I've been an attending physician for almost 25 years and I'm still surprised when I call another doctor's office and the doctor calls me back within a day or two to talk about a mutual patient.

I thought I wanted to marry Mr. Coffee. Then I got a Bunn.

I like big Bunn and I cannot lie.

(Sigh) trying to use a long drive to listen to bar review lectures. Advancing to the next requires interacting with the app, which I don’t want to do while driving.

Can’t listen outside the app so I may be stuck either interacting with a screen or only one lecture per leg of trip.

Does happy anticipation count?

Hasn’t happened yet, but opera tonight, and since it’s out of town and I stay over, breakfast with a friend who lives 150 miles away so I only see her a few times a year.

Yesterday when I was taking out the recycling FedEx pulled up and stopped in front of my building. The driver looked at me and, asked if I was [my name] which I confirmed and he handed me my package. Couldn’t have timed it better if we tried.

I’ve been posting daily pictures of bar study. Recently posted from the university library where i noticed a book about the erotic literature of DH Lawrence.

Friend responded with “Lady Chatterly’s Lawyer?”

I did 2 loads of laundry today so now I have clean undies for the next week or so.

Are we all forgetting there's a pretty foolproof method to locate mines?

Then they brought him out to me, safe and sound, and only a little grumpier than usual.

But that was not a fun 10 minutes.

Took my cat to the vet for his monthly arthritis shot. About 5 minutes after the tech took him to the back, another tech came to the lobby and announced they were dealing with an emergency in the back and we'd all have to wait a little longer.

The next 10 minutes took about an hour to elapse.

White chocolate is an oxymoron.

Someone please tell them what happens when you mess with someone from the south side of Chicago.

Just thinking about what would really help make America healthy again.

What came to mind was enabling every American to go to the dentist at least once every year, and necessary dental work at no out of pocket cost.

Thank we might do that?

I know I'd be happier if I didn't know some things I know.

A black and white cat in a tube shaped rest on a cat tree, bent in the middle with 3 paws hanging out.

In a previous life he inspired the phrase "Ignorance is bliss"

Nor did he say which three days.

I got suspicious of a couple at one job.

Then I learned they were married. To each other.

Mixed blessing and curse: i had dental surgery on the 10 and I'm supposed to eat only soft foods until my followup. So no Robins eggs for awhile.

I don't know why this year was different. I usually see them everywhere, but this year they were scarce.

Also lucky the dogs didn't spook the owl.

Then again, Owls are probably savvy enough to realize a dog on the ground is not much threat to an owl in a tree.

I’m trying to decide if I’d prefer the ability to teleport myself or to teleport other people.

If that’s your photo, you not only saw an awesome bird but got a great picture of it.

I finally found Robins Eggs at the 4th store I tried and bought 4 bags.

They were even on special: buy 1 get 1 half price, so I got 4 bags for the price of 3.

Oh, I would have thought ‘Gassie’ would be about an #anesthesiologist who hangs out with surgeons, keeps their patients safe, and alerts them when they need to do something to save someone.

“Timmie’s blood pressure has fallen down a well. You need to stop the bleeding!”

What got me was reading about the doctor who had to crawl into the wreckage and amputate someone's leg to free them. The doctor was chosen not based on skill.

The doctor was chosen because he was small enough to fit in the space available for work.

I'll always go for Burrito or Thai or Indian.

Pretty much anything with spice and heat.

Oh good, I can rest easy knowing no vampire will ever threaten me. I’ve had every vaccine for which I qualified and at least one I had to fudge my way into. (Although it didn’t take much to convince the pharmacist. They still ask me if I want a flu shot every time I pick up a prescription)

As part of the process of becoming a lawyer I'm going tomorrow to get fingerprinted.

As part of being a doctor I wash my hands so often they're usually too dry to get useful fingerprints.

Oh well. I'll do the thing and let the bar deal with it.

I've been posting selfies of me studying for the bar and holy crap I've gotten old.

But I did think it was pretty cool that I posted a picture of me listening to a civil procedure lecture through AirPods as I sat in the dentist's chair.

I feel that one.
