Margaret and Me

That should be the title of a book. Margaret Rowley is a great soul that I am so glad to have gotten to know. The Indian gentleman who took our pictures saw the two of us and said to Margaret, "you look like a true Vermonter." Nothing could be truer. And what a picture the two of us make. I was just ending my interview day at UVM and she was meeting me for a cup of coffee. I am amazed at the family resemblance despite the difference in age and height. It's all in the cheeckbones.

Pictures from the last few months

Here area a few pictures from the road, old friends from Albany. Although medical school has been busy, it's nice to reconnect when time allows. I surprised Elena by showing up in Albany at her birthday party of all things. Asante has had a baby since I saw her and she's already going on two. How the time flies. Calvin has really taken to soccer. You can see the grin on his face for yoursef.

I'm still constantly drawn to art and am dying to have time to make some of my own. The books are from a bookstore in concord. Since I saw them we have been working on a few folded books ourselves, pictures will follow. The Chains of colorful stickers are from an exhibit at Mass Moca and are made from all those pesky stickers on fruit. I droppped in on my dad for the first time in a couple of years and we walked in the bangor bog. I love the little poofs of grasses in the fall. I've forgotten the name of this particular one, cotton grass might be the common name.
