Bikerscum - Patrick St. Jean

Sorry for the long gap with no posts.  It's been a little hectic around here.  The semester's over and my final grades are in.  I got As in both classes, which is nice.  Five more semesters to go.  All kind of crazy, but hopefully things are calming down… more »

Looks like I brought back some unwanted guests from Gilmer. I went to the doctor after having a bunch of what look like chicken pox like itchy bumps pop up. Turns out to be some sort of mite that hitched a ride. I'm washing everything in hot water, dr… more »

I dropped Reese and my mom off at the airport today, sending them on their way to Peoria. It's sad to see him go, but we had a good couple weeks and I'm looking forward having him down again. There's a lot we didn't get to do and he's just plain fun to… more »

Today is Thanksgiving Day, which is probably the closest we'll get to the quintessential American holiday. I know Independence Day sounds like it, but we really can't stake claim on that one since we don't hold a unique claim on a struggle for independe… more »

I went back to Carter Blood Care for my next donation this evening and it went a lot better than the first time. But then again, I had a big dinner of pasta and a lot of sweet tea before I went in. One little bout of lightheadedness, but other than tha… more »

After work today I went over to the local Carter Blood Care office to donate blood. I don't know if it's being civic minded, just wanting to do something for the general good, or what, but I wanted to do it. The process was pretty painless, just one li… more »
