Sorry we haven’t updated our blog the last week. It has been raining here in Chicago and I guess our phone lines don’t like the rain so much!

 

Otherwise it has been a pretty good week. I just finished up my two weeks on the inpatient neurology service. It was a really good experience and I learned a ton. Neurology is actually much more fascinating than I had thought! Tomorrow I start a week  in the Neuro ICU, which should be intense! I will keep you updated.

The Past Few Months…

bagpipers

Since Micah finished his Pediatrics rotation he had a week off of school, so we took advantage of it as much as we could. On September 12 we hit two festivals, a Celtic Festival and a Ukrainian festival. It was so rad. These are real bagpipers.

Free Burger at TGI Fridays.

If you become a fan of "Woody" (some sort of TGI Fridays freaky mascot or something) on facebook, they will send you a coupon for a free burger!!! Pretty cool. I guess you can only redeem the coupon in a 3-4 day period (Oct. 11-14), but still a pretty sweet deal! In order to get the coupon, you need to become Woody's fan before Sept. 30, 2009.

Click here to register to be Woody's facebook fan.

As a side note, it looks as if all the Western Washington TGI Fridays are closing....
All Washington TGI Friday's closing.

Too bad...
