I’ll dedicate this blog entry to my best friend Lacy. After many months of hard work, he completed firefighter school this week and passed his state exam, so he’s now a certified firefighter. He worked a tough job all day and spent his evenings in class on top of being a good husband and father. Now he’s looking for a firefighting job, so if you know of any, drop me an email. He gets very excited any time you bring up his new career, so I know it’s a perfect fit. It feels a bit odd to be so excited about seeing your friend pursue such a risky career, but if my house were on fire, I’d want him on the scene.

And in other news, I want to give a shout out to my homegirls in the Labor and Delivery unit at Baylor Irving. Apparently they check out my blog sometimes between deliveries, especially on the night shift. Thanks for stopping by! “Empuje el nino!”

Finally, I want to make sure you know about one of my other favorite websites: babelfish.altavista.com. You can type in a word or phrase in a variety of languages and have the site translate it into various other languages. It’s not perfect, but it’s fun to play with. Give it a try!
