Ari Is Not A Real (Estate) Novelist

Ari Is Not A Real (Estate) Novelist

Have you ever been listening to Piano Man by Billy Joel and wondering exactly what a Real Estate Novelist is, or how Paul can be one? Turns out there is no such thing as a real estate novelist. He is just a real estate broker who’s been working on a novel for a long time. I can identify with Paul on that one but you would have to call me an Electronics Technician Novelist. A lot of times I don’t…

Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Electronically

Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Electronically

I stared at the computer screen: OPEN 1,8,15,”S:RH05″:CLOSE 1| It was the fall of 1985 and I was sitting in my high school computer lab. There were 20 Commodore PET computers (see featured image) in the lab all sitting on a long table in the middle of the room. 10 of the computers were on one side facing 10 other computers on the other side so that it formed two rows. I was on the right hand side at the…

Things Not Groin The Way I Hoped

Things Not Groin The Way I Hoped

That’s not a typo in the title. You’ll see in a minute. A couple of posts ago I wrote an update to my ongoing liver problems. I talked about how I had a new nurse practitioner that went to bat for me with my liver doctor to get the ball rolling on a living liver transplant. If you look in the comments below that post you’ll see that I got good news about how my doctor waived my MELD score…

Just As Good As A Real One

Just As Good As A Real One

My Dad is a great guy. He stuck around my whole life. He taught me how to be a responsible adult. He even helped me out a lot this hell year of medical issues. So I’m trying to find a nice way to say what I’m about to say. I can’t think of a nice way, so I’ll just say it. My Dad is a cheapskate. He puts in maximum effort in order to save a minimum amount on something….

Just A Sliver Of A Liver Post

Just A Sliver Of A Liver Post

This is not much of a post. It’s been a bit since I whined about my medical problems so I thought I would give y’all a small update. I’ve been languishing in an oxymoronic purgatory, waiting to get worse so I can get better. I had to make another change in medical professionals treating me. I am still seeing the same liver doctor but I changed to a different nurse practitioner. The NP does most of the hands on interaction…
