Hi again, Beve. Yes, those are Banff pictures - I absolutely *loved* Banff, never having been in the *real* Rockies before (they tell me Colorado Springs doesn't count). I'm glad I got to see some of Calgary as well - I've always enjoyed my jaunts up north of the border.
I'm still trying to get my hang of e-conferencing as well - luckily we have some great guides on the site who can help us out.
I've been looking at your website and am fascinated by your integration of humo(u)r and the medical world - I know vicariously (through my wife) how pressurized it can be, and how laughter can be the release valve. (And having looked at your site, I can vouch for your forehead and hair.)
Again, welcome to the ship, and look forward to talking more.
Welcome, Beve! I'm glad that my friend Janie told you about us and that you've decided to join us on the journey. (I just love it when "connections" come together.) As Jodi said, we come from all over (geographically, experientially, spiritually) and share a love of exploring, flexing, and supporting. Come on in, play, and dance to the music!
