Skyping With Hungary
Today my mom and I had an interesting Skype chat with some of our relatives in Hungary. My cousin had his father visiting his family and he thought that my mom (his father’s wife’s sister) would enjoy a brief video chat to say hi and find out how things are going in both countries. While …

Women In Science – Family Style
I attended the final in a series of six lectures on ethics in science at the Center for Ethics inside the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park. This one was a bit more special than the others as my older brother’s ex-wife was one of the three speakers presenting, and I got to …

New Gmail Layout With Tabs
Gmail finally started rolling out an update that includes long-awaited tabs. I’m sure a lot of the subscribers will be unhappy with the new design (which can be turned on or off at any time) but personally, I think it’s fantastic and will keep my gmail inbox a heck of a lot more organized. The …

Mami’s Medical Trifecta
Took my mom to three different medical appointments this morning, one on each floor of a three floor building up at Thornton Hospital. The first was to see her primary care doctor for a regularly scheduled follow-up. That was on the second floor. Next was to get some blood drawn on the ground floor so …

New Google Maps
I finally got welcomed into the new Google Maps a couple of days ago, but I didn’t get a chance to check it out until this evening. First impression: pretty darn cool. The maps are more detailed (even in the simple map view), getting info about stuff just by clicking on a street is amazing, …

Tree Trimming: Phase One
Spent about an hour and a half with phase one of trimming a tree of ugly, dead branches in the front yard. The reason for it being only phase one was because I filled up the yard waste bin. And I’ve got the cuts and scrapes to prove it. If only someone could invent some …

Planting Of The Poppies
Finally got around to planting the California Poppy seeds that I got from the San Diego Zoo when I visited during their annual Garden Fest…uh…festivities. I had to wet a cotton ball and drop it into a clear plastic bag. Then the zoo horticulturist scooped up a few seeds and dropped them into the bag. …

Fourth And Final Session
Took my mom for what was probably her final physical therapy session with Celeste at Thornton Hospital. Her shoulder is almost back to normal and she’s off her pain meds so it only makes sense, especially since she can keep doing the stretching exercising at home. We celebrated afterwards by going to The Cove (the …

Mami’s Third PT
Took my mom to her third physical therapy appointment with Celeste. The range of motion in my mom’s injured let arm is amazingly better since the first time she came in for an assessment. Today’s session was simple and straightforward: relaxing, stretching, exercising and relaxing. My mom was doing so well that Celeste told us …

Debbie And My Mom’s Ear
Delivered my mom to her appointment with Debbie, a hearing specialist. From the way Debbie listens and speaks you would never know that she herself has to wear two hearing aids. She took my mom into a tiny, sound-proofed listening room where she sat on a kid’s chair in front of a kid’s table. (I …

My Mom’s Second PT Session
Took my mom for her second physical therapy session with Celeste. Her range of motion has definitely improved since her last appointment. My mom’s not doing badly either. The exercises seem to be doing their job really well and increasing her flexibility. Again, my mom’s not doing badly either.

Mami’s First Official PT Session
Took my mom to her first official physical therapy session with Celeste this morning. She had my mom do some mild stretching to measure her maximum arm rotations and then she had her do some shoulder exercises, a couple using a cane as a prop. She seems already to have improved since the first assessment …

Having Seen Iron Man 3
After hurrying back the night before on very late a train from Los Angeles (arriving back in San Diego around 1:00 am), I awoke early in the morning to drive down to Chula Vista to watch a matinee of the number one movie in the world, the recently released “Iron Man 3” with my best …

PT With Nicole
Took my mom for her first ever physical therapy appointment today. She had recently strained her left shoulder and her primary care doctor thought it might be a good idea. Spent a productive and reassuring half an hour with RPT Nicole, first answering many questions and then assessing the problem. After having my mom try …

My #Wooden @Anniversary
Today marks the 5th anniversary of me signing up on Twitter. After 1,585 tweets, having 93 followers (almost all of them legit) and me following 130 others, I readily admit that I have never truly used Twitter to its full potential. I’ve had some impressive (to me) people reply/favorite some of my tweets, or even …
