Colleague Linda King Heads to California




Our friend and colleague Linda King heads off to her home state of California. Many of her HealthLINE friends and co-workers sent her off with Texas mementos and fun gifts.

Friday, August 26, 2005


While not a strictly a HealthLINE post, I'd like to take advantage of my HealthLINE blogging power to introduce my daughter, Elise Elora. She was born August 20 at 8:16 am, weighing 6 pounds, 12 ounces and measuring 19 inches long. We're both happy and healthy, though I've forgotten what sleeping through the night is like.
