Stephen Curry had himself a weekend.[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"image-style:230x186","fid":"990331","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image media-image-right","height":"186","style":"float: right; margin: 10px; border: 2px solid black;","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"230"}}]]
Before dunking phenomenon and part-time golfer Zach LaVine stole the show Saturday night, and before no one watched the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, the Golden State Warriors point guard topped LeBron James as the leading All-Star vote-getter and then demolished the field in the Three-Point Contest, scoring 27 points in the final round to beat out his teammate, and fellow "Splash Bro," Klay Thompson for the title.
While that trophy will look plenty nice in his growing collection of hardware, the avid golfer will probably get more use out of his new custom putter, courtesy of Bettinardi Golf.
Curry's whirlwind weekend has been immortalized on one of Bettinardi's BB Zero blade putters, complete with his name and number, Golden State colors and an homage to his fan vote victory. Hopefully we will get a closer look at it this NBA offseason during a pro-am or two.
Congrats to @StephenCurry30 @warriors @DegreeMen on being #1 in @NBAAllStar fan votes with our BBZERO #CustomPutter pic.twitter.com/DDbZ6Np7qL

The standard BB series putter retails for $299.99, but we have a feeling Curry may think his is more along the lines of priceless.

OKAY, I'm probably through with Captain Sketchee. Partially, well, mostly because Trish is sick of seeing illustrations of creepy old men. I guess it's bad enough living with one.
OKAY, I'm probably through with Captain Sketchee. Partially, well, mostly because Trish is sick of seeing illustrations of creepy old men. I guess it's bad enough living with one.
"Avant," Mr. Sketchee told me, evidently including me with the 'Surf Fashion lemmings' and 'Thrift store dumpster divers,' "is French, and thereby, mas' sophisticato, for 'before.'"
"Mas' sophisticato?" I asked, knowing, that as another figment of my imagination, Captain Sketchee got his start in fashion at the Port Angeles Goodwill (just down Lincoln from the North by Northwest surf shop) when he found some faux (more French) Admiral's nautical coat; unfortunately not in the proper size.
"It's creepy," Trish said when I showed her this drawing; "Why would you want to draw… him?"
"T shirts," I said. "I'm going to add some waves, some lettering… and, besides, he was Mr. Creepee, originally; but, um, he's, uh, evolved. And, anyway, what about the drawing? Clean, tight; medium lines?"
"The drawing's fine, but… nobody wants that on a t shirt. I mean, do you?"
I kind of do. I mean, with the lettering and… quality t shirt, and… in my size.
…adding more lines. I try for simple; really; but, if no one stops me, I just keep going until…
I'm trying to get some illustrations together for (this is kind of a secret and has always been something I've been interested in) some t-shirts. I have, actually, done some designs for others, but, as always, I just keep going, adding lines, adding some pointillism (fancier name for dots), some more shading.
Doing some drawings for use in coloring books has helped, but… So, for the above drawing I avoided the 'extra fine' pens. Fine lines, I know, through my experience in serigraphy (snotty name for silk screening), don't always work. They get lost in the process.
The process. My process is I just keep trying. So, here's the best I could do with my scanner (because I'm impatient and can't get to the printer for a couple of days) on a drawing based on a photo I took of a secret and scary and fickle and dangerous and, if I didn't mention it, secret spot somewhere out on the Strait. The photo very briefly appeared on this site before fear of landmark recognition by desperate and/or frustrated surfers (and having this pointed out to me by several friends) lead to its removal.
Maybe, in your mind, you can connect the two drawings. I am pretty happy with the rocks in the foreground. Lots of lines; lots and lots of lines.
…maybe that should be a question. When there are waves, or even the possibility, even (more) the probability of surf, tensions rise. Every surfer wants a chance at dealing with quality waves. Some do, and are elated; others, for various reasons, miss out on opportunities and are frustrated. Tempers can flare.
Shit happens. Work, family responsibilities, broken equipment or vehicles, power outages, not taking a chance on iffy conditions, other shit. Shit!
And it's not just that you (or I) aren't committed, or committed enough to the lifestyle/sport. We rearrange our schedules the best we can, but, sometimes, we just hear about classic conditions after the fact. Sometimes we witness classic conditions but can't, for any combination of the above or other reasons, participate.
That happens. I haven't really gotten over, or, at least, I still remember, painting a house on the bluff above Stone Steps, late in the afternoon, with the waves glassing-off, lining-up, and only a few surfers out. Yeah, I kept painting; felt I had to finish the project.
Still, those waves… they may not have been as great if I'd surfed them, but, in my memory, they were sooooo good.
WAIT. I'm adding this, just in, photo of Hydrosexual Stephen Davis (I was going to drop the hydrosexual part because of spam from sex-related, um, spammers, but Steve kind of likes the description/title) doing something besides surfing, work as part of the crew on a catamaran off the Big Island. OH, and he did the artwork for the t-shirt.
Anyway, I am trying to do a bit of a pivot in my career, and I've actually started drawing things not surf-related. Here are some examples:
What unites us as surfers is not our performance level; it's more that we have suffered the frustration of getting caught inside, of missing or wiping-out early on a great wave, of watching someone else wail on a wave we could have been on, of hearing about or seeing wonderful surf we can't get into, of driving a long way to get skunked. It's sad and just wrong to get frustrated enough to unload verbally or physically on another surfer; particularly when, if there were no waves, this would be someone you'd be chatting with; a friend.
Even the best, longest ride is short compared to real life. What we really save is the memories. I'm sure we'd all rather have pleasant ones.
And, no; all this peace talk isn't because someone took offense with my wavehog ways. I mean, people have, not recently; it really relates to friends going off on other friends. Friends. It's sad. It's fixable.
I am continuing to do a series of landscape drawings, anxious to expand my scope. I currently have some illustrations at Helen Gunn's gallery uptown Port Townsend, some at Tyler Meek's Disco Bay Outdoor Exchange in Discovery Bay, and, once Adam "Wipeout" James sees my HamaHama drawing… I mean, my friend Adam James… and, yeah, working on it. Committed. See you.
OKAY, here are the first of my Olympic Peninsula landscapes:
I have some new illustrations, freshly reduced, ready to add color.
I had already done the color on the larger version of the (above) drawing, but didn't like the blend on the lower part. So, once it was reduced, I added some more lines (and a little more color).
I'll add some color to other drawings, but, for some reason, I get less excited about the color part than I do the original drawing. When I get going on a drawing, and I'm pretty happy with my progress, what I seem to think about is how I can screw it up. And color is another opportunity. So… less might be better.
Meanwhile, waves seem to be missing the Strait. Now, the coast… it's another story.
NOTES: The word Patagonia refers to a land of giants.
-Sasquatch sightings in the wild Olympic Peninsula in Western Washington are a bit higher in the HamaHama region along Hood Canal. -The extended family of Adam "Wipeout" James has been logging, farming, and maintaining shellfish beds for generations. -Whether surfing, working the tide flats, or representing HamaHama Seafoods all around the country, Adam's life is more aligned with the cycle and pattern of tides than that of night and day.
THIS is fiction, as in, 'could be true;' and, really, it should be titled:
MORE NOTES/EXPOSITION: Adam is, quite possibly, the most gregarious person I've ever met. Eternally outgoing, willing to talk to just about anyone; I sort of wrote his behavior off as trying to fit in with the surf crowd, something in keeping with my impression that he believes there is some sort of unofficial Surf Community. -Yeah, maybe; or maybe it's the same more salt-water-connected than blood-related tribe I've been around for the last 52 years (or so). -Adam remembers other surfer's names, gets some background on others in the water and on the beach; and, I don't know, it's kind of catchy. Or I'm kind of competitive. Knowing Adam has made me, maybe, a bit friendlier. More on the beach than in the water. -Adam has established some sort of relationship with Patagonia. They wanted, possibly, to make some inroads into the work clothing market, take some market share from Carhartt. -SO, Adam scored some clothing, got some photos taken, set up mutual surf friend (and contractor in the boat building/repair world), Clint, with a modeling opportunity. -AND, maybe because I wear my HamaHama hoodie out in the world, representing, Adam scored a xxxl Patagonia pullover for me. "Double xl is big enough," I told him on the phone, both of us trying to figure out when and where to go surfing based on the latest forecasts, buoy readings, tide reports, and anecdotal/historic bullshit.
"I was just trying it on," Adam told me, after the INCIDENT; "It fit over the rest of my gear." "Because it's a triple xl, Adam." "Yeah; right." So, finally, here's my piece on Adam's story:
Since it was a warmer night than expected, Adam left his (my) Patagonia pullover, a jug of water, and a burrito left over from dinner in a pile, just where the narrow path leading down from his house hit the beach. This was his own small section of tideflats. A moon, a few days past full, was rising above the trees and scattered lights on the Kitsap Peninsula, a mile or so across the ancient (ice age old) fjord. English explorers named this the Hood Canal, another finger (and not a canal) reaching from the various bodies that make up Puget Sound.
His characteristic miner's style headset light on his wool cap, flannel shirt, rubber boots and protective gloves, and a five gallon bucket in each hand, Adam set out across the rocks and gravel.
He had missed the ebb tide, and, forty-five minutes into the flow, was thinking about surfing, about waves; swell size and angles and periods, and winds. With just a hint of an east wind spreading texture on the always-moving water; the decision was, as always, whether, in the morning, he should go down Surf Route 101 and out to the coast or up the same highway to the Strait. Deciding which oysters to pick was, after years of low tides, second nature.
The moon was only slightly higher when, his buckets full; he looked south, well beyond his headlamp's ability to see clearly. It was…no.
What Adam thought could be (not unheard of) a bear, smashing shells with a rock; stood up, pouring an oyster into its mouth. Standing, it was… it was very tall. And it looked at him.
"It?" I asked, just the other day, on the Strait. After four hours or so in the water, I was out and fully dressed. Adam, who arrived later than I had, having checked out several other possible locations, was sliding on a now-slightly-used canvas Patagonia jacket (probably a size large). "Have you seen, like, elk, deer, bears… out on the tideflats?" His gesture said, "Yes, all of those." "Poachers?"
He laughed. "Yeah. That's what I was thinking… a couple of years ago…" Adam cut himself off to say something to a group that had just pulled into the parking area; two softtops and two other boards on the roof, three guys and a woman climbing out.
"You have any more coffee?" he asked me. We had each had some after we both got out of the water the first time, before we noticed the rights seemed to be working (sporadically- I drifted back to the lefts where Big Dave was still surfing).
"Yeah; just don't drink the last of it. Why don't you bring a thermos?"
Half a cup in his (I'm guessing) hip canning jar mug, Adam walked over to his next (potential) friends as I tied-down my board, then put on the fleece-lined, flannel, old man coat I'd purchased for eight bucks at the Port Angeles Goodwill, shortly before I discovered I could get a new version at Costco for under twenty.
"Surgical strike, then. Great." This is what Adam was saying to one of the four-person-group readying to attack the mostly-mediocre (I'm legally bound to never say 'great,' though, on this day, they weren't) as he backed away from them and toward me, turning to say, "Surgical strike."
I, no doubt, shrugged. "Poacher?"
"Oh, yeah; that's where I might have screwed up. I couldn't tell… he was kind of out of range. He was, um, thick enough, that I couldn't really tell how tall he was. I think I said something like, 'Hey, Buddy… Dude; you know that these tideflats are…' I almost said, 'mine.' Or, maybe I did."
I poured out the last of the coffee into my Seahawks mug. A third of a cup and almost luke-warm. "Now, Adam, I told you I wasn't going to tell you, again, that the best wave I saw all day is the one you were too far over to make… so pretty."
"No, the best wave was the one I took off in front of you on."
"Yeah, maybe it was." With Big Dave and I kind of, possibly, maybe, catching a lot of the available waves, Adam and others had moved up the reef. Not really working. Adam moved back over. On one of the larger waves, Adam took off in front of me. I surfed up next to and under him, and actually said (not yelled, but in the heat of the moment), "I hope you don't think I care more about this board than this wave." We both made the wave, and Adam said, "You should have gone past me." "You should have dropped down." "Yeah, next time. Fun, huh?"
"Yeah. Fun."
At some point, and it was probably when he heard the growling, deep, low, but intensifying; Adam realized this wasn't a poacher out on his tide flats. And it wasn't a 'Buddy' or a 'Dude.'
Turning toward the beach, walking slowly, at first; his lamp turned off, looking up at the yard light at his house; Adam didn't break into an all-out run until he approached the high tide line. Still, he never thought of dropping the buckets, even when audible (and getting closer, quickly) heavy breathing, huge feet sliding and splashing across the shallows, got closer.
Closer. Adam swears, now, he could feel the creature's breath, smell something that, when he considered it, smelled somewhere between burnt driftwood and seaweed. Not that he was considering subtleties of smell as he ran. Near the high tide mark, Adam dropped both buckets; one spilling over, the other staying upright.
It wasn't a growl, almost a laugh as the Creature passed him. Passed him. Adam may have shrieked. May have; but then he froze. A bucket swinging from one hand, the creature (let's call it a Patagon', a giant) stopped at the path, turned, sniffed, looked at Adam. Maybe he studied him for a moment: Brown hair, big mustache, beard halfway-to-full. He looked at the brown hair on his own arm for another moment as he raised Adam's leftover burrito, ate it in one bite, drank half of Adam's remaining water (the rest pouring down his hairy chest), and, when Adam turned his headlamp back on, the Patagon' blinked.
"Then, his head kind of turning this way and that, he sort of smiled. Big canines. Big. I did kind of a (demonstrates) fist bump kind of thing, then, maybe, like a peace sign. I, um, (demonstrates again) kind of hit my chest, said, "I'm Adam."
"Of course you did."
The Sasquatch licked his huge fingers, grunted something; four syllables. Adam answered with a, "You're welcome." The Patagon' looked at Adam's (could have been mine) fleecy pullover, then back at Adam. "It won't fit you," Adam said. "But, maybe… special order… I know people."
Too late. The coat tucked/stuffed under one arm, the bucket of oysters hitting a few branches, Adam's new friend glided (Sasquatch(es) supposedly glide) along the shore-hugging scrub brush, bounded up an unseen path farther south as a cloud covered the moon.
"Low tide's about forty-five minutes later tomorrow night," Adam said into the darkness, walking back to retrieve the other bucket of oysters, thinking (he claims) about how much I would have loved that sweatshirt.
"Hey, nice session," I said, reaching out to exchange a fistbump. "And… nice story."
"Yeah. Um… so, you, uh, didn't wear the HamaHama sweatshirt today?"
"No, but…I could explain that, but…" No, I couldn't beat Adam's story. It would take aliens, space aliens. "Next time. And, um, next time, you drop down and I'll go past you."
BONUS STEPHEN DAVIS, with explainer. Stephen, recovering from his recent Tuck-and-rollover accident on the Big Island, sent a photo of his most recent painting. Thanks, Stephen, paint some more. NOW! PAINT!
..…checking the forecast. Stubbornly believing, if I check the buoys (not just those near-shore, but those in the open ocean, west and north- the ones that matter) often enough; winds and angles and period; if I check out multiple forecasts; if I overlay an optimal tide and wind situation at several different locations; maybe I'll be able to predict the exact moment when the swirl becomes the proper energy, properly focused.
And, of course, I hope the next window is slightly before the forecasts we all look at call for it to open. Ready to readjust my schedule to fit my idea of when and where and how far away, imagining peeling glass, properly chilled and waiting…
No, it's me who is waiting. I'm guessing you are, too.
Meanwhile, there's work, and, incidentally, I have quite a few drawings waiting to go to The Printery to be reduced in size so I can post them. Something else I'm anticipating.
Somewhere between waking up a little later than I had planned, trying to get up the energy and necessary excitement level to drive to a job I have to (HAVE TO) get completed before Monday, that project twenty miles out on a (relatively) wilderness peninsula; somewhat after I stepped in cat barf (easily detected with bare feet), had to deal with the same cat's (Snickerdoodle's) latest incredibly, unbearably stinky crap (each installment demanding instant removal from the litter box and the house), made a pot of coffee for today's thermos full, microwaved a cup of yesterday's leftover, turned on the light in the art/breakfast nook, found the magazine and the photo I would use as reference, then…
…oh, yeah, then I decided, after getting fresh boxers and socks for today from the laundry room, that I could actually use the Seahawks shirt I had worn, yesterday, for Blue Friday, but hadn't worn to paint in; fresh enough; so I set the magazine and (I think) my drawing/computer eyeglasses on top of the stuff on top of the heater near the door I went out to retrieve my shirt. This particular pair of cheaters is too strong for watching TV (or for walking around), but perfect for making a lot of lines make sense. Some sense.
I looked. Couldn't find them. Got a flashlight, dug around under the piano and the heater, retraced my steps. Gave up. The clock is ticking. Got to get to work.
This is drawn with my painting (trim-cutting mostly) glasses, a few specks on the lenses. It's not an excuse, it's an explanation.
MEANWHILE, I got some new earplugs. I've been using these orange-ish waxy plugs purchased at Walmart, but, if I wipe out enough times, I always seem to lose one. Then I rip the other one in half. Then, as happened this week, I might lose one of those. If I don't wear earplugs I will get one ear or the other plugged up. It's not always immediate, but this last time I lost hearing in my right ear before I made it home. This deafness is quite irritating to people (Trish mostly) who think I should hear what they're saying.
It's also quite irritating to me, constantly trying to clear the ear, dealing with that drop of the ocean caught between the bone growth (diagnosed when I was 20 year old) that has been narrowing my ear canals, and my ear drum. Slosh, slosh, clearness, hey… replugged. Silence. "What?" I'm constantly snapping my fingers next to my ear, checking.
AFTER googling 'surfers' ear', it seems like the best solution is surgery. Drilling or chisling. NOOOOOOooo! WELL, we ordered and received some new plugs, seemingly identical (except for the strap connecting the two) to the ones endorsed by Tom Carroll, but cheaper from Ebay, possibly because of the lack of his endorsement. I've checked them out, can't wait to use them.
MY HOPE is I don't find my drawing glasses the same way I found Snicky's barf. Cruncccccccchhh.
ADDITIONALLY, because it seems to be a deal, with attacks from the tweeter-in-chief; it seems like everyone should take a note from the Seattle area high school football team that took a knee during the national anthem. This shows no disrespect, and, in fact, probably shows more respect for what our country stands for (I won't add 'allegedly', 'historically,' or 'supposedly'- for the sake of not arguing), while noting that social inequality is real. Really.
These are the first pages of a… I don't want to say comic book, not quite a graphic novel. Okay, my graphic short story of an older guy going to… hey, it needs to tell itself; and, no, I wanted the Malmsted character to be someone other than me.
…and there's more. Coming. Soon. Will Malmsted make it back to his room before… will his desire to surf overcome his complete lack of actual experience in the actual ocean? Will he rule the lineup? Why did I draw him with a mustache AND a soul patch?
…in the glare, in the crowd; I know I'll see you later.
It's high season for painting houses, and quite a short season it is here in the great northwest. It might be considered fortunate that it's off-season for surfing, even on the coast. I would love more time for writing and drawing and, yeah, I'd like to see something a bit more promising in the surf forecasts.
So, this one time… this one time I moved over from the rights as the tide flattened them out. About the time I got to my preferred lineup for the lefts a set approached. Big Dave was the only one farther out than I was. "Oh," I said, "I'd love to take that first one." "Well," Dave said, "It's your birthday."
It wasn't. But, recently, it was; and there was a bit of a bump, and… okay, it wasn't classic; there were roll-throughs and closeouts and a sideshore wind, and, along with the many waves I caught during my five hours in the water, there were several pretty nasty wipeouts, cuts on both hands, a wound on my calf, sore muscles, and one ear plugged up for several days.
And now it's back to sweating, painting some crappy apartments in Bremerton. But, I am taking a little time to finish a drawing, do some (this and other) writing, study the forecast. My thinking is: I'm not getting any younger.
UPDATE: Archie Endo has returned, at least temporarily, from Thailand. The stroke he suffered there has left him physically weaker, and he thinks it'll be a while before he can get back to his soulful and stylish longboard surfing. Stephen Davis and Mike "Squintz" Cumiskey helped him get settled back into his house.
Hydrosexual Stephen Davis, who just left for the Big Island this morning, took Archie to the pool in Sequim, and said, when Archie got in the water, "He just lit up. You could see the energy coming back." Archie confirmed this. Hopefully, with some proper therapy, we can see our friend parallel-stancing his way across some northwest waves.

Product Launches
We'll Get You From "Failure to Launch" to "Lift Off!"
With all the time and energy spent developing new products, you'd think companies would be better about internal product launches. And yet, boring e-blasts and spec sheet training flood the inboxes. That's where we come in! With custom comedy and live events to add some flair to product launches, we create engaging material that stands out in a sea of spam.
Prepping for successful product launches is a lot like putting up a show. A positive 'Yes, And' mindset stokes team creativity and gets everyone contributing and completely vested in the delivering best possible outcome!
– Lee Smart, Facilitator
Let's Pinocchio the heck out of these scenarios.
We're done emailing out data that no one will read. It's time to improvise real-life situations and potential results for your product launches. It's simple, really. Just provide us with a situation and different outcomes and we'll act everything out for you. We'll incorporate your team's experience right into the scenes – we've done it on stage for 55+ years. A discussion, feedback, and reactions – all designed to generate the excitement your launches need.
- A few ways we make launches awesome
- Make room for hilarity with game shows and improv-based learning
- Create engaging sketches that convey product information memorably
- Build compelling stories your teams can deliver long after we've left
Game shows beat PowerPoints any day.
The drudgery of slides is over. Make room for comedy as we incorporate custom improv techniques to energize a routine that's typically far too zzzzzzzz-inducing. We'll help you engage with your audience and share information about new products in ways that are as fun as they are descriptive. We wrap knowledge and product information up in a package that is interactive, engaging, and fun. Remember fun? Fun misses you. Back away from the PowerPoint, and come back to fun!

Chocky's Challenge (1986)
Like the first two Chocky serials, the third is a pretty slow-paced piece of 80s children's SF. Unlike the others, it's not something I can give even a qualified recommendation. The plot's more or less a rehash of the second one, except the pacing's even wonkier and Chocky is more willing to reveal herself to other humans than the children she's working with.
Original protagonist Matthew takes a back seat in this series, with Albertine becoming the central figure. She's joined by three more of Chocky's proteges, including an extremely Caucasian looking girl from Hong Kong and the world's least convincing American. Allegedly he's a Bostonian but I suspect he's more likely to be from somewhere like Brixton.
Anyway, Albertine's blown through university at the age of 14 and is looking for grant money so she can research cosmic energy - the free, limitless force Chocky came to Earth to share with us. As usual, she has to deal with sceptical adults and an evil government conspiracy. Said conspiracy is frankly so inept that it's only a threat at all because Albertine and Chocky spend so much time carrying the idiot ball.
An inferior entry and a disappointing end to the series.

"Whew, finally done with all that homework!"
"Oh hi Lexi! You're home!"
"Hi! Do you want to come to the spa with me? I texted Lilly to see if she wanted to come, too."
"Sure, just let me get my shoes and purse."
"OK, I'm ready!"
"Great! Aww, Lilly just said she can't come because she's at work. Oh well. Let's go!
"I think this is it."
"Shouldn't there be a worker here.......?"
"Hello ladies, my name is Lilly and I'll be your stylist today!"
"How come you didn't tell us you'd be working here?"
"I wanted it to be a surprise! Now, what can I do for you girls today?"
"Well I wanted a soak in the hot tub."
"And I would like your super-secret-special-shiny hair treatment please!"
"OK! Brittany, you sit here, and Lexi, the tub is all ready!
*soooooooooo relaxed*
"First let's comb out your hair...."
"And now we put our super-secret-special-shiny hair treatment oil in your hair. Then we wait fifteen minutes for it to set."
*now asleep*
"What do you think?"
"OMIGOSH, I love it!"
"OK, Lexi, time's up."
"W-what? Oh, okay."
"Thanks for visiting the Star Spa! Oh, and here's a free sample of our shampoo!"
"Thanks Lilly!" "Bye!"
So sorry for some of the HORIBBLE pictures. I just got a new doll room (YAY) but there's no windows (BOO) so I had to use the flash. I haven't figured it all out yet.
Stay tuned for the rest of beauty week! Stay fabulous!
Love, Leah

First off, Christmas went well. All the family (and I do mean all!) got to meet and hold Ashtyn and see her precious smile. While the days from Christmas to New Year's were busy and full, we still had a really great time at home in Texas.
Let's talk about the flight home. Imagine you're a young mom traveling alone with your 4 1/2 month old baby for the first time. You're running late to the airport and for this reason have to walk as fast as you can (carrying your baby, purse, and diaper bag) to the terminal. By the time you get there, sweat is literally dripping off your face and you have about five minutes to buy a bottle of water for the flight and sit down before boarding. You sit down, exhausted and sweaty, and the woman next to you asks you if you knew that there was spit-up all down your arm.
It's time to board. Luckily you get to board early b/c of the tiny baby squirming in your arms. You find your seat and wonder just how–with the squirmer in your lap–you're going to mix water and formula to make bottles . Maybe you can wait until after take off. The plane begins to fill. It's definitely a full flight. Young guy number 1 makes his way to your row and takes the window seat. Younger guy number 2 finds your row and sits between you and guy number 1. You're starting to feel a large amount of anxiety as the precious little one begins to cry. The airplane door is closed, but take off still isn't happening. You're sweating again. The baby is crying louder. You know that everyone on the plane hates you. Baby is screaming. Younger guy number 2 is asking if he can help–realizing he is also in an extremely terrible situation by sitting next to you. You try to keep the baby under control but can feel yourself about to cry. Flight attendant comes to your row and says not to worry, baby will calm down after take off. Yes, but when the heck is that happening?? you wonder.
As screaming continues and life worsens, you grab the water bottle, baby bottle, and box of formula and hand it to younger guy and say, "Fill to the 6 with water and put in 3 scoops of formula and shake). Immediately younger guy (who is home from college and probably has never fed a baby) starts working to make a bottle. You are loving younger guy. He is your only ally in this horrifying moment. You stick bottle in frustrating baby's mouth and there is finally . . . silence.
Everyone on the plane is breathing relief. You see baby falling asleep and decide you absolutely cannot move in case she wakes back up. For the next hour, you are a frozen person, holding sleeping baby. Flight attendant comes back and says, "I told you she would calm down after take-off. She can sense your fear." Hmmm. Thank you.
After landing, baby starts squirming and whining again. You remind yourself that daddy will be waiting and soon you won't be taking care of squirmer alone. Finally, after what seems like an eternity, people start filing off the plane.
It was definitely the longest two-hour flight of your life.
Yeah, that was our trip home. Not cool whatsoever. But we made it back to Colorado and Daddy was there to rescue Mommy. And despite being terrible during the flight, Ashtyn's still the cutest thing ever. 🙂
What did I learn from all this? Never be late to the airport. Never travel without Jeff. Always make bottles before getting on the plane. And babies are going to cry on airplanes–it's a fact of life.

Important question, isn't it? What did I do last night, this past weekend, last week? Was it worth his sacrifice? We should reflect on how we spend the time we have been given. It is, after all, not ours to waste.

BAO LUO (lunch)
On our first day, I slept in and then we made our way to lunch having decided to dive right in and picked a place from one of the Tour books we have called Bao Luo (271 Fumin Lu)... the book says that if you blink you'll miss the place and that's completely true... a closed in front hall way in what appears to be a smaller place opens into a huge space with several floors. Apparently it is known for cheap and classic Shanghaiese dishes.
So we get there and decide to walk around a bit because it is going to be a 20 minute wait... we got a number like a deli counter... and 45 minutes later we got in....sort of reminded me of parts of the South... they tell you one time and then you just sort of have to wait and be patient... it will happen eventually.
Translations are always fun.... we're not sure if they were asking for tips or giving friendly advice:
Angie enjoying a Tsingtao beer, (the brewery was founded by German Settlers in China in 1903!) I had a Coke (much more prevalent than Pepsi, though I had that when I could) and a Tsingtao.
Dinner at the House of Blues
I'm just going to skip the day here and tell you about dinner later... so, at the end of the day, we went to a European styled place called Blues and Jazz and had a good dinner and watched some Jazz..
These guys were great, Norwegian older guys playing old standards and talking to the crowd in English... the lead singer sounded like Louie Armstrong. Weird. I talked to one of them during the intermission and told him I was from Chicago and he was really excited about it.

Boosting technology and accelerating digitization was one of the signature campaign platforms of São Paulo's mayor-elect João Dória as her promised to improve efficiency and services and trim the costs of the municipal administration
Once in office, Dória soon followed through on his pledge. In a cabinet reshuffle, he created a new department exclusively devoted to innovation and technology and named Daniel Annenberg, who used to run São Paulo's state Poupatempo program, as its leader.
In a telling move, Dória's chose his government slogan to be Acelera SP (Accelerate São Paulo).
To learn more about the objectives and priorities of São Paulo's new administration for technology and innovation, BNamericas spoke to the newly appointed head of the department.
BNamericas: What are the guidelines and priorities of the newly created technology and innovation department?
Annenberg: On the one hand, our work will be transversal. This means that the department will help the other city management offices and agencies basically in everything regarding the use of technology and innovation.
One example of that is the city's integrated operations and control center, to be launched soon, which will bring together the civil defense, metropolitan civil guards, transit authority and urban monitoring through CCTV, among other services. At the secretariat we're working on the system and the integration of these various bodies.
The expansion of electronic medical records locally and their integration between municipal and state health authorities is another example. We will work with the various levels of government, including the federal government, to make sure the records are accessible and are properly shared.
In terms of education, the city aims to accelerate the digitization of unified education centers.
On the other hand, our secretariat will also be responsible for the development of its own projects and for the automation and digitization of processes internally.
It should be noted that we're also responsible for key services inherited from other departments, such as the 156 number, which the public calls to obtain different types of attention and information and which receives more than 20,000 calls per day.
We intend throughout this year to have all the local administration phone numbers concentrated on 156.
BNamericas: Which companies will be partners in the integrated operations center? Was there a bidding process to choose them? And when is the center expected to go live?
Annenberg: All of this is still under discussion. We're working to define what the model will look like. There will be some cases in which I believe technology is likely to be donated to the city of São Paulo. In any case, it's impossible talk about deadlines yet. We're less than one month into this administration.
BNamericas: Regarding electronic medical records, do you have any data on the percentage of the municipal network currently adopting them?
Annenberg: We're increasing these figures. The mayor's priority in health now is the night service program at private hospitals, in partnership with the private network.
BNamericas: How is the digitization process going for city hall and its various departments?
Annenberg: It's advancing. At the department, we're responsible for SEI, which is the process digitization system. This is one of our department's main goals. Some 35% of the new processes and procedures [requests, forms, etc.] filed with the municipal administration are done so digitally. Our goal is to have 100% of them in digital format by the end of 2018.
On another front, we're also reviewing the current telecenters and the WiFi Livre SP project, which connects public squares with free Wi-Fi. Our objective is to have public Wi-Fi throughout the entire city, not just in the current 120 public squares, and we're talking to operators and other parties to see how that can be implemented.
BNamericas: The time is now being spent on meetings and planning then?
Annenberg: Yes, we're setting up the secretariat, evaluating the budget and taking note of things. What we've found out, for example, is that even within city hall, we don't have Wi-Fi in part of our facilities. There's plenty to do.
BNamericas: What do you think of smart city initiatives and what can be done in that direction in the city?
Annenberg: A lot. We intend to use some of the coming tenders, such as the public lighting one that will be re-tendered, to include sensors, Wi-Fi deployment. We should have a new tender to choose the bus transportation concessionaire. It's critical to have Wi-Fi at bus stops and for people to have applications to check on the movement of buses.
We want to use different channels to make the city smart.
BNamericas: What will be the strategy for start-ups?
Annenberg: This is another function of our department, working with start-ups. Mobilab is a laboratory launched under the past administration, with some very interesting initiatives to support start-ups through hackatons to develop applications that can be used by the public and in public management.
The lab was under the control of the urban mobility office and we have now brought it him under the wing of the innovation and technology area. We want to make it a hub for incubation and for partnerships with universities and the private sector.
All things considered, we'll make a huge effort with developers, incubators, accelerators and financiers so São Paulo will increasingly be seen as a start-up-friendly city.

A high-living, big-spending Catholic priest who bought a house, BMW and Caribbean vacations for a young male "friend" pleaded guilty yesterday to ripping off his Jersey Shore church of more than $2 million.
The Rev. Joseph Hughes, 62, faces up to five years in prison when he is sentenced next month for the swindle, which he pulled off between 1997 and 2004 while he was pastor of the Holy Cross Parish in Rumson, N.J.
The tony town is home to rock stars and multimillion-dollar mansions, and the portly priest was known for his own lavish lifestyle – despite a vow of poverty – that included meals at expensive restaurants, Giants football season tickets, a boat, and limo rentals.
As part of his plea bargain in Freehold Superior Court, Hughes also copped to failing to pay $120,229 in state income taxes on the money, much of which was skimmed from fund-raisers, charity golf outings, and auctions.
Hughes agreed to pay the $2,032,442 that he embezzled, as well as the back taxes.
The Diocese of Trenton said in a statement: "We are saddened . . . Father Joseph W. Hughes has been responsible for a serious criminal offense. We remain hopeful that his guilty plea and subsequent sentence will bring a sense of closure and opportunity for healing to his former parish community."
David Rogers, the 27-year-old carpenter who received a good deal of Hughes' largesse, has not been accused of wrongdoing.
Rogers moved into the Holy Cross rectory – which sports a hot tub – at Hughes' invitation in 1998, and until his dismissal shortly after the priest's arrest, earned $50,000 annually as a parish handyman. In 2003, Rogers moved into a $290,000 house in Howell, N.J., purchased by the cleric, who also bought him a sports car, a big-screen TV, jewelry and vacations.
Rogers' lawyer, David Sternlieb, said his client had "a father-son relationship" with Hughes, who is a friend of his grandmother and who took in the then-troubled youth after she asked for the priest's help. The lawyer denied Rogers and Hughes were romantically involved.
Hughes' priestly pilfering was exposed in late 2004, when the Trenton Diocese audited the church's books after Hughes won a bid to expand their buildings.
"I'm heartsick; my prayers are with him," said longtime parishioner Maria McGloin, 74. "What he did was terribly wrong, which he knows. But he's a human being. He was a very good priest, and he's a wonderful man."
But Courtenay Adams, 39, another parishioner, said, "There is a sense among some of us that he would [be sentenced to] more than five years, in light of the crime – and especially because as a priest, he was a potential role model for our children."

The Province of Barcelona and the Responsible Tourism Institute grant 245 companies the recognition "Commitment to the Biosphere Destination"
With the goal of promoting good sustainable management practices among tourism companies and services, the Barcelona Provincial Council, the Chamber of Commerce and the Responsible Tourism Institute (RTI) have promoted the recognition "Commitment to the Biosphere Destination". A recognition for tourism sustainability created from the "Biosphere Certification", which was collected yesterday by 245 companies and services of the region.
The president of the Barcelona Provincial Council, Mercè Conesa, the president of the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce, Miquel Valls, the councilor for Business and Tourism of the Barcelona City Council, Agustí Colom, and the president of the Responsible Tourism Institute, Tomás Azcárate, participated at the closing ceremony of the event.
Conesa has ensured that the "Provincial Council has a fundamental territorial strategy through sustainability and, respect for the environment and heritage." "We have to put in value - added the president of the Provincial Council - this Biosphere Commitment because we are creating the future from the tourism sector. We want to position our territory as one of the best destinations in the world».
Also, the second deputy chairman of the Provincial Council of Barcelona, Marc Castells, who has participated in the initial session, explained in this same line that "the Biosphere Commitment recognition is a priority line for the Provincial Council of Barcelona and allows us to continue moving towards a sustainable and responsible tourism».
The "Commitment to the Biosphere Destination" aims to extend the culture of tourism sustainability in tourist companies and services in the districts of Barcelona. It is a program developed by the Provincial Council of Barcelona and the Responsible Tourism Institute (RTI), whose main purpose is to implement more sustainable management models among all the agents of a tourist destination. The development and territorial implementation of the program were articulated with the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce, as a representative entity of the business sector of the districts of Barcelona with a large territorial implantation, and the 11 regional tourism management entities in agreement with the Provincial Council of Barcelona.
In this way, the Provincial Council of Barcelona and the Responsible Tourism Institute have promoted, along with the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce, a methodology to guarantee the quality and sustainability of public and private tourist services of a destination. A methodology born from the international prestigious certification "Biosphere", which allows acquiring sufficient skills for the sustainable management of these tourist services, in close relationship with the different tourist services of a destination. As a result of this voluntary implantation, the participating tourist services obtain the "Commitment to the Biosphere Destination" badge that can be renewed annually.
With this methodology, the Provincial Council of Barcelona has the "Biosphere Certification" through its tourism brands and, from now on, its tourism services and companies can be involved with its sustainability through the "Biosphere Commitment".
In 2017, the Responsible Tourism Institute, an organization linked through a Memorandum of Understanding to UNESCO and an affiliate member of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), awarded the Provincial Council of Barcelona and the three tourist brands of the region - "Costa Barcelona", "Paisajes Barcelona" and "Pirineos Barcelona" -, the Biosphere certification as a sustainable tourism destination, a pioneer certification based on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals integrated in the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations.

I feel as though time has flown by incredibly fast, but just as well, has been slow. I cannot hardly believe that I have been here for seventy days, but I'm used to my 'routine' and it's so familiar. This year has introduced more changes than any other.
My surroundings will change a lot, starting with the weather (just as it did when I came to Panama). Nowadays I get cold when it's seventy degrees out!
Depressing side of things:
No more Panamanian hugs for a year. I have always loved the little kids hugs, they energize me and make me feel special. I guess I never talked about the Panamanian's greeting and goodbye. We greet with a kiss on the cheek and end our time just the same. I really like this, because in the Bible it states 'greet each other with a holy kiss', and hardly anybody does this anymore in the states. When everybody greets me this way I feel the love of friends, and that of Panama.
I will miss Sanna, Nair, Oscar, Josh, and Joel a lot because we had our hang out group; going to the movies, to eat, to each other's houses, making food, STOMP concert, etc…Our times were extremely memorable because of the fun personalities that filled the air.
Not so depressing side of things:
There is so much that I will miss when I leave, but hardly any of it has to do with Panama. It's the people I will miss. The ones who show me love and accept me for who I am, those who have affected my life and changed it permanently.
I could not name all the people who I love, because there are so many. But categorized, these people include, my Panamanian family, the students of second grade C, some of the teachers, church friends, those who I shared sweat and blood with in construction, two specific wonderful girls from 7th and 9th grade..the list goes on.
These people have affected my life which will change how I am back in the states, and it's a good thing.
I have learned so much because of stepping back and purely observing the actions of those around me.
..depressing thing:
fifteen days left…
I miss home incredibly, so much about it I cannot wait to return to, but a piece of my heart will be left in Panama no doubt.
When one leaves the country, they are sure a change.
When on leaves the country on account of God's call, they are sure a transformation.
It's hard to describe all my emotions on this subject, but just giving you a glimpse of it: I will never be the same.

In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you can either stop home loan repossession or a minimum of momentarily prevent it. Chapter 13 works fantastic when someone has a sale date set up quickly and wishes to either buy themselves more time, stop the foreclosure or keep their house. In this post, you will discover a few of the within tricks to banruptcy and home loan repossession.
There are 2 kinds of bankruptcy, a Chapter 13 and a Chapter 7. A Chapter 7 is a total financial obligation liquidation and can free you from a lot of consumer financial obligation. While a Chapter 13 personal bankruptcy, it is a personal bankruptcy court authorized payment plan where the debtor pays pays back a part of their debts to an insolvency trustee for 5 years enabling the the trustee to pay the debtor's creditors.
There are several aspects of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy that work to assist individuals dealing with home mortgage foreclosure. The first aspect is really relevant to all insolvencies. It is called the "automatic.
By law, whenever anyone submits insolvency, no matter the kind of insolvency, there is an immediate "automated stay" (automated short-lived stopping) of a lot of civil proceedings against the person filing insolvency. What this indicates is that if someone is facing home mortgage repossession and the person files insolvency, the mortgage lender has to right away stop its' repossession action until it gets authorization for the personal bankruptcy court to proceed.
In a Chapter 13, the bankruptcy court will not raise the "automatic stay" and grant the home mortgage lender consent to proceed with a repossession till the debtor (the individual filing insolvency) cannot make his payments to the personal bankruptcy trustee. As long as the debtor pays the regular monthly payments to the trustee and pays his routine home loan payments, the "automated stay" will remain in force and the mortgage lender can refrain from doing anything.
The second element of a Chapter 13 that works in favor of people dealing with foreclosure is that it enables a debtor to pay home loan arrearage in time, typically 3 to 5 years. In most foreclosure cases, an individual has not paid his monthly home loan payment for several months and the mortgage loan provider demands full payment of the delinquent regular monthly payments (arrearage) in lump sum before the loan provider will think about stopping repossession. Many people can not pay the lump sum.
In a Chapter 13 insolvency, a debtor can pay the arrearage in time. He does not have to pay all of it at one time. Spreading out the lump sum gradually suggests paying smaller sized month-to-month payments up until the total arrearage is paid. A creditor can challenge the amount to be paid monthly to the arrearage, once the insolvency court approves the payment plan, the lender can not do anything except take the payments.
A 3rd aspect of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy that assists people facing home mortgage foreclosure is that unsecured creditors may be paid a part or all of exactly what is owed to them. Exactly what this is truly doing is lowering the quantity of debt that a person has to pay back each month. By paying unsecured lenders less each month, there is more cash offered with which to pay a protected creditor such as a mortgage lender. Therefore, it needs to be simpler for a debtor to pay his month-to-month home mortgage payment.
This is general information. If you need particular information or have any questions of any nature whatsoever, talk with an attorney accredited in your state.

Manuel Pellegrini is a man of quiet authority but immaculate intellectualism. The Chilean is thus one of the few football purist intelligentsia still around. His love for football to be played in a certain way – the attacking way – oozes out from all his teams.
What however contradicts him is that his teams rarely produce such tantalizing displays when required to.
Before his 4-1 demolition of Manchester United in the Manchester derby a few weeks ago, Pellegrini had overseen four goalless draws against the same club. At the same time, there was nothing majestic about how his Malaga disposed of Porto in last season's round of 16 tie. That they managed to win on the away goals rule did not speak much about his swashbuckling scintillating type of football.
Above all however, the Chilean is a man whose teams play better than they ultimately perform. It is probably why on occasion he has taken the pragmatist approach. Because for all the great feats he achieved with Villareal and Malaga, there was no denying that those teams just did not have the individual quality to compete at the highest level.
As such, it is why those feats are more memorable. Bridging that gap between the actual quality of his side and the quality required at the top level is part of the reason why he is considered a fine manager.
In two Champions League seasons with Villareal, his side got into one semi-final and one quarter final. Eventually, he would lose out on both occasions to Arsene Wenger – a purist with the type of resources that he craved.
In light of all this, it thus becomes perplexing that while at the helm of Real Madrid, he did not get past the round of 16. Indeed, Madrid provided him the sort of resources thought to be capable of magnifying his playing style further. That they did not is bare to certain factors but ultimately leaves the perception that he is the type of manager who performs best with meagre resources.
He must rectify this if he is to produce any sort of success for Manchester City. At the Manchester club, he possesses the finances to do as he pleases. In the summer, he did and a strong Spanish presence exists at the club. Eight of the first team squad are either Spaniard or have played in La Liga before. This typifies the type of football he aims to achieve.
The insistence on technique, possession football and movement exemplified by reverse runs has only materialised in glimpses so far. As such, the transition has not yet been fully completed.
But even when it is, Pellegrini must work out how he will make that glorious playing style produce a glorious record against top clubs. His one weakness lies in that. A thin line divides playing well and achieving success. That is the line Pellegrini must cross if he is to ensure that City do not for once exit the Champions League before the new year.

Datwyler to present packaging solutions at 2018 InnoPack Pharma Confex in India
Datwyler is set to present its packaging solutions and updates on the expansion of its production facility in India at the 2018 InnoPack Pharma Confex to be held in Mumbai, India.
As India's largest packaging event, InnoPack 2018 provides an ideal platform for pharma packaging professionals to exchange ideas and knowledge, network, form new alliances, and shape the future of the pharma packaging industry.
This year's conference will focus on new innovative solutions and latest technologies with the potential to enhance sustainability and simplify usage for patients. Rahul Dev, Vice President India at Datwyler, will contribute to the conversation as one of the official speakers at the event.
Datwyler will present its injectable drug delivery systems and the company's most advanced closure solution Omni Flex, entirely coated and free-of-surface-silicone elastomer components, which are exclusively manufactured at Datwyler's First Line aligned production sites.
Last year, Datwyler expanded its production site in Pune and upgraded the facility in accordance with the company's highest production standard First Line. The expansion is another milestone for cleanroom production and underscores Datwyler's commitment to the region.
Close to four billion components for vials, pre-filled syringes, and diagnostic devices are already being manufactured at the facility. First samples of the new line are expected to be supplied in August 2018 to regional and global markets. Once the production site is fully operational, the facility will cover approximately 58,000 square feet and create up to 500 jobs, which will be staffed by members of the local community.
India has been rapidly evolving to become one of the most important global manufacturing destinations, particularly in generics and biotech. Datwyler is already partnering with the top ten pharmaceutical companies operating in the region.

But, I would gladly give up MY foodstamps in order to stop cuts to families with small children, to the elderly and to Meals on Wheels. During the late 1960s through the 1980s, my mother raised 4 children by herself, without receiving any benefits of any kind, and without child support. She also worked 2 jobs, around the clock for many years. She was shunned at the food stamp office the one time she did apply and was denied. She was made to feel completely worthless for even attempting to get help through the government back then. One whole chicken would end up feeding us at least 3 meals - baked chicken the first night, sandwiches the next day, and boil what was left of the meat off the bones and made a hearty broth for Chicken (not much by then) and Dumpling or Soup. We never had steak or seafood or went out to eat or had fast food, but we never starved and we were never picky about what mom put on the table for us to eat each day. We were grateful for what she had provided through all of her hard work. It may be time for America to get back to those basics & learn to provide for themselves.

This is atrocious! They put their daughter in a dangerous situation that has now changed her life forever, and that of her unborn child - who unfortunately will probably grow up to repeat the behavior since we reap what we sow and do what we know - especially as children. In Tennessee, the law states an adult or minor can be charged with sexual abuse if is an age difference of 4 years or more. So, here he could have gotten charged & at age 17 probably would have been charged as an adult and served jail time of 5-15 years. Every state has different laws on this, of course. It is time for the laws in Arkansas to be changed in regards to this - both for the older male (in this case) and for the parents of the underage girl. IMHO, I think both the young 'man' and the parents should be charged with at least Child Endangerment, if not with sexual abuseCarla Clarkhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123173023708188909.post-39304449424163070012013-07-22T21:45:19.484-05:002013-07-22T21:45:19.484-05:00What would you do if there were no Food Stamps??. ...What would you do if there were no Food Stamps??.

The final week has arrived!
With one final major component left of calibrating the coiling up and down of the containers, we are well on track to complete the project on time.
First, we had to locate the position to secure the bicycle brakes. Once they were secured at the correct position, we had to calibrate the time taken for the container servos to lower down and raise the containers. As the timing would be hardcoded into the Arduino application, it had to be as precise as we could get it to be. On hindsight, to make the system perfect, we would have used limit switches to detect the position of the container, simplifying the overall process.
It was quite a daunting task as we had to raise it up to 2 metres above ground while I actively changed the code and experimented around with setting different durations for the motor's rotation. We had to elevate the boat on the stairs railings and even went downstairs to perch it on a railing in front of the auditorium. It was quite a comical sight! Eventually we calibrated it close enough to what we needed it to be.
On Friday, Hwee Peng and I spent 3 hours at the poolside calibrating it while it was on water as Ryan and Thomas had classes on during the time. Thankfully it didn't rain but the sun was scorching hot and we were baking in the heat. But fret not – we came out victorious after we successfully got the containers working with about an 80% success rate! We also got the motors working well, although it still draws a high current and puts a strain on the transistors, it moves enough!
A wave of satisfaction just washed over us when we managed to get a recording of all of Imp Bot's functions for the video, and also successfully prepared it for Monday's demo. The next step was to record ourselves talking about Imp Bot! We booked the photo studio at the main library to record ourselves in there, as it is designed for recording purposes with a white backdrop and appropriate lighting equipment.
Stay tuned for the video and the conclusion to the Engineering & Design module on Monday!

This is an older image shot somewhere in the state of New York last fall. I've looked at it from time to time but this version is the first that I've liked. Joe Browning captured a similar scene during the same trip.

Now if people will actually start taking this seriously.
I hope so. I hope Lyme awareness is completely different in a few years
Yup Recently my doc had my husband tested. We find out soon if he has it too
I hope he doesnt
this really worries me…recently talked to my doctor said the research is very very mixed, and if it is transmitted it would be when it is active and easier to transmit from male to female. I've had many partners and hope I haven't compromised them. I also just started dating a guy who had lyme a long time ago (got the rash and did 30 days antibiotics)..I'm worried I might give it to him…. jeez… not good…..
That is tough Kris. The research is still controversial but a lot of well versed LLMD's will say that it can be transmitted this way but maybe not as easily as blood. There are also some Lyme patients in support groups that can attest to the fact that they believe they transmitted it to their partners or vice versa.
I know My LLMD said he thought if transmission did happen, it would be with someone who I had frequent sex with over a long period of time. My now ex and I had unprotected sex the entire two years we were together, and so far he doesn't show any symptoms..but who ever knows with lyme!! 😦

Oldest trees in Sydney?
In the Botanic Garden is this tree, there is a sign beside it saying it is a direct decedent of trees that were here in 1816. Mmmmm. It is an Eucalyptus Tereticornis or a Forest Red Gum.
