Happy Birthday Abe!

Photograph of the Lincoln Memorial at night

Happy Birthday Abe! You were a hell of a man!

When I had the good fortune to visit Washington D.C. Last year, one of the things that I was sure to see was the Lincoln Memorial. It was awe inspiring and caused me to reflect on what a significant human being he was and how important he was to our country.  Of course I “had” to get pictures of the memorial at night… Sheila was her usual tolerant and patient wife and accompanied me on a night time jaunt through the mall…

I can think of no better time than the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth to post a picture of the Lincoln Memorial.

Time to buy ice cube trays

How far will one man go to get ice for his scotch?

Lack of ice, a situation easily remedied, right?

I got off the bus two block east of the stop that is across the street from my apartment, and walked one block west, and one block north to get to Walgreens. They were out of ice. I walked another block North to a liquor store. They had ice, but a $7.00 minimum purchase with debit cards. All I needed was ice, and I didn’t have any cash. I just couldn’t justify buying $5.00 worth of stuff I didn’t want or need to get my $2.00 bag of ice. I walked one block East, and them two blocks South, looking for an ATM. The only one I could find cost me $2.00 for the non-network ATM (not counting the $2.00 that my bank will charge me for using a non BofA ATM). Nevertheless, I was getting frustrated, and my eventual glass of scotch would be worth all this effort. Another block South and then a block West brought me to a small grocery store. They were out of ice! So my trek continued another block South to yet another liquor store. They had ice! Now I’m only two block South, and one block East of my apartment.  I’ll leave it to you to count how many blocks I went looking for ice.

But it was worth it!

How I spent last night having a Polysomnography…

My oh so patient and tolerant wife, Sheila, has long suffered with my snoring. Despite wearing ear plugs, it’s not uncommon at all for her to be disturbed by the racket coming from my soft palate. She has told me repeatedly that I stop breathing while sleeping. I’ve asked a couple of doctors about this, and they have indicated that I don’t have the “physiology” for Sleep Apnea.  However, I trust my wife more than the doctors and pursued the matter with a specialist. A visit to an Ear Nose and Throat Doctor a couple of months ago resulted in the ordering of a Polysomnography also known as a sleep study. Thankfully my health insurance covers this expensive, hospital based over-night test.  Living in a big city has it’s benefits, as the Sleep Lab at the UCSF Mt Zion facility, is less than a mile from our apartment.  The Sleep Technologist can’t give a diagnosis, that must wait until the Sleep Doctor issues his report, but in my judgment, based on the more than 100 interruptions to my sleep in about 3 hours and the way the use of CPAP or VPAP virtually eliminated them, it certainly seems that I have Sleep Apnea.

Of course, being a photojournalist, I had to take pictures of the experience of the test. Here’s a picture of Sean, the Sleep Technologist, getting me all hooked up for the study and there are more photos in the gallery…
