An 18 year old bottle of scotch

On the eve of my birthday while enjoying this 18 year old single malt scotch, I am asking my self what was I doing 18 years ago - when this scotch began its journey.

18 years ago, I was moving into a new rental in beautiful Hanover, NH. I got my first dog, Magoo - a real sweet, yellow lab. My career was largely an unknown, but I was working on one of the largest studies conducted on end of life care in the US (price tag of $28 million dollars). Very lucky to play pivotal role and publish many papers. Now about 150 papers later, so much has changed and so much in health care has not changed. The best things are my two beautiful nieces, I rediscovered the joys of photography, and 85% of time I really do work that I am committed too and very passionate. What is not know is whether we have a better health care system in my older years?

So I going to savor this scotch and this crazy dog (Moki) who is running around the yard with piece of orange canvas that is his passion in life.

Cheers!
