Laying Low

Joint Commission is cruising through the hospital this week. Time for me to lay low and keep a low profile. Not that much of what I do will draw their attention, but the less of it I have to deal with, the better.

More yummy chinese food

Went to another very yummy Chinese restaurant Friday night. Dragon Palace out on Daniel Island.

It’s an unassuming place in a strip mall, but inside it’s gorgeously decorated. The smells and tastes reminded me of eating at Chinese restaurants back home in Edmonton. Had Roasted duck with shitake mushrooms, steamed conch and beef chow mein. Very tasty food, not as warm as I would have liked, but still very tasty.

Saturday we went back for lunch. This time we tried the dim sum items on their menu. There aren’t many of them sadly. We ordered shrimp dumplings, pork dumplings, little juicy pork buns (another dumpling variant), and the roast duck cold plate. It’s not a traditional dim sum with carts wheeled around, but the food was pretty tasty.

Now all Charleston needs is a real Chinese restaurant with real dim sum service on Sundays.

Which Biological Molecule Am I?

You are water. You’re not really organic; you’re
neither acidic nor basic, yet you’re an acid
and a base at the same time. You’re strong
willed and opinionated, but relaxed and ready
to flow. So while you often seem worthless,
without you, everything would just not work.
People should definitely drink more of you
every day.

Remember

Lest We Forget

 11 AM, November 11, 1918

Today marks the 85th anniversary of the end of World War I, the Great War, the War to End All Wars.

In Flander’s Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

A pox on blog spammers

The masses are stirring, provoked by the likes of Adam Kalsey, Jeremy Wright and Jay Allen’s MT Blacklist plugin.

Junk mail in my mailbox is already a PITA. Spam in my email is even more of a PITA. At least I have filters that trash most of it before I get to see it. But to have to deal with it in my blog is about the last straw.

So, if you blog with MovableType, make sure you have the latest version of MT-Blacklist installed. Declare your blog a spam-free zone and fight back against spammers.

I still want to shoot them with large cannons.
