Aaww....thanks. It seems like my whole life I've been nontraditional for nearly every environment I've found myself in...just a little bit different than the group. Youngest kid in my class...only kid in school without a mom...motorcycle riding, rough and tumble tomboy - not quite one of the guys/not quite one of the girls...underachiever compared to my grade school classmates...overachiever compared to my adult friends...only high school dropout in the honors program in college...older than my classmates in med school...too young for the married people with kids...too old for partying younger folks... How ironic that here I find myself - yet again - not quite fitting the mold of this group of...NONTRADS!!
Meredith, I think that not fitting in makes you perfect match for OPM!!! Even so, you are always welcome! We're sorta like the inhabitants of the Island of misfit toys on one of those old stop-gap animation Christmas specials. Evev though we're not like the others, we have the potential to be superb physicians!!!

Thanks, Dave. It is not lost on me, the signficance that this probably represents one of the only groups in medicine who would collectively recognize a reference to 'Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer' (circa about 1958?)

Hell, I still LOVE o watch those old Christmas specials!!! In fact, I even get teary-eyed from time to time. As a kid, I wanted so badly to live in New England because that's where they staged the Bing Crosby Christmas Special - in some old, beautiful New England home with snow up to your kness or better. My favorite Bing special was the one where David Bowie guest starred & they sang a duet - The Little Drummer Boy. To me, that is THE quintessential Christmas carol...Bing's broad, rich crooner's voice mixed w/ Bowie's vocal range & tinge of falsetto.

You got that on tape?! Wow...I remember that show, thinking at the time that someone keep hold of this because it's great stuff to have Bowie and Bing together. Memorable! AND I grew up in New England which is about as quintessentially Christmasy as you can get! Huge Christmas trees, Santa landing on the roof , traditional foods....ah! (Enjoy New England winters OMD!!)
I mentioned to this to people already, but I got into U. of Pitt SOM about four hours before I showed up for the OPM conference. I guess that means you can add me to the class of 2007. Brian Dunn
