By: crown comfort : November 28th, 2014-01:55
Hi all, we don't really have a Thanksgiving tradition over here, but if I look back at 2014, then I can say this year has been a vintage GP year. While I was able to find a couple of modern GPs I had on my hunt list, I really ventured this year into the v...
Friday... At the hospital...
By: nilomis : November 28th, 2014-02:32
After a leg surgery. Very successful, so I say thanks to the surgeons and the team of this five star hospital. Should be back home tomorrow. Five days with my Doppel. A great weekend to all, Nilo ...
No worries ...
By: nilomis : November 28th, 2014-03:52
I had a congenital arterial disease, on the two legs. Done with the left, should do another surgery next year. Modern medicine sometimes works. Cheers, Nilo
Thanks Art ...

Finally, time for a static pic ...
