So yeah, yesterday, one month into spring, we got 49cm (that's like 19 inches) of snow in one day. Drifts were 4-6 feet in some places, as the snow came with 100km/h (60 mph) winds as well...

Newfoundland, a rock stuck out in the middle of the North Atlantic...where you get winter, swinter, a week known as summer, then winter again...

So for those few PCs who I moderate or play with these days, you've probably nnoticed a decline in my response rate. This is in part due to my schedule in regards to my children's activities. It is also, in part, due to a decline in my muse/interest in writing right now. I am not sure the causative factor(s) behind this, but I just don't have much of a thing for it right now.

I want to emphasize that it is in NO WAY related to the posting quality of those I play with or moderate....

Most of you know what I do for a living, and for those who don't...I am a Family Doc.

I have now been in practice for 16 years, and at my current clinic for 12. Why is this relevant. Well I have been reflecting as of late, particularly on my career, and the good and the bad.

The good: People allow me to assist them with the important things in their lives. I help them through loss, I help them through emotional and physical hardship and turmoil.

Occasionally...

Such a great actor, such a loss. Whether it was the evil dude in Die Hard, or Snapes in Harry Potter, his acting was top notch. That voice, that stare, that command of the screen when he was on it.

He is the man on which I based my PC's avatar, and the man in the hearts of so many...he will be missed.

RIP Alan Rickman

WARNING!!!

If you have not watched GoT, in particular last nights episode (Mother's Mercy), READ FURTHER ONLY AT YOUR OWN RISK (Spoilers)...
