In honor of my golfing this summer with my boys, I have chosen a pool adjacent to an 18-hole course. What are you drinking, and what was the highlight of your week? ![]() |

Oh goodness, I need this. Highlight of the week? Hmmm....let's see. Was it the 91 year old lady for the appendectomy at 9:30 last night? Or was it the 20 year old lady for the appendectomy that got finished at midnight? Was it the the 3:30 AM epidural? Nope. It was the 87 year old demented gentleman who, on Wednesday, tried to put a pencil in his bladder. Well, he didn't try, he succeeded. Really. I'll have a Jameson's Irish Whiskey today, but it'll have to wait until I get to the Cheddarshack tonight (about 9) for a week's vacation. Keep it cold for me - put it in the fridge, and when I get up to Cheeseland, I'll put a couple of ice cubes in it. |

How awful. Will he be discharged to the psych unit? When I volunteered on a patient safety committee, we often discussed a regular who ate everything in sight. His usual favorite was latex gloves in the ER. They solved that problem, but he moved on to toilet paper from the restroom. Highlight of my week has to be my golf with my boys - three round of nine holes, on three different days. I need Advil before and after but it's been a blast. Tonight we are meeting friends at the local pool for pizza, fruit, and some contraband wine. |

Excellent! I guess the highlight of my week is now, when my SIL and nephew are visiting. Also, daughter got her dorm assignment. Had a few excellent, unhurried workouts, a couple fine meals and I found some very good, exceptionally modestly priced French table wines. Now, about that mojito... |

It's a 6-month IT internship at a smallish (well, about 120 employees, so not really that small, but anyway) Swiss company called Ricardo.ch. They're running a web auction platform similar to Ebay (I believe they were there before Ebay opened their Swiss branch, in any case they're bigger than Ebay here). Apparently their growth was quite fast, too fast for their back-end infrastructure to keep up with. So the intranet isn't up to par, contracts, bills and the likes still involve lots of manual work, etc. Fixing this, or parts of it, will be my job for the next six months. Then I'll either look for another internship or stay with them if they choose to employ me. And after that, in autumn 2012, I'll go back to the conservatory to study musical pedagogy (shouldn't take me so long, I'll likely be able to skip some courses because I've already studied musicology and composition) and become a high-school-level music teacher. So, that's about it. |

A good week here, too, with the fourth coat of finish on the kitchen floor, four speakers confirmed for an event I am coordinating for work, and a very full cooler of popsicles taken to the local theater folks, including four fresh batches of pops. Say, four has been a good number for me lately! I'll have a nice house red, thanks. |

The highlight of my week was buying a 17 pound whole choice ribeye for $6/lb at Costco. Cut it into steaks last night. Another highlight was that I got a Kindle. The first book I bought for it is Ender's Game. So far I like it, but I do sort of wish the screen was bigger. Oh, and also took delivery of a leather recliner. It'll be my reading chair. Now I need some scotch to read with, and I'll be in reading heaven. |

+1, Sounds awesome, man! Highlight of my week was finalizing my schedule for next semester. But by going to the student centre to deal with all that B.S. I also happened upon my grades for last term. credit with Distinction, every class. Grades have been posted for a month already and I had no idea. Got straight D's and didn't even notice. It's just like high school! |

Daughter loves the Ender's Game series. Horace, it sounds like you have the makings for a man cave there. Did you order that Scotch I posted about the other day? It's nice! I think you'd like it. |

Years ago we had a frequent flyer in ER who was quite the mental patient. He also had a proclivity for shoving in his urethra whatever would fit up his penis. Came in one night with the plastic ink stem from a bic fountain pen lodged in there. RN called the GU guy on call, who happened to be at a Christmas party he didn't want to leave. The GU told the RN to make the guy drink a couple of glasses of water and watch to see if he would urinate. The RN called the doc back and told him the patient had successfully urinated. And that the bic ink was royal blue. They sent him home and removed the foreign body the next morning. |
