if you say don't look back

My first call this morning was killer. We're taking calls for the Department of Health because they got flooded out of their building a couple weeks ago. I just listened to a horror story of hospital incompetance that resulted in a man's agonizing, useless, preventable death. His widow was calling, and mentioned in passing his service as a Marine, thirty nine years working for the railroad, how he called her Duchess, all their long years together. It was one of the saddest things I've heard. Health care should not be a for profit industry. It just shouldn't.

Yesterday I never got around to updating my livejournal, which is silly given how much nothing I did. I *did* get up to have coffee and then lunch with brienze at Korea House. Mmm delicious sushi. I ate the fried head of a prawn, a bright red baby octopus, lots of delicious salmon roe, a perfect scallop, more shrimp, fried softshell crab and sea bass. It was so delicious and I want to eat more.

Packing has commenced, slowly. I need to get the books done, and it will be less scary. This means I am on mission to acquire boxes.

The trick is to avoid buying yet more liquor while I am there... ;)

If I could, I would teleport all of my empty boxes to you.

We really need to get on that teleportation device. Why is Tyler not building this for us?

Find a box store.

If you are really serious about getting good boxes for your stuff, find your local box store. I'm not talking about a Wal-Mart "Big Box Store", these are stores that sell nothing but boxes and bubble wrap. I don't know about Austin, but in Houston there is a chain called Anchor Box. You shouldn't be paying more than about $1.50 a box, and there are all different sizes to choose from. Also, books are heavy. Get a size box that won't kill you when it is full of 'em.
