I’ve been pretty quiet for a couple weeks since we were getting ready for the new house, moving into the new house, and dealing with all the fun new house issues.
I was one shit hot paramedic.
All you had to do was ask me.
I was smart; no question about that. So smart that I was accepted to paramedic school (p-school) due to some really high test scores, despite being a year or so short of the required amount of field experience. I started school when I was 21, basically the earliest you can drive an ambulance in Colorado due to insurance requirements, and was one cocky 22 year old by the time I graduated and went on the job. I think I graduated number 2…
Over the holiday weekend my wife were walking across a big mall parking lot as we made our way from dinner to the only bar in our area carrying the big UFC fight. (Way more fun to watch than boxing anymore).
By the time I pulled back into the parking lot after lunch at home, I knew something was wrong.
The first sign was the ambulance racing out towards the hospital with full lights and sirens.
In the Chicago airport bouncing off to Germany after a week in New Orleans. Only getting 2 days home over 2 weeks or so.
Tomorrow my wife and I leave for New Orleans. We’re taking in the Jazz Fest, and celebrating our 1-year anniversary.

So a student creates a map of his school for a video game mod, and gets arrested and kicked out of school.
Much to our own surprise, last August my wife and I decided to buy our first new “new” house in the Desert RIdge area of Phoenix. The closest I’ve ever come to having a house built was helping build a house.
I turn 36 today. I’m not really sure how that happened. Neither are a lot of other people.
I realize 36 is still fairly young, but it’s definitely not my 20’s anymore. My father died around age 64, so technically I’m past mid-life by his standard, although I’m pretty darn certain I can stretch well past that. With cryogenic freezing advances I might even make it to “indefinite”.
I really don’t mean to turn this blog into a media rant, but I’m on a roll today and will keep it short.
