N-NW to the Future Medical Tour

welcome to my N-NW to the Future Medical Tour blog. those who know me know that i occasionally fall off the face of the earth from time to time. (yes, sometimes for a year or two at a pop...) i don't really expect this year to be any different as i travel around alaska, washington and montana completing all my medical rotations. i plan on graduating from the university of washington physician assistant program in august '09. that said, i do expect this year to be a busy one and this is going to be my attempt at letting you know what's the latest scoop - even if it is a bit less intimate. i hope that you will be able to have a better sense of what's going on in my life and possibly more scarily... what's going on in my big dinosaur brain (see perfect date link).

a dear friend....


i found out recently that my close friend from childhood, kelly armstrong, was diagnosed with cancer this fall. i just want to put out a public request that anyone who happens across this website - please send a prayer, good juju, any cosmic/karmic credit you've built up, yada, yada, yada her way. she's a dynamo and though i haven't seen her in a long while, just occasional stories from my dad - i think fondly of her and know that if there were a soul in the world who will pull through all this, it's gonna be her.

caring bridge is a site where you may write a note to kelly. it's located under peep blogs on the left.

kelly - all my love goes out to you and your family.
