Bone Marrow Bob in Iowa City

Iowa is very flat and that's coming from a North Texan.












No one was jealous of this trip(except maybe Gretchen) but BMB goes where he's told. It was an easy journey and Iowa City is a fun college town. The people there are the salt of the earth.

Surfer Bob does Vegas!!!!

In May there was a reunion of old school chums, I mean old, some going back to first grade. We picked Las Vegas because of it's blatent tackiness. There were 10 people invited and 4 of us showed. Not a bad percentage after 30 years. We manged to hold our own in Sin City and Surfer Bob was there to witness it in all it's glory. There were Bob sightings in the casinos, at fine restaurants, and the pool. I do not reccomend staying at the Flamingo Hotel , but if you must make the most out of it. Surfer Bob was able to work on his tan. He fit in quite well with all the bridezillas and wedding parties. It's amazing how many wedding chapels there are around town and that's not including the drive thrus. Saturday was spent at the cabana by the "adult" pool. Almost single, Candace, had her eyes and hands all over Bob.
Bert couldn't wait to have his picture taken with the spitting flamingoes in the background.
I don't know what David is doing with Surfer Bob but he seems to be amused.

30 plus years ago!!! Look at all the hair. Sorry David and Annie.

Surfer Bob enjoyed getting up close with the "Stance". Unfortunately, the pools were too crowded for us to perform sinking leg. Although nothing is left of the original Vegas hotels, here Carol Merrill shows off the monument, or shall I say, shrine to Bugsy Malone. Think of what a legacy this man, this mobster , left to America. People flock to this desert oasis from all over the world to snag a little piece of the hedonistic lifestyle.





Here we are indulging in that lifestyle. The picture is small because we're not as young as we used to be. If you dare you can click on the pic and see us warts and all.

The Team

This is the Cook Children's team that Bone Marrow Bob works with, or for, or is there for their amusement. They probably prefer that I don't use names but I will say that it is a cracker jack transplant group of doctors and nurses. Oops. you are not seeing double and fear not there are not identical twin transplant docs, it's just my computer randomly picked Meaghan to make the picture symetrical.

Chicago Bob

Bone Marrow Bob was on the case last week. He averted major storms in DFW to get the product through. Unlike the postal service that is supposed to come through rain , sleet or snow, Bob actually does manage it.
A nice sign in Wicker Park
Who can go to Chicago without enjoying a slice? This was no ordinary Chicago style pizza at Piece, in fashionable Wicker Park. Build your own hand thrown, thin crust red or white.
