Greetings old friends

nutcracker · 12-19-2021, 06:03 PM

Hello again all. Yep, I’ve been a lurker, not a poster. Sorry about that. I’d make all kinds of excuses, but mostly not spending too much time on social media of one sort or another.

All is well my side - just cruised past my 60th birthday, passed the reins of my Department to a younger bloke, but am still working, trying to run a practice (in the face of covid) and design a Provincial strategy for spine care. Still a tough gig.

The weather is vile, the Jets suck, PoMo resigned as coach, but at least our team (The Bombers) won the Grey Cup (Canadian Football League championship).

Christmas time had me pull out Black Corals secret Santa gift from a few years back - a nutcracker in full Jets colours. So, I have been thinking no about you guys.

Take care and seasons blessings

Neil.

Good to hear things are well in your igloo up in the Great White North!

Black Coral · 12-19-2021, 06:34 PM

Jets are going to have a roug year for sure now. Glad you still think that was an awesome secret Santa couldn’t have done it without mom!!

Mom and I say merry Christmas and stay warm

Wow you like hockey? You won’t fit in here at all. You might as well find another board to lurk in………….J/K! You’ll do fine here! Welcome to the asylum! Glad the lurkers are showing themselves these days. I use to work with 2 neurosurgeons down here a Dr John Robinson and John Afshar. I worked in rehab and physical therapy for many a year. Always glad to see some more healthcare workers around here. Have fun! God bless you!

So good to "see" you back, Neil. We talk about you often and miss you always when you're gone.

Gotta put on my Jets jersey today. And hey, could be worse, you could be a Blackhawks fan.
