Estoy visitando la Tierra Media.

Leaving to visit Middle Earth today.

"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to." J.R.R. Tolkien

"The road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the road has gone,
And I must follow if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say."
J.R.R. Tolkien

Much Love.

Estoy fingiendo.

I made a trip into the city yesterday, on mission to attend the Northeast Surgical Society meeting. Mission successful, I stayed as long and as short as appropriate before escaping again. While everyone else was busy socializing and enjoying cocktail hour, I rolled up my poster and slipped out. The doorman the only one to bid farewell and be so acknowledged in return as I left the Cornell Club. I get such a kick out of my life sometimes. I never pictured myself here, nor would have guided myself here on my own. Yet those where definitely my heels tacking down the sidewalk towards Grand Central Terminal.
As I walked to my car from the train, eager as I was to return home, I paused a moment longer to appreciate the fog rolling up the Hudson River.

 My co-residents, Monica and Clara and I, all found a rare day when we were all able to enjoy daylight hours away from the hospital. We purchased a group-on and went climbing. It was fantastic fun and I can't wait to go again... just to find the time. 

 Clara, Monica, me

No knot slippage here! Climbing?... Climb on!

Much Love!
