Garden, Garden

I'm trying to grow artichokes in my garden this year.

This poor plant is trying to tell me Montana is too hot for artichoke's tender heart.

Too hot.

Think I'll grow artichokes every year.

Don't get to hear Montana is too hot very often.

1st and Last?

This is my first camera.

This is the camera I'm using now.

Who could have known
handing a plastic camera
to a ten-year-old
would sort out like this?

Primus, volens et potens

Today I taught an EMS endorsement class to a group of First Responders.

I used a recording of Darth Vader to explain respirations, a naked picture of Vin Diesel for skin assessment and a clip from Psycho as an example of a blood-letting device for the glucometry section.

I knew someday all that time I spent watching movies would come in handy.



*Primus, volens et potens
First, willing and able.
Motto of First Responders.

Hum

If Only . . .

If you could go back in time and meet your 16-year-old self, what three things would you tell yourself?

1. You can do it.

2. You will have someone to love.

3. It's never as bad as it looks or better than it seems, but trust me, darlin', it's going to rock.
