Just a bit of a personal update.  About a week ago, I finished my medical training.  I’m now fully qualified in Internal Medicine and Palliative Care.  Its culminated about 27 years of schooling, 15 of which has been post-secondary.  Whew!   I’m taking some time off in advance of some “real” work later in the summer and the fall to spend some time with the family … and get back to blogging for a bit.  :)  Thanks to some of the usual folks for noticing my noticable absences, and thanks to all who have stuck around (and remember me!).  Also, thanks to FindInternetTv.com who has faithfully sponsored this blog, and has enabled me to keep the lights on.
