I recently had the pleasure of visiting with an old friend from NY who was visiting from LA. I can’t believe I met this kid when he was a medical student in New York and now he is a liver transplant surgeon in Los Angeles. K.L is from Hong Kong, and I recall … Continue reading »
Today was yet again, another “ten” Seattle day in May. It was my day off. It was 80 degrees and sunny. I got to get my ass kicked in Barre class beyond belief. I got to drink green juice with a very dear friend at my favorite Seattle juice bar. I got … Continue reading »
