they say the third time is a charm, but when it comes to me avoiding sarcastic or snarky comments its a hurdle just too high to climb.

see you next week when i’ll be back to my usual cynical self.

cheers.

i just got back mri results of my head – the lab actually reported:

unremarkable mri of the brain

i totally need a second opinion if this radiologist doesn’t find my brain remarkable.

after a week of dwelling on all the things i dislike about my current town, sunday night we went to the local outdoor theater, nestled in the woods nearby campus and enjoyed a terrific show.

the theater is one of the few jewels in town and i so enjoyed the show that its inspired me to attempt an entire week of snarkfree postings.

(for those of you thinking i must have been replaced by a pod – this would be where i would end with something like “see you next monday” – but not to fear we’ll return to our regular programming next monday.)

the subject

the artist

the result

while i think its important for there to be opinions other than the “i want my country back fanatics”, i’m almost equally offended at being by the obama camp sending me the flier below that i’m supposed to wave around like a lemming.

near as i can tell no one is standing up for the things i think are important, like: tort reform to limit excessive injury claims and alleviate the burdensome c.y.a. that fills a doctors day instead of providing health care; a quality, affordable public option that would allow me to obtain coverage without a full time job and that i could use across the country without fear of being out of network; changes to the current reimbursement model that favors procedures over wellness care; etc.

when someone starts standing up for things that would benefit the majority of us instead of the special interests i’ll consider standing with them…
