Comings and Goings

What a day! The President gave his State of the Union address today and the state of our union is...wait for it...strong. The Oscar nominees were named and were populated by a bunch of movies we haven't seen. Samuel Alito was confirmed as Supreme Court Justice, likely tipping the Court to the right. Coretta Scott King died today at 78. Alan Greenspan stepped down after 18 years as Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Twins were born in my practice today and my oldest patient died a peaceful but sudden death at 103. She was on virtually no medicine and got out of the house everyday. She always had a smile on her face and made my day every time I saw her. All of this will take a few days to sink in.
