The Great IMAX tantrum
out voted.
UPDATE: He actually led the charge on this one ... spawning my formula one theorum of IMAX films: IMAX + car racing = exit. Or, I + CR = E. Where E=excruciatingly painful to watch.

Tacoma's own on iGoogle
Here's a great theme for iGoogle by Dale Chihuly.
I recommend it for the transitions between smart phone, desktop and laptop.

Just got off the phone
A very good friend of mine just received a medical bill.
It has the potential to bankrupt their family.
The procedure was medically necessary, and the bill arrived before her follow up appointment.
Classy.

Thankful
I was a bit torn up yesterday.
This person, due to the cycles they go through, has estranged their family ... estranged their community ...
I had to watch a neighbor basically in their final throes of what I hope was a manic moment.
No worries, nothing violent, just so many emotions and events that I am having difficulty processing ... but maybe it is not for me to understand.
Maybe it is just for me to observe and learn.
Learn and understand yet another person in our county could benefit from either universal or single-payer health care. Understand that I am able-bodied and can take the energy to change my position with some work.
In some follow up phone calls, I found a good friend of mine has done all in their power to help this person ...
This morning, after some rest, I am thankful for the family I have and my friends. Community makes us strong and healthy.

Yes, Father's Day was Happy
Yesterday was Father's day. And I have to say it was wonderful.
It started with the paper and moved into a huge breakfast consisting of fresh fruit, bacon (mmm bacon), waffles, eggs and beans.
Oh, and there was a starter that consisted of donuts and coffee.
After the spare child when home and a wee bit of finagling, we made the decision to head to IKEA.
All the kids are old enough for the kid place now, so we ditched them and set out to find the really neat things to put some vertical storage in our living room. We found it, and found something for the basement as well.
Though the trip took two hours longer than expected, it was a success!
We got home, go rid of some old plastic kitchen range and other assorted thingy, as well as the shelves from the basement we were going to replace with previously mentioned IKEA things.
So, I became one with the allen wrench and assembled all but one of the units we purchased, and am very pleased with the outcome.
Oh! And the boy helped put them together, which was a very nice and pleasant way to work the day!
That plus the time with tacomachickadee was wonderful.
I am very blessed.
Thank you, honey!
