Hello, on-call today. Had an interesting 4th of July yesterday. Most of it was spent with next door neighbors Bob and Anita. If I have time, I'll try and write about it.

The main reason I'm writing is for nostalgic purposes. The building at the hospital where the residents' call rooms are stationed is being torn down soon. It's been scheduled to be torn down for 5 years, and it seems that it actually will be torn down in the next few months. I'm slowly gathering my personal belongings and taking stuff back home piecemeal. Of note, I was going through the old books and such and came across my legendary 2005-2006 Hooters Calendar. The 2005-2006 Hooters Calendar was already in my call room when I arrived as an intern in July of 2005. This calendar was given to one of the Muslim residents as a gag gift (as this sort of thing is forbidden in his religion), and the calendar remained posted for 3 years, even though the dates were incorrect. (The pictures are great, of course). My lovely wife, knew I had this calendar with the incorrect dates, so she purchased me a current 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit calendar (how cool is that). Therefore, there really is no reason to keep the old Hooters Calendar. At this point, I've seen all the cover girls 3 years over and know all of them as if they were personal friends. I didn't want to throw it away for nostalgic purposes, as the calendar has been in the call room since I started here. However, now that the story has been immortalized in this here blog, I can finally throw the calendar in the trash. And there you have it.
