So. Was kinda a F---Up premed at Franklin and Marshall and had to go to Mexico for the first couple of years of med school. Katie and I got married in the meantime. The school sucked, but we were living on the beach in Baja which was great: learned to surf and eat fish tacos before they made it to the US. Old friend Ned Overend was living in San Diego at the time and we stayed a lot with him on weekends. I was lucky enuf to transfer into the 3rd year at Md so we moved to Baltimore and Katie got her social work degree at the same time.
I did a residency in Family Med at Brown in RI, and we ended up staying here, for better or worse. I've been an ER Doc since 1985 and am pretty wasted for it. The "young people" ask "how could you do this sucky job for so long?"
Mostly because I get away to our beach house in Matunuck where I still surf, and also boat and kayak and drink too much with my neighbors and watch the sunset which I am doing RIGHT NOW. Love it all.
Have also been playing sax and keys in bands all along. Presently doing this Motown thing which is very nostalgic for all those songs the bands used to play at the Pyle school dances. Great stuff.
