4 years ago, I bet a skeptical buddy that Joe Biden would complete his term. This was subject to Biden dying, resigning, being impeached, etc. Joe came through and so did my buddy with this check! (And he did settle the bet with cash!) Thank you Mr. President for your service.

And thank you to Dr. Ruth Landau, the editorial staff, and reviewers at IJOA for their hard work in the peer review of our manuscript. Science wouldn’t happen without people doing this often unrecognized work

Made this apple pie from scratch in accordance with T Keller standards (masterclass.com/articles/chef-…). Nowhere near his level, but not bad for an anesthesiologist! Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

Loving the diversity of accounts on this platform! At my country club, I’d say about 97% of the members are conservative and us “liberal golfers” know who we each other are (one of them used to work for Ann Richards when she was governor of Texas!)

Walked 18 holes of golf today in 13-21° C temperatures. Got some amazing steak tacos between holes 9 & 10. Didn’t play as well as I would have liked, but can’t complain about late November golf!

#Ansky: who here is doing intrathecal morphine instead of thoracic epidurals for post op pain management? The Spring ASRA meeting had a compelling lecture on how many institutions are abandoning thoracic epidural analgesia in favor of ITM. @ropivacaine.bsky.social @dr-rajgupta.bsky.social
