The CheckerBoard

1) that's tough. BeauJo's is great for pizza. Unique. There are a couple of good local mexican places too. Colorado Springs has a great upscale pizza place...but I can't remember the name for my life.

2) I like them all. Warm in the winter most of the time. Hot and dry in the summer. Springs and Autumns are beautiful.

3) I don't know what you mean. Seems alright to me?

No more questions from me Crockett, but wanted to give a big thank you for your answers today. Never realized what a great sense of humor you have. I do somewhat take offense to your answer about your medical background and experience . . . I mean I am an Eagle Scout and received extensive first aid training, including my First Aid merit badge, so I do feel qualified to sound off on medical stuff.

Still dishing out +1's to you.

I agree. I took college Biology and I have a good friend who is a doctor. Obviously, I'm well qualified to diagnose and prescribe any and all medical conditions. Some people are just elitists...

Just watch season 1 on Netflix.

No questions but I have spread out 20 UP votes to you throughout the post.

Well, that's a horse of a different color! You should change your screen name to Dr. Volviking. My wife is in a Ph.D. program. It's not medically related or even close, but I think it should still qualify.

tCm, your sense of humor has really been on display today. Some of your responses were just downright hilarious. Appreciate you sharing all your stories and giving us a little peek into your life. One more thing. I really don't believe that there are that many posters that have you on ignore. Even when someone has you on ignore, if anyone quotes you in their reply, your post is seen. Anyone that reads them will realize you are a good poster. Hope you will continue to add your humor to your posts. I love a good laugh. Thanks for playing.

FWIW, I have yet to see a reason to block you, so there is that!

1) As a PA-C, do you have actual people typing your patient files, or does a computer listen and type as you talk? I do medical transcription for my mom as a side-job to pay for my, ahem, "extracurricular activities" in college. The only person in the office who's dictations I do are a PA-C as well.

2) Favorite city that is in a state you've never lived in.

3) Out of conference team you'd most enjoy seeing Tennessee play against?

4) Who will have the biggest breakout performance for the Vols this season? What about outside of the QB position?

5) Does Peyton do as much for Denver as he did for us here in Indianapolis? The man continues to be a god here.

Can't wait until the day I get to do one of these! Or maybe I shouldn't be so excited... Go Cubs!

Sounds good Tntoak except this is a short trip. I'll be on a plane headed back to Mass Friday afternoon. I was up your way last summer and ate at a place called Glacier something. Best Haddock I've ever had.

1) I do dictations, but we have a computerized system. I just speak and sign...i don't see them after that so I don't really know what happens on the back end.

2) Hmmm. Probably Portland. But I also really enjoyed Dallas...it's just so big it's hard to get a real grasp on it. Women are amazing in Dallas. Just...breathtaking.

3) I'd really like to see them play Nebraska. I always felt like that would be a fun 1 and 1.

4) I think it's going to be McNeil. I have a really good feeling. Don't ask me why.

5) He is already beloved. Small story: In November, an unnamed professional athlete in Denver purchased and donated 1000 brand new winter coats, hats, gloves and 4 pairs of winter socks...to the Denver Rescue Mission and the Catholic Charity house for homeless people. A big semi just showed up with various sizes and the homeless lined up and were given what they needed. It was at least 50,000 dollars worth of stuff. It was anonymous, but many people speculate it was Manning. This story didn't even make the Denver Post...I know about it because I am friends with a director at the Catholic Charity house.
