Back in the Blogosphere!

It's been 6 years since my last appearance here and a lot of water has passed under the bridge, more like a billion cubits. I have grown up,   I was grown before but trust me I have grown a lot more. I have completed a residency, chief residency and fellowship and actually moved from NY to a more idyllic less fast paced town in the Midwest in this time. The move has come with all of the culture shock that entails moving away from the North East and I have plenty to write about this. I transitioned from trains and buses to actually driving myself everywhere and recently completed a solo 7 hour drive with 3 brief stops to refuel and use the restroom. It seemed like a good idea then but several rarely used muscles showed up multiple days in a row to protest against being so abused that in concession to these muscles, any distance greater than 4 hours by road will automatically be upgraded to a flight. My regular driving distance on days when I want to escape the quiet of my town are 3 hour trips and I visit friends and family and do my own exploring along the way.

Why did I stop writing?  To be honest the zeal to write dissipated and putting down my thoughts seemed an invasion of my privacy as my writing is based on my experiences. Has this changed? Not really, but I'd like to hone the gift I have been given, and the only way I can do that is to continue to write. I daresay my writing skills have become really rumpled like my favorite shirt is when I squeeze and push it to the back of my dresser when I am too lazy to iron and hang it out. So bear with me as I steam dry my thoughts and words through the rollers this blog offers. I am going to write about my life as it is, experiences I have had and I'll keep writing until it becomes a smooth flowing river and not a halting stream broken in places by rubble that has been trampled in.

So welcome back to my blog and look out for what I'm aiming is a constant deluge of my thoughts channeled into words that have very frankly been squashed into dark spaces by events of the past year.

Let the words flow!
