My pretty, glowing liver
My HIDA scan…radioactive stuff injected while you glow for the scanner to check gall bladder function. That’s bile going from my liver into the intestines. But my gall bladder is apparently in stealth mode…
Meet the Boeing family of wide body jetliners

787: She is drop-dead gorgeous, she has all the “right” friends, and all the boys want to date her. She loves spending time at the spa, and she is addicted to social media. Predictably, she is a drama queen. Every little problem gets blown out of proportion, resulting in tears and tantrums. She has an attitude of entitlement, believing that everyone exists to serve her needs and desires.
767: He isn’t terribly smart, or good-looking, or popular, or talented. He is a little clumsy and socially awkward. Though he is a diligent and reliable worker, his only real option for the future is to go into the military, because frankly he has little prospect of finding employment in the private sector. But bless his heart, we love and adore him.
777: He’s the family overachiever. Eagle Scout, 4.0 average, captain of the football team, scholarship offers flowing in, a gorgeous and smart girl friend. He wonders to himself how he could possibly be related to this cast of characters, and secretly wishes he weren’t.
747: Quiet and studious, she tends to keep to herself. She’s a bit heavy and has a touch of asthma. She seems wise beyond her years, and is burdened by an unspoken sadness. Yet she is unfailingly loyal and will go to the wall for you. Others would do the same for her in an instant.
Sweaters of Felicity

So we started to watch all of the episodes of Felicity again….well…just because.
If you remember the 90’s, the fashion of the day was sweater wear. Mock turtleneck’s and all!
Christopher decided to start a new blog after watching the very first episode.
My mentor, the mayor
After high school and growing-up into college I had a lot of fine opportunities to meet a lot of fine folks. One of them was Barb Tolbert. She became my mentor in that she taught me a lot about my profession of the time (public relations and marketing) and, like all great mentors, bestowed upon me her wisdom of many general life lessons that I still use to this day. She encouraged me, and sat me right-down on my butt when needed. She is one of my cherished friends, even as time and life have escaped us. I admire her, and I know she is great.
It did not surprise me when I learned a few months ago that she was running for mayor – how cool! And she did it! Barb Tolbert is the Mayor-elect of Arlington, WA. I am so proud of her and the community she continues to build, encourage and foster.
Barb – you are one of my personal heros. I just know that you will continue to do great things and that your constituents are very lucky to have somebody as impassioned as you are to lead them.
Congratulations! You’re a rock star!
