A voice not to be forgotten
Thanks to the beautiful, smiling faces of the folks at the Huntsville office of the American Red Cross today - Nyesha, Janie, Doris and Juanita. I enjoyed watching "Open Range" during apheresis process.
A nod to Welch Allyn for the blood pressure cuff used today.

Will get to be WordPress whenever it allows me to log back in and post blogs.
Silence is my friend but not absence of words. ;)

Thus Endeth This Blog
The cowboy rolls up his knapsack/pup tent combo, slings it over his shoulder and steps into his rocket boots to pursue a lifelong dream.

It's always been about you, me, us, as usual, too.
He issues a voice command and off he goes.
"Giddyup, boy, let's get this show on the road!"
Whoooooosh!!!!
