Nathan Beach wrote a really cool article in Wikipedia.com regarding Richardson, Texas. You can read it here. He also mentions a man named Frank Ticheli, who graduated from Berkner, then SMU, and now directs music at USC. He composes music for symphonic bands, and we performed one of his pieces "Postcard" in '96. Good times. I can still hum the tune in my head (in fact I'm doing that right now). Anyway, the article is super cool, and I encourage you to read it and thank Nathan for his nice work.
I'm sitting up here in the Centennial building waiting for a vascular post-op patient to hit the floor. If he gets up here soon, I can go take a nap unless more trauma comes in (which is guaranteed). We'll just have to wait and see. I'm planning on playing golf with Brian and Dr. Haag tomorrow unless it rains. That would not be good. (my patient just arrived) I have one day of Thoracic surgery left until I become "chief" of transplant surgery. Ha, good times.
I'm looking forward to wathing the Mavs in the morning. Game 3 of the Finals at Miami is already complete, but I'm not going to find out who won so I can watch the game in the AM. It's very exciting to watch the Mavs do so well after 25 years of shit (except for the late 80's...BEAT LA!).
So that's all for now. Good luck and Godspeed.
