Don't judge me.

I'm on vacation...

I was sad when I couldn't find their podcasts anymore...

Ask me anything about Will Shakespeare.

I've visited with him a few times. He's a not very pleasant diabetic patient who refuses to comply with his treatment plan. His hemoglobin A1c is sky-high.

He came in today for I don't know what; he obviously doesn't care about the state of his health. I had ordered a glucose and A1C level on him anyway. I was at my desk closing out the chart of my previous patient when the lab tech came to me and told me: "He won't let me get his blood. He told me to fuck off."

I got up off my chair, opened the door to the exam room and told him to get out.

"I wasn't doing anyth-"

"I don't care. Get out! You don't talk to the staff like that."

I turned around and went back into my office.

After he left, my team members gave me a round of applause, which I hadn't expected. Then I went back to my desk to document the incident and cool off. I was shaking so bad. I hate confrontations!

But you don't fuck with my staff; in any sense...

I've Googled it, and all I'm getting are past vigils for American gun massacres, and the Charlie Hebdo attacks.

Yes, my wife, the staunch Republican, will likely be voting for the Democratic candidate in 2016. That means for two election cycles in a row, she will not have voted republican for President.

She voted very reluctantly for John McCain in 2008.

She voted, readily if not happily, for Barack Obama in 2012.

If Hillary Clinton gets the nomination (and it looks more and more likely that she will) Mrs. Aristus will vote for her.

She said this evening, after watching a news breakdown of the umpteenth Benghazi hearing yesterday: "We need a woman in the White House."

Naturally, I'm so proud I could split!...

Relaxing with some Burgundy and a pizza.

How's everyone doing tonight?

I was on last night, but it was Thursday, and I didn't have a lot of takers...

Sipping some red wine, and waiting for a pizza delivery. Just relaxing with some music on the iPod Home and a brand new book.

"Thou hast cast away thyself, being like thyself
A madman so long, now a fool.

Timon Of Athens, Act IV, Scene 3, Lines 222-223.
