10:11 I spy...a snuggly Grub! #
10:36 I'm going to renew my CPR certification soon. Let me know if you might like to join me (class ~3 hrs, cost ~$50-70). Save a life! #
11:56 CPR/AED-Adult+CPR-Child/Infant (20 Sep, 9A-3:30P @ Oakland Red Cross). Then late brunch at @xthread's. Reg here: tinyurl.com/cprclass #

08:23 The Large Hadron Collider is in effect. It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine. #
08:30 Warmest wishes for a fabulous birthday to the amazing @karenbynight! #
14:12 Spouting gibberish, apparently. And saddened by expired yogurt. #

09:28 Coffee w/ Rabbit, then we hop off to East Bay to consult w/ another surgeon to see if I'm a good candidate for alternate jaw surgery. Eek! #
14:39 Brilliant news: new Dr can redo my jaw surgery (BSSO), w/ almost no chance of failure this time around. But first we wait for bone to heal. #
15:13 No guarantees, of course, but this Dr specializes in difficult mandible surgeries. Even if break occurs, he has a plan B (former Dr didn't). #
16:27 Back in the workshop, hurling the gauntlet of science into the frightful face of death itself. Give my creation...life! #
17:53 I should have known that setting the cup of clear antiquing solution next to my cup of drinking water could only end in tears. #
01:26 Strapping on my well-made greaves; it has begun. Tharrei, O Odysseu, ton noston dioke! #

11:40 Sunny bike ride to the cafe with Her Grubliness for a light lunch. #
16:56 Lolling about on the grass with the Grub and looking forward to dinner with the Girl. Perhaps we'll pick her some lemons. #

09:18 Jubilant birthday wishes to @otter_be! #
19:44 I should know better than to stop by the craft store on the way home "just to pick up one thing." But they had spooky Halloweeny stuff! #

13:22 Breakfast at Hobees with @shoutingboy, then more storytime. Now tinkering in my workshop. #
15:26 Three Theriaca Fina pieces finished and ready to mail out, and I've only sustained one grievous injury in the process. Net win. #
18:50 Food high. Sweet @tutordennis made red beans and rice with kiełbasa s(n)ausage for my hungry tummy. #
21:49 Sometimes, one finds that a previous decision was indeed very well-made. The membrane breaks, and the heart grows gills and breathes deep. #
