I'm already tired.
I had this incredibly transcendant moment during the John Mayer concert last weekend. It was at red rocks so the scenery was incredible, the weather was set to absolutely perfect, the music was just amazing, and the songs had pre-assigned meaning for me, and then on top of all that at one point I wandered down and listened to most of a song from like the 3rd row. Also, I knew that having nice relaxing moments like this will be a less frequent occurence now that the whole Gray's Anatomy has begun, so it all totalled to a life-stopping moment. Haven't had one in a while.
Other than that, I miss my wife and child. I had a horrible and drawn-out nightmare regarding my wife last night. I'm incredibly nervous about starting my job this weekend, yet at the same time I think the actual job portion won't be that bad. Taking call and cross-covering for every known surgical service in the universe will be absolutely horrifying. My first call is Monday night. Be ye forewarned.
On the plus side, the people who are interns with me seem to be real good folks. Especially 3 or 4 of them. Kind of reminds me of the mission in that you know that they are experiencing the same bull crap as you and they have a similar view of the situation, so it just makes you feel that much better.
Pete has a nice Tom Brokaw style (maybe more like Neil Armstrong style) sign off for his blog. I need one too I think. How about:
And that's the truth...PBBBSSSSSTTTTTTT.

Reader's Digest version
Lemme esplain. No, is too much. Lemme sum up.
Thought the house was sold. Moving company waits till worst time ever to announce that they weren't coming. Got a new moving company in a rush. Moved across the country. House was not, in fact sold. New moving company was worse than the first and as of 20 days after picking it up they have still not delivered our stuff. I have grown quite accustomed to sleeping on the floor, so it's nice to know that I have that skill leveled up to 375*. Melissa left for Spain. Lucie is in SLC. I am lonely. My cats are not adequate company. I'm sick of food that can be cooked in our one cooking implement: the oven. Started orientation today. Sewed a pig stomach together.
Please check out this page on my website for all of the billions of cell phone pics I recently uploaded.
Here are some high quality pics for your viewing enjoyment:
I miss lucie as much as my cats like to chew through speaker cable. And that is a LOT.
Here she is: the SS SoccerMom. Her maiden voyage across the US was fairly uneventful. Thankfully.
The king has returned home!
Ok, here's his real home.
I would've taken a picture of the mayor if we could've found him.
She seems like a big scary cartoon character in this one.
Not so scary anymore.
These are mostly just so I can look at them and miss her.
She looks so crazy in this one. I love it.
McCall Koelpin has arrived! So cute. I can't wait until she goes to McCall. Let the confusion abound!
Now righted. Still cute!
Will definitely does not suffer from a lack of the cuteness either.
Oh My Gosh, a high chair? How great!
Doesn't she look like a mischievous christmas elf? Or a Naga Siren*?
Holy crap, come home already!!!

I've got me some ideas
There are lots of things I need to blog including but not limited to: The x-country trip with pics, the Police concert, etc. But until I can find the motivation, please check out this awesome thing that happened to me. This may confirm some of Eddie Vedder's long-held suspicions:

Gosh, I'm feeling prolific
The other day a lady in our parking lot asked if I had any jumper cables. Sadly I did not. Later, her mother arrived and I thought, "I should offer to help." Thinking that I was a sexist pig for assuming that they would need my help, I did not offer any. Then, they got the car all fired up and immediately the horn started honking. It was a sad honk, but still a constant honk. Even still I did not offer to help for a couple of trips between my car and the apartment (I was unloading all the crap we brought from MD). Finally, I decided to not be a schmuck. I sauntered over and said "can I help?" The daughter frantically asked "Do you know how to disconnect the horn?!??!?!??" I had an apostrophe. ["I think you mean an epiphany." "Lightning...has just struck my brain." "Ah, well that must hurt."] "Have you tried removing the fuse?" "The fuse!" she replied. Within seconds I discovered the strange under-the-hood placement of the fuse box, and after having demanded the owner's manual, I found the proper fuse, yanked it out, and immediately the horn stopped. (please sing along)
Fact: We need a nanny.
Fact: The neighbors directly across the hall from us seem like a trustworthy couple and have one daughter almost exactly a year older than ours.
Fact: The mother used to be a Pre-school teacher, also used to nanny other children, but is currently not employed.
So, Peter. I heard that your brother AND best friend live in Colorado now. Hmm...sure would be easy to find an excuse to visit the mile high city, now wouldn't it?
I was hauling crap from my car (same timestamp of first story) up to our 3rd floor apartment and multiple times felt faint and had to sit down. I was also really winded and thought, "gosh, I"m sure out of shape." A few hours later I remembered that I am now about 5000 feet higher up than Baltimore. Isn't science fun!?!? I'm going to start smoking and taking iron pills to see just how high my hematocrit can climb.
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night!
Cause he's got to be fast and he's got to be strong, and he's got to be larger than life!"

Salt Lake 2.0
Did you know that Denver is just like Salt Lake City? Enough so that my brain actually thinks that it is in SLC and that if I wanted I could drive over to a friend and/or family relation's house?
Point #2. Living without furniture sure sucks. I cannot sleep on a mattress that gradually loses air during the night until you wake up on the ground.
Point #3. Please stay tuned for photos of the worlds coolest washer and dryer that we recently bought. Thank you to the rich person who thought a small dent in the corner of said washer rendered it useless and also to Lowe's for marking down this same machine 50% for said aforementioned dent. Just to whet your appetite: it has the ability to clean your clothes with nothing other than cold water and silver ions. That's right, I said SILVER IONS!!!
