Hello.
Alex and I are back from our trip. We did NOT make it to Panama. In fact, we only made it to San Diego. Kind of a bummer that we gave up just after completing half of our journey. But safety was important to us and we just didn’t think the risks were worth it. I’d be happy to explain more – ask any questions if you have them. But in the end I couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend 75 days – I was with my brother and my bike exploring the unknown. I wouldn’t mind being back there right now.
So what have I been doing since my return? Exploring the internets, writing essays, looking for employment, mountain running, resume editing, reading, talking to schools, and sleeping. I’ve been eagerly consuming any sort of medical reading I can get my hands on. Most of the stuff I find interesting I bookmark over on my delicious page. One article of particle interest to me was an Esquire piece on Dr. Warren Hern. He’s the sole proprietor at the Boulder Abortion Clinic. Oh, and an Op-Ed by Bill Maher on the demise of our dear America.
Anyhow, for those of you who don’t know – Good is by far my favorite magazine. They just released a video today that made me melt in my chair a bit. Enjoy:
Fifty People, One Question: Brooklyn
And if that made you feel good. Try this one on for size:

The ignorance displayed in that video is scary. Equating fascism with socialism and communism, Hitler and Obama, it’s breathtaking. Where does one begin to educate people and debunk this nonsense?
