Hello everyone! Just a quick post to let everyone know what’ going on in Anchorage. Nothing too crazy happened today expect I had to be at the pharmacy early to work up 8 patients before 9 am! Not so bad except for the fact that when it was time for clinic to start….the power went out :( Since we couldn’t get anybodies labs done we just sat around and discussed a few things. Judy is great. She is soo smart and she is teaching me lots about oral diabetic meds that I used to know hardly anything about. My comfort level with diabetes is coming along smoothly.

In our discussion, I discovered that Anchorage and Alaska in generaly is very tectonically active. Southern Alaska actually sits on the ring of fire that basically makes a huge circle along many tetonic plates that collide with pacific oceanic plate. This makes for the sweet volcanoes in Hawaii and major earthquakes in this part of the world as well as in parts of Asia. Judy said earthquakes and tremors happen often. Apparently one happened the other night and we just didn’t feel it! Crazy!

Anyway after we walked home from work in the rain (we were drenched), Stephanie and I decided it was time to cuddle up in our PJs, make some dinner and watch a movie. We ended up watching Mona Lisa Smile! One of my absolute favorties :) Afterwards, we geard up for a quick run. Steph ran on the treadmill and I decided to make my way up to Alaska Pacific University’s campus again. Damn, what a view. Hopefully tomorrow Stephanie and I will be compiling all of our reserach, printing it and get the ball rolling on our proposed protocol! Also we might take our new bikes down to Russian Jack Park and do some running down there if the weather holds up.

Having a blast and missing you all!
