Currently I am residing in New England and training to be a surgeon. I graduated from a University of Texas Medical School in 2005 with an M.D. and Texas A&M University in 2000 with a B.S. in Psychology. Originally I was born in Dubuque, Iowa; moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota; and spent my formative years in Dallas, Texas. If I'm playing a sport, it most probably is golf. I love the Dallas Stars, Cowboys, Mavericks, and Texas Rangers. Now you know my life.

The website is coming along very nicely. Eventually I plan to include a photo gallery of my favorite work thus far, but it won't be for quite a while. I'm going to concentrate on the Medicine board (Friday) followed by the Clinical Skills Exam (July 1st) followed by the USMLE Step 2 on July 20. Mixed between all of that stuff is a trip to Kansas this weekend and a trip to Washington DC the following weekend. Hurray!

Yesterday evening, I went with Ryan and Janelle to see The Terminal starring Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta Jones. First off, Ms. Douglas is very attractive. This woman is super hot, and I just thought I'd go on record with that statement. Second, this movie is absolutely wonderful! Seriously, it's another Spielberg masterpiece, sort of along the lines of Catch Me if You Can...but totally different. The film certainly had its cheesy moments, but overall I loved it. I highly recommend that you go see it in the theater. I walked out feeling really good, which is sort of rare after seeing movies these days. Of course the ever-lovely Janelle Collier was present which always seems to make me happy. This girl is Ryan's "god-sister" as he refers to her 100% of the time. She is currently a lawyer for the state of Texas, which means that she makes sure all the legislation for our state is all nice and legal. She's extremely intelligent and extremely attractive, but her best feature is her personality. You always feel comfortable around her, she isn't afraid to put you on your ass if she disagrees, and she's funny. It's really a great combination. I'm always delighted when I get to see her.

I e-mailed Brad Schwartz today, because there was an article in this morning's Dallas Morning News which talks about the new Angelika Theatre going up on Legacy and the Tollway (where Jasper's is, a restaurant of fine eats...and where Adam Manson works). Anyway, he talks about some of the old theaters that were awesome in my day, including the AMC Glen Lakes near Northpark Mall. I remember seeing Jurassic Park there, because it was the only theater at the time showing movies in THX Digital sound. LOL, I don't even think that theater exists anymore. And what ever happened to the General Cinema in the Promenade Center? I think it's a Kroger now.

I also e-mailed Mike Leffingwell today, his birthday. I can't wait to see how things are going in New York. I do know that is married with a child. I hope they are all doing well.

Finally, I played racquetball with Nick today at our rec center's new court. It is very nice. Actually the entire center has been remodeled, and it looks fantastic. It's a serious rec center if I don't say so myself. Tomorrow I plan on playing tennis with Cezar Iliescu, who will be starting his cardiology fellowship on Monday. How exciting! He's probably one of the best doctors I've ever met, and I'm glad he'll be around for another year. I'm sure we'll cross paths in the hospital during my 4th year.

Ok then, I'm going to bed. One more day of studying before the medicine test. I feel remarkably good about my chances, so tomorrow I'll just do questions all day to get comfortable with the material. Then I'm on a plane to Kansas. I hope they have lots of booze on the airplane. Actually, I hope they have lots of booze in Kansas too.

I am happy to say that dad has been smoke-free 4 weeks now. Excellent work! In celebration of this feat, I will introduce my new "smoke-free" logo which will appear at the bottom of all my blogs. Smoking is bad for you, so stay away.
