Today: The Quick/Abbreviated Version

OKAY, I've been asked to make sure I get a blog post up, but have very little time, so here's the down-and-dirty, and I'll try to do the more fun, expanded version after we wind down/after supper later!

• We got here safely-- finally!  But dog tired last night
• Today rocked, but we're dog tired again
• Saw 11 patients
• Scheduled five surgeries, but only four of them are gynecologic (one's a hernia for Tom; long story)
• Everyone (except Heidi-- don't worry, honey!) rotated in and out of market and got some shopping done
• Finally got internet service established (both the modems I had from prior trips, it turned out, were broken) after an hour at the store this afternoon
• Now headed to dinner and to celebrate both TIA and BETH, who both have birthdays today, believe it or not!!!  
• Then headed back to maybe catch the end of the Super Bowl with Jana and Tom if it's still going
• Then planning to crash. Hard. Again.

I'll write more later and get some pictures posted, I hope!  Thank you all for your prayers and love...
