A Tale of Two New Cars, Part 2

A few years ago, my extended household saw the purchase of two new cars. The two purchases were very different in many ways, and I thought it might be worthwhile reviewing the experiences, with the hopes the comparison might be entertaining, and maybe educational.

Two weeks ago I wrote I about my step-son’s experience buying his first car on his own. He had a few difficulties, mostly related to his youth, lack of savings, and lack of credit history. My car purchasing experience offers a definite contrast.

Fitness Log #13

One of the favorite things I have heard from a patient is: you’re a doctor, you don’t have to worry about blood pressure. Implying, of course, that doctor’s don’t struggle with their health.

I most certainly do struggle with fitness and health, like many other Americans with sedentary jobs and a proclivity to eat treats. One of my goals is to make sure that I get my 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise (or 75 minutes of high intensity exercise, which probably won’t happen). I will see for how long I am willing to document my progress Saturday to Friday.

This week I was still working in the hospital, but getting ready for/recovering from the holidays.
