Almost the end of February -- it is either raining or snowing outside.
This may be completely inappropriate -- but I am going to do it anyway.

I have the eerie feeling that if you stand still you are going to get run over. That being said, today I have completed half of my motorcycle training course and have become a part-time faculty member of Centennial College in Toronto. Kind of weird at my age - but I live for weird. I am looking forward to my first teaching assignments this spring.
Now back to studying -- I have another full day of class tomorrow and the teacher is a little demanding.
February 10
Seven weeks since my last post. Some people would say that my lack of daily posts is a sign of a lack of dedication; others would say it is a sign that there is no addiction involved with my posts. My reason is simple -- if you have nothing to say then don't say anything! This is not as if I have a commitment to provide 800 words of wisdom on a daily basis.
Anyway, this week I had the great pleasure of having to go downtown (as in south of Steeles Ave. three times for hearings). I guess I will have to wait about a month to see if I contravened any traffic intersection photo cameras. The score was two chiropractic hearings and one labour board hearing.
I read an article in Chiropractic Reports today which was a copy of a speech given by a chiropractor/lawyer. For the chiropractors in the audience -- it is a must read. The site is at
http://chiropracticreport.com/portal/images/back_issues/No_%206%20-%20Nov%202011.pdf
The article is by Dr. Richard Brown. For those of you in the chiropractic profession who live on a different planet and may be unaware - Chiropractic Report is published by David Chapman Smith, LLB., legal counsel to a number of national and international organizations.
I suppose I could sum up my appreciation of the article by indicating that my concern for the profession rests with the fact that unless there is a continued and advanced commitment to chiropractic education and research the profession is doomed to continue on a merry go round which provides little comfort when dealing with the powers to be in health care. In a very "sick" sort of way, you will know that chiropractic has reached the level of the other health care professions when we no longer have to consider the following, namely:
when a medical doctor does something wrong it's "bad doctor"; when a dentist does something wrong it's "bad dentist"; when a chiropractor does something wrong its "bad profession" !
Now that is a strange goal to stive for!
and to the Doctor that I met at the Chinese New Year Dinner last week --- no I am not retired -- while not teaching (full time / part time) I do continue to work a half-day each day as in about 8 am. to 8 pm. -- and still loving it.
