hey guys! so i guess we're all totally busy b/c no one's really posting anything on here. guess that a good thing. anyways things are great out here in colorado. still loving my job. it's become a joke to see just how many times my doc will fire me in one day. i just have to say he's being like one of his partners and that'll pretty much do the trick. that and the fact that i've now got this tendency slip up and say what i'm really thinking. but it's all good.
so i'm totally stoked about tomorrow. going down to Moab for Raft for the Cure...like Race for the Cure, still associated with Susan G Komen, but I dont have to run a 5k. instead i get to sit in a raft all day and float down the river, let the guide to all the work. its supposed be minimal class I-II rapids, nothing too exciting. (got a taste of class III-IVs a couple weeks ago around Denver...talk about a great time!!!) i've rounded up a couple girls from the clinic and hopsital. should be a good day.
so yeah, i'm kinda isolated out here in colorado. i need updates. how is everyone doing? how are the jobs? Kris--when's the next one due? and is it a boy or girl? come on people....talk!!! anyways...cell #s the same...call me when you guys get a chance. i'd love to hear from you

Buon giorno...
Hey everybody, just got back from a fantastic trip to Italy! I know these pictures will make Kara really jealous, but we had an incredible time and I wanted to post a link to the pictures for your browsing pleasure :)
If you haven't been yet, Italy is truly an incredible country full of history, art, culture, and great food!

Amalee
Hey guys
I dont know if you've heard the news, but Amalee's mother passed away last night. Amalee's gone through A LOT since graduation. She also lost her father and grandmother, both around Easter. I havent been able to talk to her, phone tag and all, so I dont know how she's been dealing with the previous two losses. I know she was very close to her mother and I cant even begin to imagine what would be going through my head if I were to lose mine. And on top of that, a couple days before Mother's day. I've tried texting and calling, but havent been able to get ahold of her. She's been dealt with some major blows lately. I just ask that you guys keep her in your prayers.

hey from MS
well, guys, hope this works. never blogged before. i finally got my local email hooked up so i havent been able to keep up with everyone. i went back and read the past posts to catch up.
i have been working in cv surgery since 7 jan with direct supervision from the 65 yo pa who is supposed to retire in july. i work for one surgeon at one hospital so i am on call 24/7 but hardly ever get called out. most of our cases i know at least a day ahead of time. i am lucky because i only work in surgery. the doc has an np that does all his clinic preop and postop. i have already forgotten all my h&p skills. amazing how quickly you lose stuff.
i am starting to get a little frustrated because the 65 yo pa is not relinquishing control. now he is talking about only partly retiring. i have no need and no niche. i love everyone i work with except the surgeon. he's weird. just started making eye contact ever so slightly with me a few weeks ago and just said my name for the first time today. unfortunately i will have to have a closed door meeting with him on monday about the whole situation with the old pa. they need to let me work, pa needs to step out, doc needs to start communicating with me or he needs to let me find some other area to work before i get too deep in this. the whole situation has made me a little disillusioned about my profession and choice to go back to school so late in life.
sorry to be bitchin but i guess i need to vent to people who might understand. everything will be alright i am sure. all else is great. ross is still flying with the air guard. spent to whole month of feb in guam and glad to have him back. bo just turned 3. going on 15. all of a sudden he has started getting sassy but he is still so much fun. we are remodeling our lake house one room at a time and should have everything complete in month. the rest of the house is in shambles but ross and i share the same bed every night which is much better than the last 2 1/2 years.
so glad everyone else is doing well. take care.

belated happy birthday wishes!
So it has been a while since I had a chance to post anything, but I wanted to say a belated (for some, a very belated) "Happy Birthday" to...
Amy (February 1st), Kathy (March 14th), Kristian (April Fool's Day, how appropriate), Amanda (April 22nd) and Lauren "Murdock" Aseron (April 24th)!
Kris (February 11th) and Jody (March 4th) had birthdays too, but I am not wishing them happy ones, they can suck it...
Anyway, happy birthday to all of y'all and I hope new careers and cities and relationships are going better than you could have imagined :)
Love, Dick

You Betcha
So... I would've posted much sooner, but surprise surprise, I couldn't figure out how to post something! Well, I moved into my new house last Thursday. I am now a homeowner in the 'Icebox of the country' a.k.a Minnesota. I am living in Rochester, MN, which is just south of Minneapolis. I start officially working next Monday at the Mayo Clinic in neurosurgery, and am pretty much nervous! I have a great schedule, working 3-4 days a week, and no call OR weekends...I hope it is as good as it sounds...In the meantime I am still putting stuff away and painting. I love my house so far, but I've already had to shovel my driveway twice. For those of you who have never done so, be glad!
I enjoy hearing what everyone is up to, I miss the south a lot, and miss all of you! I hope to see you all in the future, maybe at some conferences?? ha, well in the meantime, take care everyone!
