The air is bordering on the dry, enough to make my lips chapped. It is hot, though a brief snow flurry cascades... http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2008/02/roses.html http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2008/02/roses.html Fri, 29 Feb 2008 00:33:44 -0500 I am furious with myself today, for I am faint of heart. On my birthday, I called my Mom to thank her for giving birth to me. Mom, less than two weeks out of the hospital after undergoing emergency surgery.... http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2008/01/heart_murmurs.html http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2008/01/heart_murmurs.html Wed, 30 Jan 2008 05:23:49 -0500 So the ferrets are sitting in a pile. Zachary and Duncan are on one level of the cage. Benjamin is bored, and has curled up in the bottom of the cage. For the longest time, Zachary and Duncan have been... http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2008/01/birthday_wishes.html http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2008/01/birthday_wishes.html Tue, 29 Jan 2008 01:57:54 -0500 Just got off the phone with my Mom. She is recovering very well from her recent heart surgery. Neither of us knew just how close to death she really was, until she flatlined on the table while they were putting... http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2008/01/damage_control.html http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2008/01/damage_control.html Sat, 26 Jan 2008 03:07:49 -0500 It’s been a while. I apologize. The iBook gave up the magnificent ghost in October, and my greatest shame is that my desktop, while still a powerhouse for digital stuff (in it’s own sweet, oddly pathetic, slow way) is no... http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2008/01/catching_up.html http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2008/01/catching_up.html Thu, 24 Jan 2008 01:51:39 -0500 I have some kickass candles. And I like lighting them, usually at least one a day (the votives burn for a whopping 12-18 hours each. Seriously kickass). I like the way they smell, I like the soothing nature of... http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2007/10/votive.html http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2007/10/votive.html Mon, 22 Oct 2007 17:45:38 -0500 Dirge without Music Edna St. Vincent Millay I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground.

My favorite doctor, Dr. Kagan, finally and inevitably moved from clinician to researcher. I knew this would happen. I have a special affinity for science geeks, and given the changing face... http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2007/10/new_doctor_numb.html http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2007/10/new_doctor_numb.html Tue, 02 Oct 2007 00:01:12 -0500 So a combination of offhanded drug therapy, combined with a Benadryl for allergies and a whole Klonopin (I usually take half) for this lingering unease I can't seem to shake made their way through my bloodstream tonight. I played... http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2007/09/wuthering_heigh.html http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2007/09/wuthering_heigh.html Tue, 25 Sep 2007 04:31:49 -0500 People suck. And I say that because, as people, I suck. Tonight anyhow So I waited until 1:30 for the guy to call. I spent yet another weekend waiting for a call that did not come. And I spent another... http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2007/09/zanarkand.html http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2007/09/zanarkand.html Sun, 23 Sep 2007 02:41:07 -0500 Current T Cell count – negligible Current Viral Load – Lottery winning Current mood – Cool with that So I’m at the Party Store, browsing.

Brett Somers, the ex-but not ex-wife of Jack Klugman and erstwhile Match Game panelist has died at age 83.

Tonight, I am not going to. There are things stronger than logic, stronger than fear of death, stronger even than my great love for science. Feeling like crap, and the prospect of continuing to... http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2007/09/courage_feartim.html http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2007/09/courage_feartim.html Wed, 12 Sep 2007 00:35:40 -0500 I drag Benjamin out of his silent sleep, and kiss his face. He is almost bald, the cancer having taken his fur and his finery. His skin is thin, and tender, and my touch is not necessarily gentle, considering. But... http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2007/09/still.html http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2007/09/still.html Sat, 08 Sep 2007 06:12:13 -0500 In the last month and a half or so, I started a regimen of antivirals I would seriously not recommend, nor am truly eager to discuss. It’s not something I am taking for the long haul. I am taking them... http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2007/09/my_new_best_fri.html http://blogs.poz.com/jonathan/archives/2007/09/my_new_best_fri.html Sat, 01 Sep 2007 20:22:18 -0500
