The continuing adventures of Beau Yarbrough

Lucky goes over the wall

So, our bedroom window features a screen that’s the wrong size for our off-size window. The first day we were in the house, Jenn accidentally knocked the screen out just by touching it. It was put back in, but as a clearly temporary situation.

Well, I forgot about that Sunday, when I opened the back door and other windows to get a breeze going through the house. And one of those was the bedroom window.

About 30 minutes later, Jenn comes into the study and asks when I last saw Lucky. His sister was sitting by the open window, looking at us, with the “I didn’t do it” air every sibling, of any species, quickly masters.

So, slipping on the Tevas, I went out into the land of fire ants, looking for the cat. He appeared from around the corner, panting — a black cat out in 98 degree sun isn’t an ideal situation — and slipped past me, back into through the back door.

He already wants to go back outside again, despite the sun, despite the fire ants and despite only having a prickly Joshua tree to climb.

I guess it’s time to get his collar back on him — he previously slipped it off — and to start thinking about a house with an actual usable back yard in the future.

First Amazon Vine book

Well, Amazon Vine is up, but the initial five books available for free preview (and then review) were gone, gone, gone before I even logged in. Just by chance today, I logged in, saw a new book had been added and still had five copies left. I should receive my copy of Influencer: The Power to Change Anything shortly. I’ll link to the review when I’ve got it done.



Congratulations, Kate

The NYC branch of the Yarbrough family just got a new member and Kate’s got a younger sister: Isabel Laine was just born, 9 lbs. 1 oz. Mother and child are reportedly doing well.



Finding a good doctor/medical group

Tuesday, August 21, 2007, 15:07
Section: Life

Our pediatrician (and his nurse) are making me and Jenn nuts, and their medical group is more interested in assessing blame for the problem than actually solving the problem. So when open enrollment rolls around in November, I’d like to switch (although it doesn’t kick in until January). But how do I know the next medical group isn’t just as bad, or worse?

How do people find good doctors and medical groups?
