  • Bamboo in my Brain

    We just met with the neurosurgeon at KU Med to look at the images they shot during the angiogram. He had told me after the procedure and again today that he was correct in his initial assessment, it is a dural arteriovenous fistula. Today he went into a little more detail about the procedure. Basically,… Read more

  • Brain Update

    The Arteriogram was yesterday. It went well but it wasn’t the most pleasant experience. I now have a hole in my upper leg/groin area that hurt like a @#%(!. The day was very long. Originally we were supposed to be there at 11:00 to sign in and prep for a 12:00 procedure. It got bumped… Read more

  • What’s going on in my Brain or Somthing on My Mind…

    As some of you may know, a little over a year ago I had a mass removed from the crown of my skull. Initially my physician and the general surgeon that he referred me to thought it was just a mass of fatty tissue. It had been there for a couple of years and never… Read more

  • Bon Iver at the Uptown with Kathleen Edwards

    I love seeing bands I like perform live. Some of the best concerts are ones in which the band does something a little different than what you’ve heard before. Bon Iver played at the Uptown last night and they were surprisingly loud and flexible with their music. One of my favorite performances of the evening… Read more

  • Introducing My Next Tattoo

    I got my first tattoo on my first wedding anniversary with Maura. I’ve been trying to decide what to do for my second the moment I walked out the door of Exile Tattoo. I’ve toyed with various ideas – cephalopods, skulls/bones, mechanical parts, etc. and couldn’t really decide on anything. I also knew I wanted… Read more

  • Spicy Coconut Shrimp Soup

    Maura’s had a pretty bad cold all week, so although we had reservations for a nice Valentine’s Day dinner on Saturday night, we cancelled them and stayed in. Instead we made an incredibly tasty soup. It’s very quick and easy, but so full of flavor! A few of you asked for the recipe after I… Read more

  • Blogging, Scooting, etc.

    I know, I know. Yet another post about post (in)frequency. I’ll make no excuses; I’ve neglected this blog for several months. I guess it’s a combination of Twitter, free time, and Winter blahs. Strangely enough, now that I’m starting to get motivated again, I’m also about to get really busy with the web dev thing.… Read more
