April 8th, 2007


This has been a very challenging week for me. The work at AdvantaCare just keeps getting tougher. I did have a wonderful and fun thing happen to me this morning. On Easter Sunday morning on my way to work, I stopped to get something at 7-11. The girl behind the counter who I did not know, said "Its very nice of you to spend your Holiday saving lives. At first I didn't realize what she meant until it dawned on me that I was in scrubs and she presumed me to be a physician. Mistaken identity not withstanding her comment pointed out to me what I often forget in the muck of business, that I set out to help people who are in need of pharmaceutical help and I am doing just that. It was really a wonderful thing to be reminded of.

Several weeks ago two of my friends, Mary and MaryBeth from AdvantaCare joined me on a walk down the beach from my house to Pajaro Dunes. Mary provided me with these wonderful pictures today. The two are from Revels encounter with two Mastifs we met along the way, not nearly as pretty but very impressive the larger one was probably 175-200 lbs. The third picture clearly indicates what a beautiful March day in Aptos can be like, for those of you not living in coastal California especially this week don't look.






Worked both jobs this week about 56 hours so not much has happened that wasn't work, eat, sleep and get up and do it again. I did discover some wonderful Peanut Butter cups from Trader Joe's that will be used in cookies in the future. Next weekend I'm off Friday, Saturday and Sunday and we have Edwards birthday. So much more news next Sunday. Until then enjoy your week.

Well, the 7-11 girl was right--you do save lives. Maybe not as dramatically as a surgeon, but you do.

The picture of you walking down the beach is lovely.

We missed you at brunch on Sunday. I thought part of the deal with going back to Advanta was that you didn't have to be on call.
