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?
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!
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.
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!
