... former national educator) and let me hem them in the store. Instead, Doris at Fabric Carousel graciously allowed me to use one of her classroom Berninas. We had a great time chatting about Bernina, Viking, and the inside scoop on the sewing business. Although she mainly carries quilting fabric, Doris also had a small selection of nice garment fabrics; I picked up a natural linen with a wide band of multicolored sequins, which should make a pretty skirt. 1101 12th ...

... being able to sleep! Not going to do that again, you know! Good sleep, poor nutrition. The Baker was an excellent room to sleep in. Steven, who bought me drinks was "friendly." Nicole was the manager, though she was wonderful we chatted off and on. This is all old news, and stale. The real story went down athe next evening in College Station, but it may take weeks to post all that good mess!

... can to get Patrick if you come to MCHD. He'll teach you not only street medicine, but how to integrate book medicine into your treatments and diagnosis. He's one of the best medics I've met. Texas is a nice place (considering what I thought of it before) and I am seriously considering applying for a position at MCHD and moving back here. Houston isn't that bad - though there are some spots that are just as "Cletus the Slackjawed Yokel" as you can ...

... hands, since it allows me to focus on history and physical exams. She took blood thinners, which made me worry a little about the hematoma on her left leg. It was hot to the touch and had increased in size from the time we backboarded her and got her into the ambulance. She was in quite a lot of pain, too. I started an IV and we headed out. Other than the couple of other scrapes, she was fine though. We had a good respiratory - a 5 year old woke up with sudden barking ...

I have a lot of days off in between and if I'm not too tired I can take shifts between. I'm really looking forward to it now! More later! I have to get ready for my first shift tomorrow morning!

We went to Bastop State Park. It is not very big, but good enough for my first backpacking experience! We hiked 3/4 of the trail the first day and stayed the night. The trail is small enough to do in one day but we wanted to camp out. It was very pretty but we camped in the wrong area and could hear the highway : ( Over all I enjoyed the hike.

So driving back and forth between Houston and Dallas/Ft Worth, I always pass the big Sam Houston statue in Huntsville. Finally one day I decided to stop and take a picture. Basically it's just right there on the side of the highway. I was trying to take a picture and all the truckers were honking at me. Someone told me it used to have a huge "bulge" in the pants area, but the town voted to have it shaved down.

What a great two days we all spent in Austin--meeting each other and learning more about the trip to Egypt. Both Chris and Kamran were awesome. They willingly shared their knowledge and personal anecdotes about the Middle East.
