We spent a quiet weekend up in New Hampshire for the annual MD-PhD retreat at Waterville Valley this past weekend. Despite the rain and fog that engulfed us on the drive up, the weather improved by Saturday, providing us with some fresh air and a beautiful view of the fall foliage. This year, I was fortunate enough to enjoy Melody’s company, though she had to spend much of her time studying for her Step 3. Beside the usual: our miserable attempt at golf, the overpriced indoor tennis game, and the all-you-can-eat lobster mania that always left us uncomfortably full, we also decided to spare some time for the talks and poster session this year. History did not repeat itself, fortunately, and both the golf cart and I remained healthy after the trip. Meanwhile, with so many distractions from work, I’m gonna have to make the most of my time in lab in the next few days. Of course, now that the Sox have miraculously stayed alive to force a Game 5, I’m afraid productivity will be difficult to keep up.
So I was thinking of calling you to catch up but this website is SO thorough, I can't imagine what else we could talk about! =) Great site, but you have got to get the pics of me off!
Dude… get over it… the pics ain\’t coming down! Grrr. Anywayz, I don\’t see what you\’ve got to complain about. Those photos ain\’t nearly as bad as the fro I sported in the Qusaders pic back in Freshman year (sigh). Btw, weren\’t you planning to do an away rotation in Boston?
That's a nice pretty picture of the spring time. Also, ask Melody how she manages to getall those weekends off…..I had my first one this week in 9 weeks, and I spent it home recovering (ie. cleaning, laundry, shopping, sleeping). Sigh – what we sacrifice in residency. =)
Oops, I meant nice pretty picture of the FALL time.
