Like usual, Elizabeth has the first shift today. I feel much better, but still a little frazzled. I didn't sleep very much and I still feel achy. I hope my bowels don't prevent us from arriving at our destination today, but we'll stop in the forests of Oregon for the night if I am not up to driving my part.

Not Noisy in Boise
As far as I am aware, I have had the privilege of being Elizabeth McKeown, M.D.'s very first patient. I awoke at midnight here with serious stomach pains. After some quick palpations and very friendly bedside chat, she concluded that I've had a nearly zero-fiber diet since before graduation, and it's finally catching up to me. She then ran to a Wal-greens about a mile away, bought Tylenol, fiber supplement, and laxative and delivered it back to me. When I was done medicating, she gave me the most gentle kiss. This must be the future of concierge medicine.

Well Alec, I guess this just proves you'll do anything to add to the memories! How nice you have an extra day - you can relax and not push the trip and still get there on time. I agree with Adam - more pictures AND more stories of the road. Just think what John Steinbeck did with "Travels with Charley"!
