A milestone day for me today!

Well it's been 30 years to the day since I entered private practice! Wow! Where does the time go!?!




Monday, October 1 / 1984 was my first day! The hair style has definitely changed!

Just thought I'd share this with you, the ladies and gents of PPOT!

Cheers!

What do you do that you need to practice it for 30 years?

How do you get to Carnegie Hall?

Lots of practice.

You should be there by now.

Ha! You're lucky you're in "private practice" in Canada. Soon, here in the U.S.A. there will be no private practice! Sell to the local hospital delivery system or ACO or be locked out for good!

Congrats to the 30 years!

How true indeed! I shouldn't have to practice it anymore as I've been doing it for the last 30 years, damn.....lol!

Sorry, no lawyer here! Optometrist....I am! Licence plate: CME2SEE (not mine but a colleague of mine has that one).

Merci a mon frere Pelican, JJ!...Yes, the 997TT was a little gift to myself in advance.....luv it!

Oh and the hair? Still there but now it's groomed East to West as opposed to North to South.....the Mullet is long gone!

Small world - I have that identical Gold chain...well, did have.
I gave it and a small 14K Gold tennis racquet (tournament prize) to my Endocrinologist - she plays and I no longer do.

Thanks livi!

Actually Don the chain is a pretty cheap silver one. I bought it in Mexico about 15 years ago for $5 BUT it's comfy. I feel naked without it now!

Hey Richard! Good to hear from you. I hope you're doing well? Are you back in Kauai?
