As Eiran is no longer renewing his domain, it is only a matter of time before this blog goes away as well. As I haven’t updated it in a while, I’m not terribly interested in continuing it, and I find that Facebook is a more fluid forum for updates on my otherwise unexciting life. Thanks […]

Today was moving day. After picking up my dad at the Greyhound station yesterday, we had to go to freakin’ Greenwood to pick up the U-Haul truck (which tacks about 30 miles to the trip just to get the thing home). After last-minute packing which still managed to miss things, we got the truck packed […]
The past few days I have really been making a lot of progress in my move, which is both good and bad - for me at least. Like my parents, I am a pack rat, and my condo contained the accumulation of 14 years of possessions since I graduated from high school. While most of […]
I made it! As of yesterday, June 20th, 2008, I am a board-eligible general surgeon. My last day of residency started like most others - by rounding with my team. Rather than do a senior skip day like some of my classmates, I went to the academic program that constituted most of the day. However, […]
This past weekend, I was back in Connecticut for business and pleasure. On Thursday and Friday, I participated in a workshop on laparoscopic solid organ surgery held by SAGES, the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons. SAGES holds courses for senior surgery residents (4th and 5th years) to help hone their skills, […]
Yesterday Traci, her dad, and I completely redid the floor in the bathroom with new 12″x12″ stone-look vinyl tiles. We had to pull up the toilet to tile around it, and to seal in the floor around the bathtub I added wood dowel rods and wood putty to fill in the floor crack. The resulting […]
This week I have been renovating the bathroom of my condo to prepare it for rent or sale. The old bathtub/shower unit was made of the cheapest, thinnest, construction-grade fiberglass I’ve ever seen. When I bought my condo, the old owners had already patched a small crack in the tub near the drain. […]
Graduating from residency is far more expensive than I thought. Not only had the interview process cost me thousands of dollars, but now that I have a fellowship, I have to get prepared for that. The cost of this is shocking - around $1400 to get licensure and a DEA number. Now I just received […]
Well, I watched the new Knight Rider. Wow. Plotlines big enough to drive K.I.T.T. - nay, Goliath - through. Wooden acting. Dialog that could only have been produced during the writers’ strike. Ridiculous product placement by Ford, wherein every car was made by Ford or one of its subsidiaries (except […]
Even though lately I’ve been riding more on the exercise bike to lose the post-interview and holiday weight, it is obviously not enough. I’ve distinctly noticed that my clothes are tighter and my previously scaphoid abdomen has become significantly more convex. Since Cardinal Fitness has been running a special rate to join (only $8 plus […]
