Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it is kinda my life blood…so luckily, felines and I have 9 lives. This project didn’t cost me any lives and was so interesting! It has been mildly stormy this weekend in Florida, which means lots of animals washed up on the beach. I found this guy on … Continue reading
I wish I was in Texas today. Yep. I just said that, may never say it ever again … but right now it is true. Today is the day of my friend Barbara’s wedding. When ever I think of weddings, a billion movie scenes and quotes rush through my head, but while Barb and I have … Continue reading
They don’t make ’em like they used to….how many times have you heard that? While that sentiment isn’t always true, I most certainly find value in caring for those old bits that have stood the test of time. I have two steamer trunks that for the moment contain my tangible world, they are both over … Continue reading

(IRL = in real life, for all you non-gamers out there). Today was brimming with those things for me and I ended up requiring THREE … Continue reading
I’ve spent the last two days driving south to my current “home base” in New Smyrna Beach, FL and I always notice one thing: It has been a long week of FINAL final exams (yay) … but now I just have one more clinical rotation to look forward to before graduation … plus a few … Continue reading
Last night I had a beautiful dream that I saw the sunrise over Cape Town. Then I realized, I did.

Take care of … Continue reading
While we have a little ways to go before graduation (May 2014!!), today my classmates and I sat in our last official lecture of graduate school! Dr. Harwood left us with a several inspiring words (and in my opinion a call to action) as we move forward as students and of course later, as we … Continue reading
Yesterday, I got to go to an early screening of Spike Jonze’s new film “her”. First, I have to say the picture was fantastic. Between the intimate performance of Joaquin Phoenix, the stunningly simple yet palpable art direction, and some of the most rich cinematography I’ve seen since “No Country For Old Men” (thats right … Continue reading
Thanks Grumpy Cat…my feelings precisely. Shopping for me is a tactical mission. This may have started when my mom would send me on errands disguised as “super secret missions” to the grocery store as a kid. (Of course I can infiltrate the treacherous Produce Kingdom and retrieve the artichoke hearts of lore!) I go in with a … Continue reading
In the United States today families and friends are gathering together to enjoy a meal together, watch football (or in my case the comet ISON battle the sun…seriously get on this, you can see 200 lb dudes fight over pig skin all year long), and reflect on all the people and things we are grateful … Continue reading
