It's Christmas eve. Most people are with their families but myself and one co-worker are manning the OR suite; the hospital is quiet and we are alone at the main desk with not a doctor or patient in sight.

I love this time of year. Full of hope. Inspiring. Makes you really want to get out there and, I don’t know, change the world. Not change, obviously, let’s be realistic. Remodel the world perhaps.

All we had was our fishing gear, some bait, an old kerosene lantern and some sleeping bags we finally climbed into about 3 am in the morning. He left me with a thousand memories just like that I'll always cherish. Years, decades ...
