House. SDF. Birfday.
o the planet managed to circle the sun once more since this post, and I'm still standing, none the worse for wear.
Worth celebrating, especially since I've now outlived the average guy in Medieval England, eh? :)
[Obligatory tin-can-rattling].
In entertainment news, thanks to
bradtastic, I have developed a full-blown addiction to House, M.D. which premiers its third season tonight.
One of my favorite quotes from the pilot rings with particular resonance for whatever reason
Rebecca Adler: I just want to die with a little dignity.
Dr. House: There's no such thing! Our bodies break down, sometimes when we're 90, sometimes before we're even born, but it always happens and there's never any dignity in it. I don't care if you can walk, see, wipe your own ass. It's always ugly - always! We can live with dignity - we can't die with it.
Tomorrow, I will be going to Gilroy, CA to meet with the good folks at the Search Dog Foundation (where I volunteer) and watch them showcase the newest 'graduates' of their search-and-rescue dog training program.
Until then ...
