Marscat: surviving kidney failure
http://marscat.blogspot.com/2009/07/surviving-kidney-failure.html
Tuesday, July 07, 2009. I was seated in conference room 200 along with about sixty other employees, listening to the directors explain why they needed to lay off 27 people on Monday. Fortunately, I was not one of them. More workers showed up at the entrance to the room and were spilling out into the hallway. The CIO waved for them to come in and take the few still empty seats up front. I promise you won't be laid off if you sit in the front row," he laughed. What on earth does that mean, I asked myself?

Marscat: June 2008

Wednesday, June 25, 2008. While the presenter and the organizer and the guy from the front row. Fiddle with the projector,. A big woman in a small metal chair. Holds a slice of pizza. It hangs limp and sweaty. Like a tired dog's tongue. Lodged on her chest. Rides the wave of her contented. I am pretty certain. She'll be the first to bolt. Once the pizza's eaten. I am putting on my best show. Loading up my paper pad balanced on my knees. With chunks of wisdom, sage cutlets. It will not clap. There is only...

Tuesday, November 15, 2011. After dinner last Wednesday evening. I walked over to Sproul. So I was sitting there at the Occupy Cal demonstration, nodding. Hall She started mentioning the Sixties, but I didn't know if she was mentioning them from personal experience or just as a historical perspective, like how I might talk about the Russian Revolution although I've not personally. Were you here at Sproul. Protesting in the Sixties. And then because we were close to being the oldest, poorest dressers at t...

Wednesday, June 24, 2009. The paper lady broke our window. Yesterday the paper lady broke the glass pane in our front door when she delivered the Chronicle. I got in my truck and chased her down after Linda shouted, "get in your truck and chase her down.". I reached over to the passenger seat to roll down the window. It took me a few cranks. as my arms are short. I could see she was getting impatient, she had papers to deliver, so i cranked more quickly. It did," I said. The situation just hung there for...

Tuesday, May 20, 2008. Insanity has company, they are called teammates and they all show up to race Kern. Lilly is so right. I love my insane teammates. our 35 group just keeps getting better and better. we will be back again next year. did i just write that? The other teams will see us and know they have their work cut out for themselves. if they were smart they would copy our style. they'd start getting sillier and insaner and funner and winninger. We slayed the kern. Thing we'll see you in a bit.

Marscat: Today you are Russians
http://marscat.blogspot.com/2009/07/today-you-are-russians.html
Wednesday, July 22, 2009. Today you are Russians. I went downstairs to the reception desk to check on the status of our guide who would drive us to Novgorod, an ancient Russian city first settled around 859 by the Vikings. The sleepy girl asked. She seemed to sway a little as if still half asleep. Her hair was slightly knotted above her right ear. I told her I was waiting for our guide to take us to Novgorod. ". She is here,. The lady stood up and immediately held out her hand for me to shake. " Good.

Friday, October 17, 2008. We go for little walks now that linda's off the crutches. we walked in fairfax the other day. and then huckleberry trail and strawberry canyon in the berkeley hills. huckleberry is where that guy burried his wife for a couple of months and that kind of wrecked it a bit. and strawberry canyon is the possible site of some new structure and then it'll not be so nice to run in or walk. That's a western sword fern i announce. Linda says, you think he buried her far from here?
