The universe must have known that I would need a pick-me-up this Christmas so it sent me the greatest gift I could possibly think of: an up-close encounter with a solitary big horn sheep with not another soul around to spoil the moment. I was driving through the Gallatin Canyon to deliver some home made …
Seriously, she can. Except for the fact that the only people who read this blog are related to me and actually have the same big sister. I flew from the snowy cold wonderland of Dartmouth to the steel kingdom of Philly last night. Again, I was chosen to ride in the Right Seat on the …
Medicine has taught me a number of important life lessons. One of which is that when offered the opportunity to try something that scares me, there is only one correct answer: I’d love to. Tonight I got to ride in the Right Seat of the plane flying me to my next interview. Just call me …
I have, over the past decade, made several trips to and through Charlottesville, Virginia. Although I have not spent any considerable amount of time here it always has an air of familiarity. While I often denounce the East as being a barren wasteland of concrete and busybodies, this town serves as a reminder that I …

Phase I of interviews is drawing to a close and I’m en route to Bozeman. I have already given up showering the (early!) mornings of interviews, which makes me worried for the direction I’m headed for phases II-IV! Someone told me my teal blouse was “ballsy” which also makes me worried for future interviews. If …
I awoke around 5:30 this morning (theoretically- it was actually more like 5:45) with a lump in my throat. 6AM was the opening of registration for the Grand Traverse. I have recruited and roped my fondest associates into joining the fun of this journey and it was only in putting the money down that it …
Family partay time with the Sinnotts & Wagners- such a fun group of people. I really inherited a very spirited and enjoyable second family– that in a lot of ways reminds me of my own. Bountiful, delicious food was shared, along with the instrumental musings of those in attendance. Kathy threw a fantastic party, as …
