen ist es aber etwas warm geworden (27 C) und nicht mehr ganz so gemuetlich. Schade...dabei hat doch der Herbst schon angefangen.

At Erik's in Michigan


This weekend Julia and I flew to Michigan to celebrate Erik's 30th birthday with him....
These pictures were taken on sunday.....Julia and I had to leave just a few short hours later to catch our flights back to Chicago and St. Louis respectively....This was right before we had breakfast....on Erik's balcony....he has a very nice view....
Letztes Wochenende haben wir Eriks Geburtstag in Michigan gefeiert. Julia und ich sind am Freitag hin geflogen ( mit dem Auto haette es zu lange gedauert ,11 Std. fuer mich und 5 Std. fuer Julia). Leider hat es Freitag und Samstag ziemlich heftig geregnet ( Hurrikan Ike), aber wir hatten trotzdem eine schoene Zeit mit Erik und Kerry.
