I found this pulse oximeter sensor in the stairwell of the parking garage. I see a surprising amount of medical garbage strewn about.

My Thursday team now plays pool at Goldie's, which is just an okay bar with a very dangerous beer special.

My 9-ball team moved from Ten Cat to Cy's Crab House. It's weird playing pool next to a lobster tank.

I bought a breadfruit from the Rogers Park Fruit Market. I have no idea how to eat it, and fear that it may be full of baby spiders who will erupt from its leathery hide and crawl into my mouth while I sleep.

There was a Black History Month potluck in the ED today, which meant I didn't have to go to the cafeteria to get food that was bad for me.

We had dinner tonight at Ruth's Chris in South Barrington to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday. Terrible picture, great food, awesome family.

After running an Info Session at the College, Jenny and I went to the Marriott on campus for a job fair sponsored by some nursing website. The invite said to drop in any time between 5 and 9, and that there would be food. We got there at 8:15 as most of the recruiters were packing up, so we talked to a couple places for whom we'll never work, gazed at the empty buffet table, and then left.

It was a colossal waste of time, but on the way home we discovered that two people can fit through a CTA revolving door turnstile.
