This post is primarily for Sangita

I was talking to Sangita the other day. She mentioned how entertaining she was finding this blog. Now in her defense, since I consider this to still be a pretty boooorrring blog, nothing as informative as Ted's at tedbarlow.blogspot.com or such, but ... anyway ... Sangita is in her medical resdency program. For those not in the know, which is probably every who isn't related to / dating someone in the medical field, the order is as following.

1. College 4-6 years


2. Medical school 4ish years


3. Internship ... I think this happens during the tail end of Medical School


4. Residency program 4-6 years depending on if you're studying for Pediatrics, Surgery, Radiology, Dermatology, etc


5. You FINALLY join a practice and make more than minimum wage (esp if you calculate it over the hours)

That being said. All of these are very busy times. More so the Internship and Residency. When you're working, there's barely time for food much less laundry or catching a flick. When you can secure a few days for yourself (ie, you're not going to get paged), you get out of dodge, visit someone and take a rest. Most importantly, you catch up on sleep.

Ok, so that being said ...


Sangita finds me talking about Blanche entertaining. That's right boys and girls, there's someone out there who's actually entertained by the bowel movements of our little 10 month old Whippet puppy! Who would have ever guessed.

So even though I've spent most of this entry talking about Sangita, this one's for you :

So we're out for a morning walk. Usually Blanche has a bowel movement at the beginning of a walk if at all. However, we're nearly 1/2 through a pretty long walk. All of a sudden, I look over, and she's in the position. Thankfully, it was pretty quick, uneventful, easy to clean up, etc ...

except it was at the house at the corner. the house where monsignor lives.

can any catholics / ex-catholics tell me if it's a minor sin if your dog poops on the lawn of a monsignor?
