FRRRRRRREEEEEEEDDDDDDDOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!
I am finally free. For those who don't know why I haven't updated this blog in ages, I have been interviewing for jobs and preparing for a big test. Over the last month and a half I interviewed at 15 places in 15 different cities. In addition to that I had to study for and take the second portion of the United States Medical Licensing Exam. It was about as fun as it sounds. But today I took the 9 hour test and for the immediate future I am free as a bird. For those interested, these are the 15 places we are looking at going (in no particular order).
1. Lexington, Kentucky
2. San Antonio, Texas
3. Salt Lake City, Utah
4. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
5. Portland, Oregon
6. Tampa, Florida
7. Houston, Texas
8. Ann Arbor, Michigan
9. Cincinnati, Ohio
10. Memphis Tennessee
11. Columbia, Missouri
12. St. Louis, Missouri
13. Springfield, Illinois
14. Oakland, California
15. Phoenix, Arizona
Any suggestions? The next step is for us to come up with a rank list. I know what mine would look like, but we will have to see what Heather's list looks like and come up with a "master rank list".

Yes we can.......go to jail
Found a few sweet mug shots of people who would love to reap the benefits from our increasing taxes...
With Rahm recently revealed to be on the Blago tapes, maybe some of them can share deep political discussion in the clink.

Memphis
This weekend Heather, Em and I went to Memphis. I had an interview and we had wanted to see the place for a while. We made the drive down and found ourselves at Corky's. This place was voted best BBQ in memphis 9 years in a row. It was phenomenal!!!
Before heading back to the hotel, I had to see where Johnny Cash started it all. Did I mention we listened to the man in black almost the entire trip?
We used the Trolleys a lot to avoid traffic and parking issues. Em thought it was great!
Friday was my interview. It went well and when I came home I found Heather and Em waiting for me in the lobby.
Friday night we went to Huey's whose burgers have been voted best in Memphis for 13 years in a row. The food was great! Also they encourage everybody to write on the wall and shoot their toothpick from their sandwich into the ceiling with their straw.
After dinner we took a carriage ride back to our hotel. Em thought it was pretty neat to see a horse up close.
Saturday morning we rode the trolley down to Beale St. It was kind of fun, but seemed more suited to those who like to get inebriated.
Our last stop in Memphis was at the famous Peabody hotel. Since the 30s there is a family of ducks that live in the penthouse. At 11:00 am each day the ducks come down the elevator into the main lobby, they roll out a red carpet for them and they waddle over to the fountain where they hang out for most of the day. It was kind of fun to watch. They also had a real gingerbread house they had been constructing since September, and a giant Christmas tree.
On our way back to St. Louis we stopped at a place called Lambert's. It is the hoome of the "throwed rolls". They have guys walking around the place and when you raise your hand they will chuck a roll across the room at you. Kinda fun. The portions were gigantic. We ordered the small portions of everything and still were stuffed. Anywhere that brings your coke in a cup like this is OK with me...
