Last night Jennifer gave me what I think is the final 50th birthday present - a hardbound book of photographs and tributes from family, friends and colleagues. It was assembled by Carolyn C., a long-time family friend (thank you!), with assistance and contributions from over 100 people. It has pictures from throughout my life, and lots of memories and well-wishes. What a wonderful gift! Jennifer explained that the publication kept getting pushed back as more people chimed in. Carolyn finally imposed a deadline and brought it over yesterday; unfortunately, I was at work and missed her. Dinner's on me, Carolyn! This will be a treasured keepsake. Thank you to all who contributed.
Jennifer just left for the airport to spend a week in Utah with her sister, Abby, and I'm about to leave for Hopkins for my surgery. Chelsea will be my attending. Here is a link to her blog recounting her recent 30-hour shift. When I feel tired, I can read that, and then I feel exhausted.
Glad you liked it. It was fun to put together. You have lots of fans.
