my old man.

happy new year!

apologies for my absence. i've been fighting the battle that is inpatient pediatrics during rsv season. sheesh, that was a long month! some kids i even sent to the picu twice. they just couldn't get enough of those nice picu residents, it seems. next, on to adult medicine for the month of january. i don't think adult medicine has quite so much seasonal variation as pediatrics does, but i could be wrong. in fact, i probably am.

new year's resolutions seemed a little tricky this year. i already feel like i'm being pulled in a thousand directions at work and i don't need to put any more pressure on myself. so i resolve:
1. to eat a little piece of chocolate every day.
2. to more seriously apply myself to reaching the 1 drink per day target. it's good for my heart, you know.
3. to spend as much time as possible with this fellow:

everybody, meet cole. he's arthritic, yet not above spooking at the door. hard to get him to trot around the ring without stopping, yet he bolts at the canter. old enough to know better, too young to care, as they say. and we're in love. well, i love him. he knows i fill my pockets with apple treats. close enough.
