I don't question your desires, Tom, I actually envy them. If I could push a button and go All-Mac, I would do it. From what I understand, there aren't as many issues with crappy slow computers due to who-knows-what. I just bought an HP computer about a year ago and it is supposed to be loaded. However, it can't run stuff that it should easily be able to run. I have recovered it a couple times only to see that nothing helps. Really frustrating because I bought this computer to do things and now it just sits there to check email and do Word documents. My laptop, which is not nearly as beefy, seems to work better, although it isn't strong enough to play any games. So, what I am getting to is that if I had that magic button, I would do it. It is just that that button has a hefty price tag. One question though: Are new releases of games now able to be played on Macs?? Just curious.

Things are going well here in Washougal. I took a trip to Utah last weekend (just Friday and Saturday) for a dental laser course. We have this expensive and very cool laser here in the office that can do some pretty amazing things and I went up there for a meeting of a lot of users...we kind of share all of our experiences and learn more about what we can accomplish with it. Great learning opportunity. That took most of the time, then I visited Adina's brother in Provo and the Lever's (good dental school friends of mine) for a couple of hours before I flew back. Then I had some orthodontic training in Portland on Sunday and Monday. Needless to say, the weekend flew by. Here it is Thursday already...amazing.

Martha, don't feel left out that I didn't come to visit you guys, I will be up there in May hopefully. Oh yeah, I wanted to check and see if there were any open rooms at the Eden Retreat around May 6th. I plan to come up there for the Ogden Marathon on the 6th and would love to be able to stay with you guys. I'll check with you later.

Homerun Brian, you never cease to amaze me with your thoughtfulness for others when your life is so incredibly busy. Thank you so much for the mats, they really look good in the practice. For those that didn't see them yet, he had these custom mats made with my new logo on them for the practice. They're pretty cool!

Our family is doing fine here. Adina keeps us all in line and "remembering" things. There are days, like these last few, where I really think I would be lost if she weren't here. This is officially (for me) BRAIN FART WEEK! Celebrate as you wish.
