    Now Playing! See My Psychiatric Times and Medical Word News Juggling Videos

    My juggling video is up for viewing now on the Psychiatric Times website! The title is “A Journey of Juggling.” It’s in the section called More Than Medicine. You can also find it on the Medical World News website with a slightlly different title, “After Hours: Juggling 101.” It’s in the section called After Hours.…

  • Sena Returning New Coffee Maker Today Already!

    Sena Returning New Coffee Maker Today Already!

    Well, Sena’s returning the new Mecity coffee maker today. Go figure, we just got it. There’s really nothing wrong with how it works. It’s a little tough to remove the pod after the brewing is done. It would be nice to have a machine able to make a full mug of coffee, which would mean…

  • A New Coffee Maker!

    A New Coffee Maker!

    Sena got a new coffee maker. It’s a Mecity single serve which uses coffee pods like a Keurig but doesn’t cost an arm and leg. I don’t know why it’s called “Mecity.” It gets good reviews. She also got a good deal on 100 coffee pods. One of them is a mystery. It’s got a…

    Parody vs Satire on Old X-File Show

    I see Dr. George Dawson blogged about an interesting movie he saw. And Dr. H. Steven Moffic watched an interesting play the other day. I like science fiction. I watched an old X-File show the other night, “War of the Coprophages.” You can read a Wikipedia article for a nice summary of the plot and…

  • Heat Joke Alert On the Loose!

    Heat Joke Alert On the Loose!

    The Excessive Heat Warning is still on, so you’re going to need another heat joke: Knock, knock. Who’s there? Kenya. Kenya who? Kenya open the door so I can fix your air conditioner? I’m hoping for your sake this will be the last heat joke alert.

  • Heat Joke Alert for Crying Out Loud!

    Heat Joke Alert for Crying Out Loud!

    The heat wave continues and the heat joke today is: Q: What do we say about politicians during a heat wave? A: It’s not the heat, it’s the stupidity. The Heat Index could go as high as 114 degrees. The end might be in sight on Friday. Hang in there and stay cool.

  • Can You Fry an Egg on a Driveway on a Hot Day?

    Can You Fry an Egg on a Driveway on a Hot Day?

    Sena tried to fry an egg on our driveway yesterday—and it did not go well. Let’s get the basic internet caveat out of the way. Somebody is always asking this question about whether or not you can fry an egg on a hot day. The usual answer is something like, “It’s possible but not probable”…

  • Heat Joke Alert Again!

    Heat Joke Alert Again!

    Here’s another heat joke. Q: How hot is it? A: It’s so hot, you don’t have to be a liar to set your pants on fire. All you have to do is step outside. It’s no joke, frankly. Heat index values could be in the 110-115 degree range. The Excessive Heating Warning has been extended…

  • The Drain Grate Flipper is Back

    The Drain Grate Flipper is Back

    Some of you may remember last year’s drain grate flipping saga in which something removed one of our back yard tile drain grates nearly every day for a while last fall. It’s happening again! This time it occurred during a pretty fierce heat wave which is still ongoing. It was so hot, the videos and…

  • Heat Joke Alert!

    Heat Joke Alert!

    OK, I got sort of a Dad joke about the heat. It’s about 106 degrees now with the heat index in Iowa City. Q: What do you call a flying saucer on a really hot day? A: An Unidentified Frying Object Believe it or not, I couldn’t find this joke anywhere on the internet. So…
