I’ve been watching the first season of House on DVD over the past week or more, and I’m pretty sure I’d be able to intubate someone if I need to. It seems like every patient needs to be intubated at some point during their treatment, and they do make the procedure look pretty easy.

Some Always One-Ups Me
Just when I thought I had a great time at a baseball game, those darn Improv Anywhere guys share the story of their latest adventure. I’ve always been a fan of experiments in audience control.
Yet Another Season of “Volunteering”
Somehow, I once again agreed to run marching band competitions this fall for your favorite organization and mine. They also want me to stop by their “new” office in Allentown, Pennsylvania — they moved several years ago, so it’s not really that new, but I haven’t been there — to teach the newest incarnation of the revolving staff how to use a database program I designed in 2000 or 2001. Transmission of communal knowledge is like a game of telephone, and by now, the connection seems to have become pretty bad. I haven’t seen the software in years, and I bet people have tried changing tables, queries, and other stuff they shouldn’t have been touching.
Apparently, I’ll be visiting the office during one of the weekends I’m not already signed up for a marching band show. I’m not taking off a day from my real job to visit them, although that is what they requested. Yeah, right.
