Heinz 57

My posts today are a mix of things AND the Heinz 57 reference is a local thing.

Got word from DC via Vegas that my "connections" didn't pan out. Thanks "B" for trying. I do applaud your effort for me some long lost cousin. Let everyone know about the blog. Hopefully something good will come of it.


If you buy a Dell, GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I have called Dell 5 times in TWO days for laptops and a tape backup device going bad. Let's see, I have had two keyboard failures, a bad LCD screen, two hard drives and memory going south. Some of those issues are on the same machine. Still, it's pretty ugly. Spend the $$ get the warranty on a laptop (regardless of the manufacturer).

Tomorrow SHOULD result in a decision at the Starzl Clinic on if I get media access. It's almost like a job interview. But I don't actually have any say in the matter. I hope somone actually said, this can be a good thing. I am sure the administrators would rather just operate and make people better. After all of this and I might not even be a match. Being a believer in a conspiracey theory, even if I am a match, they could deny me for the hell of it because I put up a fight to get media access to my appointments and surgery. As one email put it, there is too much liability involved. If something goes wrong, it's tough to fool the camera.
