And it's cold
Well, it’s been an interesting month, and there’s been quite a few things that I wish I could dedicate more time to but… bother
The military for one has been an all-consuming entity, and for the most part, I think it’s been a good thing. I have a couple of adventures in education in April and May down in S.A. (San Antonio) prior to a trip across the pond in June perhaps to S.A.
A few bumps in the road however… one involving a pig which may throw a wrench into the immediate plans for a radiology residency. No official action was taken, and it seems to be off of everyone’s periscope for the time being… we’ll see what happens come August. Another bump in the road may be this deployment, we’ll have to see what comes of this.
In any case, I’ve been busy with helping others deploy, responding to chemical warfare incidents and manning mass casualty exercises… you know, the standard deal. Making new friends in Abilene, and watching some things in my social life go to the wayside, a pity that nothing panned out with the JAG.
A couple of highlights from the month past…
1) Commander’s ball was a great time, and I accomplished the relevant politicking. I really should try to do something with the JAG in the next few weeks… no rush on this one.
2) Ballroom Dancing lessons continue… for what ulterior motive, even I haven’t the slightest… perhaps I got a glimpse of that a few weeks ago in…
3) SXSW – what an amazing time! Hanging out with Bartley, Damsie and Chuque. Meeting new friends, listening to amazing music and further exploring Austin. And to top it all off, there were no incidents on the floor… “You keep that!”… Still thinking about one person in particular.
4) Nearing completion of the SOS course. One test tomorrow and then one test to go.
5) Will work on the novel, before Easter Dinner today. I was invited to a line officer’s house for dinner by one of the wives. Now, though I am conflicted about celebrating Easter, I will not pass up an opportunity to spend time with the line officers, and I will always “bear faith and keep allegiance with the same”
Upcoming events!!
1) Sports Medicine Symposium – will definitely aid with the DDD, once fellow physicians return from deployment (freeing me up)
2) San Antonio in April and May
3) Party for Chrysalis completion (and the new projector toy)
4) Apply for residency this summer – if things work out
5) Transition to an SME billet – possibly this summer
Now time to go to work…
Sincerely,
beaker
