Today, I boast of 3 skills. <\/p>\n

1:  I can juggle 6 lbs (3 x 2lb balls) 500 times.  And then my forearms fall off:<\/p>\n

3: We can host a 1500 lb party (10 of Helen\u2019s co-workers) on our little 2nd floor porch, with lots of good food and wine, and amazingly, especially considering the wine, nobody<\/strong> falls off:<\/p>\n

And lakes:<\/p>\n

The best place to view the scenery is from the tail car, where there are open windows, right next to do no loitering signs: <\/p>\n

I climbed up to the top of the train, like James Bond, and then crawled onto front bumper of the engine to take this photo:<\/p>\n

One of the above captions is not quite truthful, but its a secret as to which one. <\/p>\n

Speaking of secrets, Helen and I are considering a move West.  We have 2 interview trips lined up, first one in at the Billings Clinic, 10\/17 \u2013> 10\/20, the 2nd one at the Salt Lake University Hospital, 11\/15 \u2013> 11\/18.    We are excitedapprehensive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
