Windy City ...










Random pics from Michelle's Annual Chest Conference in Chicago, immediately following my trip to Philadelphia. Overall she had a great time, except when she lost her cell phone before heading back to Michigan!! :-( Guess it was time for an upgrade anyways ...

City of Brotherly Love

A homecoming of sorts for yours truly. I attend the annual ACG Conference in Philadelphia from the 12th through the 16th, as Michelle stayed behind dog-sitting Ginger. It was a nice chance to re-visit the city where we attended medical school and lived for 4 years. Friday night was quality catchup time with Joby, who'll be a full-fledged Emed attending next year. Unfortunately Jaicy and his 2-year old son Joel were unavailable:


Saturday and Sundy was the post-grad course and hence bulk of the conference. But that didn't mean the boys couldnt' still have fun. Jon and Steve arrived from DC & NYC, respectively as we met up for the night, enjoying a fancy dinner at the Ritz Carlton Hotel and drinks later on ...



The rest of the time was spent with my mom who drove down from LI. We had some fabulous dinners in Center City and enjoyed the sites of the campus,Kelly Drive, and art museum.












I'm not sure the next time I'll make it back to Philly, or if we'll be present for our 5-year reunion next June. So it was a nice opportunity to take advantage and see some familiar sights/faces.
Overall a fabulous trip!!

Eastern Market




Fun weekend activity was visiting Eastern Market last weekend. It is an amazing open air market in the middle of Detroit. I don't think it compares at all to the Mustang Flea Market in Florida but it is a nice addition to the Detroit scene. The fruits and veggies are all those locally grown. A particular abundance of corn and apples.
