Just in Passing

Couple of thoughts that cropped up for no reason in particular.

First, I happened to remember something from when I was being taken to the hospital. The paramedics had asked a series of questions (which I answered as accurately as I could), and were about to bring in the gurney to start transporting me … and one of them bent over to pick up a 2-liter plastic bottle full of insulin syringes, and said, “You say you’re not diabetic?” At which point we got to explain that they were for our dog. Believe it or not, that was a comic moment.

Second, my son in China hearkened back to memories of us all as a family singing “We Three Kings” for Christmas, each of us taking a verse and then coming in together on the chorus; so, at his prompting, we each recorded our verse on Skype, and then he mixed and synched to create a video. Considering that it was all a capella, not even with any of us following music on an earpiece, he really came unexpectedly close to getting a decent chorus out of us.

Just little things that stick with you.
