I did not make the show, but here is the link to the article. I am sorry, but despite my wailing to Blogger, I can not make a reasonable link in here!

Dream analysis
I dreamed last night that I ran into my old coach from high school, Bruce. Before we met with him, there were some subtle references to the fact he had a major change. He looked exactly the same when I saw him, but he was wearing makeup and women's clothing. I guess he was in the midst of a sex change. I think I really need some counseling.

Coming to DTW
I decided to come to Detroit next weekend, so let me know if you will be around. It would be really cool if somebody would go to East Lansing with me to see the Spartans, but I do not expect it on short notice. I will be here from Friday AM to Monday night.

JP and the city
We went out with Jon tonight since he had some free time while on his business trip. We ate at Platforma and toured around the city a bit. Dig the jazz hands!

Heroes
OK, for those who watch and have not caught up, you can skip the post.
1. What was up with Nathan Petrelli catching Peter all burned up glances in the mirror? Is he like Nikki now?
2. What was up with Peter in the container? I thought he was the one who swooped in and killed Hiro's father, but maybe not. And he could be contained by just handcuffs?
3. Is this the superboogeyman the little girl was talking about last season?
4. How could Peter just heal if he blew up?
5. I am not sure where it is going with Hiro by the way.
6. How did the latin girl kill everyone?

Heroes is making me fat
Heroes started again tonight, and I did not go to the gym. So I am lazy and skipping workouts, and it is only the first episode.
For those who saw it, whatcha think? I called some things, but not others. I do not want to be specific for all of those who like to Tivo. I may elaborate in a few days.
We hit some open houses again on Sunday, and there were some good possibilities. A house nearby had good potential, but the master bedroom smelled like a cat had a major UTI in there (Mike said he would even rip out walls if necessary to get rid of the smell).
There was this really weird one that was big and filled with many functionless nooks.
I have never seen so many sets of 3-4 carpeted steps that went up to weird lofts. Maybe they filmed Robert Altman movies there. Mike went to check out the woods at that house (the realtor told us the owner had a huge garden up on the hilltop), and it was littered with a ton of weird liquor bottles. See ya!
We encountered another realtor-stalker (when you shake them off, they keep re-appearing even when the house has others looking too). Mike had a new idea to keep the realtor stalker away (especially when they get nosy about us). We started thinking of wildly inappropriate questions.
1. After the realtor told us "People buy here for the lifestyle" Mike suggested we ask if they throw key parties.
2. When asked "Do you have children?" We reply, "None of your business"
3. Remark loudly that the yard is so private that we could do some nude sunbathing.
4. What is the zoning for exotic pets?
I can not think of any more offhand, but suggestions are welcome.

When it rains.....
I am pretty lazy on the weekends, and we usually just wing it and do what we want. Our primary social network in the area has weakened due to moving, job changes, and child rearing. I swear that we usually end up doing all of our socializing within a couple of days of eachother.
Friday night was happy hour with some of Mike's former colleagues. There was a lot of talk of some other things we wanted to do together, so hopefully it can work out. Sat AM we went hiking with one of our friends we have not seen for a while. We used to go to a lot of races together, and she used to work with Mike. We were meeting to hike at Harriman State Park to take a trail where you get a cool view of the city (it looks like a island (which it is) floating in the sky). We checked weather and started driving. It then started to rain (which did not appear on the radar) and was all foggy outside. So we hiked, but no view was available.
Today, we are going to a friend's birthday party. So, I am sure we will have nothing going on for at least 3 weeks.

Possible stardom
I may be in the Sunday New York Times. When I went to see my last patient yesterday, a Times reporter and photographer were there (can you say "suprise!"). They took pictures for the entire session. So I may look pretty scummy since it was the end of a long day for me. They were doing a profile on one of the kids that I just started to see.
Dream Analysis
Weirdest one in recent memory.
I woke up, and our friend's kids were over. Mike was getting one of them some milk, and Sue, her boys, Ann, Kevin, and Mom were over too (all sleeping in our room). We all left the house and piled into a huge SUV, and the cops were writing a ticket since we were parked right in the middle of construction. The workers were out there putting down asphalt. Then we could not find a road out, and I was driving in shallow water like on a lake shore (with all of the rocks). Things get fuzzy, and I am getting my hair cut that was never finished. I was at dinner with everyone (with wet hair and half a hair cut), and then I was ditched and alone. I thought I spotted mom, but when I approached her she disappeared. There was a sculpture that was a robot with a TV head where I saw her. I asked the robot if it was Mom, and it answered that it was (shook its big TV head). She then told me to get a special screwdriver from a clinic nearby to help. Then I woke up.

Nature squared
Tonight, we spotted a hummingbird in our backyard for a long time feeding on nectar on a flowering bush. Then, we saw our little friend, the vole (our name for him is flash since he usually appears quickly and disappears). It was little nature night.

Got nothin'
Sorry, not too much to blog about. I suppose that no news is good news. Just out enjoying awesome fall weather, house hunting, talking about housing strategy endlessly with W, working my new schedule, and goofin' off. I am listening to Auralgasms, and they are playing old stuff, so I feel like I am in high school again. Just heard Genius of Love by Tom Tom Club, General Public, and now Alison Moyet. Wow, I am getting old eh?

Back to school
I have been settling back into working again. The last 2 weeks in August were quiet since I can not treat the majority of my kids. So the last week ends up being vacation time (with an extra day for Labor day). I have started my new aquatic therapy job, and I am slowly building a caseload there. I have really been enjoying it so far. I have been working with a larger variety of diagnosis there, and that has been great. My only complaint about the work I have been doing the last few years is the lack of variety. I see high functioning kids who are developmentally delayed, but not disabled. As a result, I do not need to use techniques that I have been learning over the years so much. So in the water, I have been able to open that bag of tricks. It has also made me start to think more, which my feeble brain could use. My Alzheimers will kick in a year later I suppose. I should not even say it, but my scheduling for school went very smoothly this year too! I am amazed.

Dream analysis #2
I dreamed the other night that I was out partying with Paris Hilton. We ordered some girly drinks, and they were tiny (like the size of a shot glass) and really expensive. I suggested that we drink at home (like college) so we did not have to spend too much money at the club. I am much cooler in my dream life. Who knows what the hell that means!
