Now that I live in Arizona and presently the weather is mild, I run almost every day. On the days I do not run, I go hiking, so many wonderful trails around here. We do have a pool, but I am not much into swimming for exercise. I miss kickboxing and working out. Hopefully the gyms survive.
Who knows for sure? At least two...my first wife had several miscarriages and my second wife gave me a son.
I have an Apple Watch Series 5 which I like better than my FitBit.
100% Eastern European (Russia) Jewish.
I have used several, mostly use pictures of where I am living at the moment. Currently, it is a hiking trail near my home in AZ. After Christmas it will be a Skiing scene in Colorado, my winter passion.
The only picture of me on my profile is of my backside. My profile name is a derivative of my real name...and FYI, it is not Edward.
In Chicago, never! In AZ, I've seen it, not tried it, but I would.
Mostly Midwestern, North Shore Chicago, with a little New England thrown in (went to grade school, College and med school in Connecticut).
Right here in Arizona...115 degrees.
I suppose awkward because I was scared shitless, a skinny shy kid with the prettiest, most popular girl in school.
Green is not my color even though I wore green surgical scrubs at work for many years. On St. Patrick's Day in my hometown, Chicago, I always wore a shamrock on my coat. Now that I live in the desert southwest where everything is brown, I would welcome a little green in my life. lol
I left active practice 4 years ago for a number or reasons:
1) The assembly line method...more patients, more $$$ generated
2) Unreasonable government regulations
3) Insurance companies dictating healthcare practices
4) Pressure from big Pharma to push several drugs, which, in many cases, has helped in the increased opioid crisis
These are just a few things I disagreed with. After I left,, I spent two years in Israel teaching and learning. Then I came home to work with under-served areas in the USA, i.e. Appalachia, Indian reservations in Northern Arizona, Boot heel of Southern Missouri. I did two stints with Doctors Without Borders in Central America. It was a great experience for me and reminded me why I chose medicine as a career in the first place. All of these positions were voluntary and paid only a small stipend.
One last thing. Someone accused doctors of getting filthy rich with our present healthcare system. I am not one of them. Yes, I made good living and invested wisely, but filthy rich...hardly.
The current one is indicative of where I live now, the Desert Southwest. But, Chicago will always be home!
I'm from Chicago, so what do you think, Mainati's Chicago Classic deep dish pizza. Yum!
I shave once a day, but even after I shave, I have a 5 o'clock shadow. I guess that is because I have black hair which is a contrast to my skin coloration, not pale, but definitely light skinned.
I was an athlete, tennis and cross country. My GF, now my wife, was a cheerleader and a fierce volleyball player. We reconnected four years ago, and it was instant love, just like in HS.
Looking forward to the skiing especially downhill. When in Colorado this past December/January, I watched several people training. Exciting!
I have been running all my life it seems. Cross country in HS and college, then 12 years ago, after my first wife passed away, I started running again, first 5K, then 10k, next to half marathons and have run in three marathons. I run everyday, weather permitting, along Lake Michigan. I don't do bad for a 54 year old man, beat many people who are years younger than I am. My training partner is 20 years younger than me and I keep up with him.
I use a ton of supplements because of my addiction to physical fitness. Don't know if it helps my performance or not, but I seem to be doing a bit of alright! I also eat very healthy, no fired foods at all. Will be curious to see what dietary issues I will have when I travel to the Middle East for a month. And TSA will probably ransack my luggage because of all the supplement, etc. I will be bringing with me. hahaha
I am an avid runner, training for my next marathon. Want to qualify for NYC and Boston next year; only 8 minutes off the time required for my age group. My training partner ran in Boston today, posted his best time ever. Congrats, Adam.
