The band of weather that effects mid-Michigan is sleet and ice. North of us is snow, south of us is rain. The sky is overcast and gray, the kind of snow we have is white, giving sharp contrast to the day. The bushy tailed red and black squirals race along the ground, stopping and scratching and sniffing, looking for buried treasures. Unlike many places in the mid-West, we still have electricity as the utility companies had spent the summer and fall, clearing tree branches above the power and telephone lines so that an ice storm did not lead to interupted service. Anticipation and maintanence pays.
Our days meld one into the other, a blurring of week days with weekends. I have been preparing myself for testimony in a medical malpractice suit that I have been hired as an expert witness. The case has dragged on for several years now and there have been adjournments upon adjournments and I decided to prepare myself as if I were giving a lecture for a class. Hopefully this effort will save me time when the case really comes to trial; not slated now until the end of April into early May.
Kathy and I have been closely following our Spartan basketball team. Last Wednesday we had tickets for the Northwestern/MSU game and yesterday (Sunday) we had tickets for the Illinois/MSU game. These sojourns onto campus also gives an opportunity to go out for dinner, either before or after the games.
Kathy and I have been reading and planning an Alaskan cruise. The ship portion would take us through the inside passageway as well a visit glacers and glaceral bays. The land portion would take us into Alaska's interior. The more we read, the more days we add to the trip.
No word on the Care Free clinic yet, all the paperwork, ie, the medical malpractice insurance needs to be in place before hanging my stethoscope around my neck again.
