"M'aidez"

Holy crap is that Bay water freezing! Home now. Trying to calm this incessant shivering with my perfect hot tottie. 1 part Irish, 1 part Guyanese -- West Indians make the best damn rum! I'll have to share the recipe some time. It'll knock you on your ass.

So anyway, I've been getting a bunch of questions about my "little black book." I don't really get it, but if you really want to know what Nancy was giving me so much crap about, have a look at my top 10 list. It's kinda like that list people make for what they'd like to accomplish in their lives before a certain age -- just more finite and immediate. (I hear chicks sometimes write lists of things they want in their next boyfriend. That's just scary. I mean, how can any one guy live up to something like that? )

So, here it is. I don't think I've quite got them in the right order yet for level of coolness, but you get the idea.

Pace a voi.

    I've really stepped in it. I took this job thinking that street medicine could not possibly be a den of political B.S. Apparently I was wrong. I'm no boy scout. Let me just make that clear. I've traveled. I've... Read More >

    I sure hope Day of the Dead is better than All Hallows' Eve. There really wasn't anything "hallowed" about today. Just screwed up. I see why Nancy hates this holiday so much. I mean the Irish part of me is... Read More >

    So I told Nancy about Street Medicine tonight. Didn't go over well. And I don't think it was because she didn't like the title. What do you think? But I was serious - she would make a great character when... Read More >

    Shit. My hands are still shaking from today. I'm really starting to understand how some medics see their patients as nothing more than just meat. It's how they get through days like this. We started the day working on... Read More >
