Our Christmas Corner

This is where we’ve pit most of our Christmas decorations this year… What I’ve dubbed our “Christmas Corner”.

And, yes, that is a Christmas tree hanging from the ceiling! Isn’t it great?

My Morning View

Working at Harborview does have a few nice perks, like this view when I come out of the stairwell on the 9th floor (where the pediatric patients live). I guess there’s a reason they named this place “harbor-view”

Hello from chilly Fenway!

I’m in Boston now for my rheumatology conference and I had a little free time this morning, so I walked over to Fenway Park (you know, the baseball stadium… Home of the world champion Red Sox…).
It was fun, and I got to walk along Newbery St, which I guess is pretty popular. But it is quite cold here, and very windy… So I spent the rest of my morning inside, winding my way back to my hotel through the network of inter-connected malls and hotels. You can go for blocks without ever stepping outside!

Off on another adventure!

I’m at the airport again… After just arriving home from London a few days ago. Now I’m off to San Francisco to attend the American Society of Nephrology annual meeting. It’s a big conference for nephrologists, and they sponsor residents to attend to woo them into the specialty. I’m a fair bit interested in maybe becoming a pediatric nephrologist, and the trip and conference are free, so I’m off.
I hope it’s fun, I’m betting it will be and I’m ready to make the most of my time there.

Flagship Lounge

I just took a shower in this nifty personal bathroom at the Flagship Lounge in the JFK airport. How cool is that… You get off your long (albeit first-class) international flight, and you get to hang out in a nice quiet lounge with food and drinks, computers, and personal shower rooms if you want to freshen up. I love it!

P.S. Our vacation was great!

Sunflower

Look at our beautiful sunflower from our little front garden! It just started blooming about a week ago and it keeps getting bigger!
