I've read through most of your blog, incl the 100 things and how a heart transplant isn't like in the movies. The "I'm a giver" joke didn't quite work in that context. In the end I asked myself if I would want to go through that transplantation business. Maybe if I had children. For myself probably not.

That ought to cheer him up. Feel free to piss in the punch bowl while you're at it.

I think Kolya was saying it sounds like a horrendous thing to go through and he would rather just live out his natural life with the heart he was born with, so I dont think he was trying to take the piss or anything.

It's obvious if you read what fett wrote about the transplantation. Of course it still wasn't a cheery remark, but acknowledging that it's a shitty situation either way.

Yeah, I actually totally agree with Koyla. If it weren't for my kids being so young I would say "fuck it" to the whole thing and go bash the shit out of a drumset for the remainder of my natural life. Or at least visit Europe again.
Thanks for the reads, everyone.
also, fuck you, renz :)

@heywood - We rarely stay home anyway. Plans are to for the kids to take ski and snowboarding lessons, plus we've got a trip to Montreal, NYC, and a literary exploration of Connecticut in the works. Between all that, Skype Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments, geocaching, the library, and frequent trips to Boston, we intend to stay really busy the next few months. Does Hannover have more stuff to do than the Dartmouth area?

Well, best of wishes and its absolutely forbidden to kick the bucket.

By the way, how does one go about literary exploration, especially of a state like Connecticut that's like the size of an ambitious industrial park isn't it? Is it like a Hollywood tour of famous authors' houses, or more like casing sites from famous stories, or something completely different?
Just curious. :)
Edit: For the record, this is the kind of stuff I liked to do when I was living in NYC. There are so many little back corners that had some famous scene in history or were in a story or some famous author or person lived there. I loved just taking a weekend stroll out to see some of them.

Just meant that a lot of popular (and not so well known) authors work or live in Connecticut for some reason. There are some official "tours" like this, but we'll most likely make up our own and just make day trips out of it if possible. The boys are used to a weekly coffeehouse for reading/breakfast, field trip in the afternoon kind of thing. Not sure how that will play out with the winter weather though. 3 weeks and counting. Can't wait to get the hell out of Arkansas again and be on the road to parts unknown.
