For the sake of posterity and
best read bottom to top, here is a collective listing of my twitter tweets since June 18 (those since my last
collected post). As I still don't find a particularly useful function for twitter, I mostly just use it to update my facebook status. I need to just start posting to my blog and then twittering/facebooking a link to said post.
My 2nd iPhone and it continues to be the worst phone I've ever owned. Decent, if not good, PDA. POS phone specifically. Est 70% call drops.

Killian's surprise 3rd choice request for dinner tonight: rice & green beans. Hmm. Suspicious.

Poor kid. Fever came back tonight, but at least it's low grade and no further vomiting so far.

Killian to doc at 930am - they say allergies. Killian vomiting with low grade fever 1 hr later. Killian perfectly fine 1 more hr later.

Wish I had thought to notice that the training class I am taking this week is running on Pacific time. Would have helped Killian planning.
