So, due to circumstances beyond his control, Ed over at Dispatches won't be able to plan our Michigan party, so we're going to do it in the Detroit metro area on Saturday, Sept. 20th. I don't have the place yet, but I'm getting the idea that there are a few definite maybes. Let me know (again if necessary).

Okay, occasional readers, friends, and former students, the date is official. I walked over to Ozzie's, chatted with one of the waitresses (a Garfield grad, no less!), talked with a manager on the phone, and we're on for the party.

Given my basic laziness business, I'm thinking about naming a not-too-busy pub in a decent neighborhood and buying the first few rounds for whomever shows.
On the one hand, I would love to be close enough to actually check it out. OTOH, it was depressing enough to go through Detroit the last time I was there (almost four years ago, when I left MI for the PacNW).

Hi Pal,
My email to you at Yahoo was bounced back.
There is a pre-med asking about which program (MD vs DO) to enter. http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=123113 Several MDs have left thoughtful answers; but you may have something further to offer.
As an outsider, I find the opinions interesting, too.
Hmmm..i'll check my email settings and check out the thread when i have a minute
