The old man is snoring

We had a beautiful day yesterday. You know one of those Minnesota September days where the leaves are starting to change, the skys are blue, a sweatshirt feels nice, but you can get by with a long sleeve T-Shirt. You know, one of those days.

Today, however, is a rainy, gray typical Minnesota September day. Of course this is the day that I hoped to move. I got to EPBR at 6:45 (see last post for how much fun I'm having). Andy and Ben got to my place at about 9:00 and have been back and forth with 4 or 5 loads already. The Walvatnes were going to bring their trailer so they could load everything onto it, and hopefully make it over in one trip. However, because it is an open trailer, and because it is pouring, they've gone to plan B and are bringing over their van and will try to get everything else moved in another 4 or 5 trips. I feel for Andy, he's going to have a really long day.

I will leave here at 7:30 (or so), go home and pack up the last things, and clean. My goal is to be completely done and out of the house by midnight. I'll go home and crash somewhere and be back here by 6:30 tomorrow...

Wish you were here!

EP Board Review

I'm sitting at the EP Board Review Course, and really wishing I'd gotten more than 3.5 hours of sleep last night.

Here's an example of what I'm hearing " Q: What is the best interval to test to see if there is bundle block or no bundle block? Answer: What you want to see as soon as you go out of the bundle branch is earliest V to earliest A" or Q: When the bundle branch goes away are you going to need to set the PVCs eariler or later? A: Even earlier, you're now pacing from the ...." Yeah, makes no sense to me either. I've only had 3 questions that I've had to do anything with, and I've been here since 6:45. I am so glad I'm not planning to take my Cardiology Boards anytime soon.

Bet you wish you were here...

Williamsons

It sure is nice having Grandma at Mom and Dad's house. I'm getting pictures of people I haven't seen for a long time. If I read the note right the whole Williamson clan (minus Matthew and April) got together in Michigan over Labor Day. Looks like fun.

West Coast

Dad sent pictures from Tim and Jan's visit with Aunt Jeanette in Stanwood, where Grandma is visiting for a few weeks. I think that they visited Nick and Leo before or after Stanwood, but I'm not sure of who they saw when. You've probably all seen these, but thought I'd post a few of of them in case you hadn't.

Montanist

Been reading a bit about Justinian I and Theodora I. (483-565), and came across this quote.

"he prosecuted the heretical Montanists"

I have read a bit out the Montanists, although right now I can't remember their specific heresy (something to do with the divinity of Christ, I think).

Anyway, my real question. Is a Montanist (the heretic) pronounced the same way that a fan of Montana would be?

I see my self as a strong Montan(a)ist, and would maybe go so far as to say that I promote Montan(a)ism. Poor Justinian, if he only knew that we'd still be promoting such things 1500 years later...

JAC is 6-months old plus

Last Friday the Stewartvillians invited me over for family night (N & F were in town too). It also happened to be JAC's 6-month birthday, so I thought I'd share some pictures of him. Isn't he getting big? He doesn't even look like the same baby from my posts last month. Jama and Nani, wanted in on the pictures, so these are some silly pics of them too.
