Flight of Ideas

I'm sitting in the lobby of the Charlottesville airport, and just the anticipation of boarding my flight is giving me flight of ideas.

Today I served as an abdominal model for the Emergency Department physicians to practice their ultrasound skills.  My favorite moment?  Being told by the attendings that I had an impressive rectus abdominis muscle.  P90X, you do me good.

My friend from high school, Stew, is a captain in the US Coast Guard.  He just returned from serving a tour in Bahrain.  He was also on yesterday's episode of The Price Is Right.  Spoiler alert: he wins the Showcase Showdown!

For some reason, I haven't gotten excited about Christmas music yet this year.  Maybe going to the Lighting of the Lawn would have put me in the holiday spirit.  Sadly, I will be missing it for the first time in eight years.

Okay, time to get on my plane.  Next stop: Chicago!
