I don't know proper blog ettiquite, but I'd like to introduce my followers to each other.

Phil Poon, who joined yesterday is an ophthamologist in Cincinnati. We met in medical school and have been friends since. My strongest memory of Phil is driving to Akron, Ohio from Columbus with my sister Amy to see a Laura Nyro concert. Welcome, Phil.

I call John Byorth my Afghan friend, though he's a true born and bred Montanan. In the recent past he has lived down the hill and across the Stillwater River. We met in 2006 because we had both been in Afganistan. Meeting a Montanan who knew exactly where the Kabul Emergency Hospital was seemed amazing. John is a writer, too, a carpenter, and a hunter. He's presently working on a TV script which I'm very interested in reading.

Ryan Bourquin is Orty's son and my special friend. He lives in New York and has a business representing artists. He is the one man I can buy presents for without having to think.

that other follower is me, Michelle, placed there by pushing the wrong button. What else is new?
