We said goodbye today to Tucker after 8.5 wonderful years. When we first rescued him, we were told he was from South Carolina. It was clear he’d had a rough puppyhood. He had scars on his face and chipped and missing teeth. Early on, I took him for a run and later that day he was limping. X-rays showed little black dots in his pelvis and penis. Cancer? I asked the vet. No, she said: Those were BBs. He had every reason to hate humans, yet he was so sweet and gentle. He never got aggressive with anyone. He was known on the street for his eagerness to lay down for belly rubs and for presenting his rear for scratches. He was clever, he was resourceful — first night we had him we put him in a crate so that he wouldn’t tear into the house and he chewed his way out of it to freedom —and he was obedient, almost to a fault. He had beautiful and deep copper eyes. He loved to cuddle, to eat steak and chicken, to walk in any type of weather, and to roll around in the snow. He would literally prance through blizzards. He knew not to sit on the couch but he would hop onto it when we backed out of the driveway, watching through a picture window as we left. He was a study in forgiveness and how to revel in the purity of a good snuggle, a good walk, a good day, a good moment. Rest easy, Tucker. And thank you.

I should tattoo my editor @peterblackstock’s unforgettable words on my body: “This book needs to be as many pages as it needs to be.” His genius and his quiet confidence made COVENANT what it is. A writer gets too much credit.

A joyous moment in Brooklyn the other night with Ralph Horwitz MD, who recruited me to Stanford when he took the position of Chair of Medicine. My definition of a mentor is “the one who sees more in you than you see in yourself.” Thank you, Ralph!

Yesterday for #WWYD_Wednesday we ran a poll on a 24 yo man s/p GSW to the L lower chest, traversing to the R lower chest.

A few might have recognized this to be the case of Lee Harvey Oswald, from 1963.

The operative note from Dr. Shires was preserved:

It’s always difficult when you lose a friend, and so many besides me I know feel the same way.We have lost Jerry Blavat at the young age of 82. “The Geator” or “The Boss with Hit Sauce” was so nice to me as a kid in my career. Memories in Margate will never be the same #RIPGeator
