Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

Two shots to get the party started. Now a Gin and Sin. Gin (naturally), orange juice, lemon juice, and grenadine. Yummy!

Getting the new-job drudgery done. My drug test is done, my letter of intent is signed, my MD-PA agreement is pending. Getting close to finishing my continuing education hours for the year.

I love you all…

4. Something I ate in Italy

On a business trip, went alone to a local restaurant recommended to me and couldn’t communicate hardly at all with anyone, and they had no English speakers. Finally opted on a sampler of different foods, most of which were great… but there was some sort of seafood (all I could understand from them was “Pisces “) that was just dreadful. I mean, really awful. Think it was some type of mussel. Couldn’t get the taste out of my mouth for 3 days, kept burping up that utterly disgusting flavor.
Everything else I ate in Italy was really delicious!

What a hellhole that place was. Armpit of the USA. That sandwich was a choice between starvation or a full stomach.

I should have chosen starvation.

and did nothing to mitigate that finally got old enough to vote.

I refuse to accept responsibility for them.

when I expressed utter disgust with the election, my doc said, "Imagine how doctors feel, knowing they think RFK Jr is some kind of health expert."

I know a lot of MD’s are right-wingers.

I don’t encounter them very often in community health, but I know they’re out there.

It’s natural. But you’ll snap back. We have a lot of fighting to do.

I'm back to playing late night (East Coast) Wordle after honoring the strike. Got it in 2. Celebrating with Drambuie on the rocks because life is good.

I have a bottle of Drambui. But I only ever use it as a mixer. I’ll have to try it on the rocks.
