Southern comfort

So to keep with the mystery locations, I can say that there are some nice vistas from the airport and that said airport is not equipped to handle mechanical issues especially on weekends. The lobby of one of the hospitals in the complex reminded BMB of Cook Children"s and it was also mentioned in A New York Times op-ed. Still stumped? It's the prettiest city in Alabam...

Butt-Hole Surfer

 Bone Marrow Bob is back from saving the world one transplant at a time. Once again I can't say where he's been but here are a couple of hints. Perhaps somewhere in the wild, wild, west where guns are not permitted and onto a place BMB has been before..... the clue is , where the airport is in a different state than the city.
Road weary, indeed. Every trip is an endless board of ETAs, over priced, pre packaged airport food, and cramped seating. He's been on the road so long he has worn a hole in his red suit, prompting the nickname "butt-hole surfer". Bucky is disgusted!

Glamour?

There is no glamour in being a courier. The best thing I can say is at least the streets are clear of gum.

Roadie

Surfer Bob was in the Netherlands most of June being a roadie to ONI -a mandolin orchestra. He made many new friends. His new BFF is Cor Roozendaal, composer and conductor extraordinaire.
After traveling the countryside on tour,SB chilled out in Amsterdam.His favorite pastime is going to museums and there are some doozies in Amsterdam, like the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh.
Why oh why do people like to take pictures of pictures? I think you miss the subtleties because you are so busy behind the camera which doesn't pick up the subtleties. Will someone please explain this to Bob? 

Dude with a Destination

Yup, that's right. Bone Marrow Bob is at it again. I can't say where but he sometimes visits the gift shop. Hospital gift shops are pretty interchangeable. He was not in the market for smiley face balloons on this day. At any rate, he is glad to be back on duty. Now its time for a vacation.

Reinstated!!

Yes its true. Bob had to pull a few strings and go through a rigorous application and training but its official. Here he is at orientation in Washington DC  learning such things as how to take your gloves off. His distinguished colleague, Dr Jill McGovern, is taking notes or checking her e mail. Bone Marrow Bob will have to be more discreet because that is in the job description. Somehow he will report back to the blog. All I can say for now is his first trip is coming up.

BRAZIL

Surfer Bob was getting antsy. Where to go, where to go? How about Brazil where the samba is hot, people are friendly and where there is another iconic landmark. An added incentive is that Christ the Redeemer is #3 on the list of modern wonders of the world. Maybe Bob should make it his mission to visit all the wonders while he is on sabbatical. Truth be told, this writer has been to 3(4)** of the wonders, but that doesn't mean SB can't have his picture taken at every one!
* Brazil is not on the trip adviser map with a few other places Surfer Bob has been when he is not carrying marrow.
**Great Wall, Petra,Christ the Redeemer, Machu Picchu,  Chichen Itza, Colosseum,Taj Mahal
honorary mention Pyramids. How does the only original wonder still in existence only get an honorable mention???????
