Little randoms

A few days ago I got my first piece of mail that was addressed to “Dr. [My First and Last Name].”  It was from a company that insures doctors. In any case… PBT Insurance Office… you are four years too early! I don’t graduate until May of 2014  :-)   Here is a picture of [...]

“Press on and just fight the good fight”

An old friend wrote me yesterday and said this (excerpt from the email): “Great to hear from you, but so sorry about your news.  I saw you added a new photo on Facebook of your Grandfather.  I am so sorry for your loss and hope that you and your family are starting to do a [...]

I can never figure out what to title these posts

Yesterday one of our deans held an Urban Health Program (UHP) BBQ at her house. This wasn’t done last year but it was a great way to meet with all of the new participants, especially those that I hadn’t already met during the summer program. I think that what fascinated me the most was that [...]
