Pictures from Michigan


Tonight I decided to pull off a bunch of pictures from my cell phone and do a photo post of our live in Michigan. You will unfortunately see a lot of pictures from restaurants.

In a Pickle


Today was my second day in my department. The person training me only sat with me for one day, and today I was on my own. I booked a few surgeries, did some misc scheduling for my surgeon, took some online training modules, got my pager, attended a class, and some of my other job […]

Random thoughts on my last afternoon of freedom…

My Dear Ol’ Dad


The Three Survivors I talked to my dad today to wish him a happy Easter, and was sad to hear him a little downtrodden. Although his recovery is going steadily, it’s coming slowly. It’s been 10 weeks since the accident, and he’s got another 4-5 weeks to go in Aspen Ridge. Above is a picture […]

Putting it into perspective…


Before I blog about my trip to the doctor yesterday, I wanted to put in a plug for the Cindy Roesgen Benefit Concert. Cindy’s story is outlined if you click on the above picture. She’s the one who financed my friend Nathan McEuen’s last album “Festival,” and is currently suffering from a myriad of maladies […]
