With a mixture of embarrassment n relief I report that tonight's bloody head wound was helped by my neighbors w/ bandages n TLC G/bye 2009!!

Wishing you all a safe, happy, healthy, and prosperous 2010! Let's make this coming year the most magnificent one yet! My best to you! :-D

Tomorrow at midnight, let go of what you know. This weekend take the time to reflect on new changes to put into action Monday, January 4th!

After going through one of the most difficult days of the year, I am reminded of the wonderful healing effects of conversations with friends

Amusing myself once more by watching my nieces in our Boston "Extreme Christmas Camping" video: http://ping.fm/lxcql

Reflecting upon how great it is to visit family members and the importance of making this a priority. Check out my pics from my Boston Xmas.

Heading out to catch some afternoon rays and enjoy the "warm" weather. Ccccold later this week. And possibly more white stuff!!! Yeah! :-D

Hanging out at Logan Airport in Boston for Soithwest flight that's delayed nearly an hr. Funny bc new SWA app said said flight on time. :-(

"The Frog Prince" - great movie 2 C with ur 4 n 8 yo nieces. A little dark in spots but nothing that a little face covering can't handle :)

Happy Boxing Day everyone! :-D

On late night water run to Hingham kitchen. Using iPhone as flashlight. Where's that light switch? ;-)

Happy Christmas and Merry New Year to you all! Your friendship and love is the best gift of all. You make hanging 'round the world fun! :)

Holiday Nutrition Tip: Watch out for high-calorie, high-fat "leggnog" It'll go "From your eyes to your thighs." :)

Just posted "Extreme Christmas Camping" video to my FB profile: http://ping.fm/T9td2 Fun, fun,fun!!!

First night sleeping in niece's room in a twin Princess bed with real Princess pillow cover. However, I feel much more like a King. :)

Just finished watching Yelliw Submarine. Lots of fun watching the nieces trying to join the adults in a Beatles sing-along. Very cute! :-)

"All you need is love..". It's all in the mind ya know.. :-)

Watching the Beatles' Yellow Submarine with the family post-Thai dinner. Discerning the Liverpool acccent n watching out 4 Blue Meanies :-)

Arrived in Boston and now in Hingham preparing for a 2 hr nap. 4 am wakeup was too much for me. ZZZzzz... (out) ;-)

Off to Boston tomorrow to continue my efforts to brainwash my nieces into believing that I am their "favorite uncle." Wish me luck! ;)

dctweetup at M&S bar with @Sisarina @Aishajcreative @redsprinkle where inattentiveness is combined with indifferance. Great company though

Finally venturing out onto the semi-treated streets on the way to check out @Sisarina office improvements. Car weighed down with quarters :)

Just stared down a huge plow that was about to block my driveway again. Victory!!! My personal Tiananman Square tank moment of the day. :)

Snow behaving badly. Melting and refreezing even now causing LOTS of ice n black ice. Be VERY careful out there! And clean off your roofs!

Pushin' for Winter Solstice Happy Hour! At 12:47 pm today! Let's celebrate the shortest day of the year as the days start getting longer. :)

Watched in horror less than an hour ago as a plow came by blocking my driveway. I'm stuck! Heading out to shovel fore it turns to concrete

3.25 hrs to clear driveway and car. Left shldr needs ice. Will likely get plowed in tomorrow for sure. More shoveling at dawn. No plow now

Just witnessed snow plow getting stuck on my street, spinning his tires like a Yugo. No too confident about getting outta da hood in the am

Listening to ChilloutSundays on FriskyRadio while Prepping 4 next shoveling battle. TIME OUT by Ingo Vogelmann. Get in! Thanks @friskyradio

Snow Shoveling Tips video just uploaded to YouTube. Stay safe and avoid injury! http://ping.fm/1XHbp Enjoy! ;-)

Flickr photo links from the back of the house with better captions: http://ping.fm/obPiV Stay toasty everybody! :-D

Hey everybody! Just posted photos of my deck on FB. http://ping.fm/yDjx4 It's beautiful but still coming down! :D

Just awoke from a 2.5 hr nap. Steadily climbing towards consciousness. Shoveling is strong exercise for a recovering shoulder. Coffee? :)

BWI airport just shut down. National airport closed. Dulles open but slow. Glad my friends got out of town yesterday to Colombia n Italy :)

Looks like the snow may significantly slow down around 2 am. I will be under the covers by then, not uncovering the sidewalks. ;)

Temporarily defeated in battle w Mother Nature Refueling for the next assault. Battle lost will win war. Buffalo ex pats are a hardy lot! :)

Mother Nature is interfering with my little video project by throwing down a nasty band of heavy snow right now. Need to learn patience. ;)

Post-snow-shoveling smoked salmon and spinach omlet Amazingly good. Not the @Sisarina cereal or @ChefTony feast but incredibly satisfying.

I survived the Blizzard of '77 in Buffalo and the Blizzard of '78 in Boston. “The Best Day is a Snow Day!!!” You can quote me." :-D

I LOVE snow. I enjoy playing in it, making snowmen (and snow women), throwing snowballs, sledding upon it, and skiing upon it

Contemplating shooting a short snow shoveling video. Mother Nature has already provided the set. I just need to provide the talent. ;-)

Daylight! just spotted the top of an orange plastic bag. Headin' out to grab my Washington Post. Reading time. Let the adventure begin! :)

Only 9" here in North Bethesda This truly warms a Buffalonian's heart. :) Welcome to a replay of my childhood weather. Fun! Fun! Fun! :-D

When it's slippery, they're fast. When it's just snow-covered and not slippery, they're slow. Exasperating! So nice to be safe at home :-D

Howdy! Safe and sound at home but the ride from Tysons was over 1.5 hours. Amazingly silly drivers out there. Clearly NOT Buffalo-trained

Just finished a great PT session in DC with Emily Jeter and Tidiane Zerbo. Definitely worth the trip on the Red Line to Farragut North. :)

I am incredibly grateful that I took my driving test in Buffalo during a blizzard. 6-8" is a dusting. Relax. It's a little snow. No biggie.

It's "lights out" at the Vogelmann Rock Creek Compound. Now, if only the deer would also go to sleep, i could really rest easy. ;)

Having a rollicking good time with @DrDavidParker on FB and Twitter tonight. A great healer and a whole lotta fun! :-D

Stuck in Alexandria post office with many holiday pkg senders. Quickly moving now despite high volume :-)

Twas a week before Xmas and I have to tell that the traffic on the Pike is much worse than hell! :-(

Pulling out what little hair remains over this "insurance care reform" legislation. Atrocious display of inflated egos holding us hostage.

Although I find myself often enjoying the waning moments of 2009, I cannot wait for 2010 to get here! Bring it on! :)

Reflecting upon wonderful people whom I've met this year (online n IRL) Realizing tremendous difference they have made in such a short time.

Contemplating my escape from the dungeon of the Death Star as the New Year approaches. This requires a complete revision of my life plan. ;)

Leaving Dr. Singer's chiro office in PG County for the comfy confines of my North Bethesda Rock Creek Park Retreat. Please stay away Bambi :)

Comtemplating a complete make-over for my website: http://ping.fm/vjmWX and http://DrVogelmann.com Wish me luck! ;-)

Great news from Dr. Murphy, my retina guy! Eye is dry, no leaky blood vessels, good pigmentation. Waiting for the dilation to wear off. ;)

Life often presents some fascinating twists and turns. We never really know the ultimate outcome but the journey can be adventurous and fun

Winding down after a very long day. Looking forward to seeing my retina specialist tomorrow to show him how wonderful my peepers are. ;-)

Suddenly realizing the truth of the statement that most accidents happen close to home. Dropped electric can opener on big toe. Ouch!!! :-(

Organizing my life with a very early spring cleaning. :) That which is no longer useful being tossed to make room for more abundant life :)

Here @ Dr. O'Loughlin office for my post-PT adjustment. Avalon Chiropractic is my home away from home. :-)

Playing with Google maps and other fun marketing stuff. Great fun on a Thursday night. :) PT @ 8 am tomorrow! Time for my beauty sleep. ;)

Finishing up shoulder PT & headin' to Alexandria off. for an entertaining afternoon of patient care. I know every pothole on the Beltway :)

If you were to be granted three wishes today, what would they be? Would you use them to fulfill your heart's desire?

Why is it that Americans most always define a person as what they do for a living rather than who they are as a person? Not so when abroad.

Just finishing up a Q&A marketing call and enjoying one of my three remaining @Sisarina cookies. You Glee partygoers are in for a treat. :)

Heading out the door to the PG County office for afternoon patients. First time back in Camp Springs without the sling. Wish me luck! ;-)

OMG! There's a hole in the Firewall that allows the use of Twitter in Lord Vader's office. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning! :)

Even though because of my recent shoulder surgery, the skiing season is a bust, I still love seeing the snow. Only missing a fireplace. ;)

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane. ~ Marcus Aurelius

Reflecting upon how grateful I am to have such good friends who are truly generous and kind. They help to make every day brighter. Thanks! :)

Absolutely amazing walking outside. Slippery spots but sunshine is great for fighting Seasonal Affective Disorder. New video coming soon. :)

Outdoor worship is often the best worship. Pray with your feet moving!!! :)

Wow! Just had Park Police officer knock at my door investigating a possible shooting in Rock Creek Park. I didn't hear a thing. Lights Out!

Listening to program on healing properties of essential oils. Great stuff for helping people get natural pain relief as fast as possible. :)

Into every life a little rain must fall as well as snow, sleet and the occasional tornado. Be happy today regardless of your circumstances.

"There comes a time to let things go, when all is said and done. To bury the past, embrace the now, and seek to know the One." ~ Me

Finishing up Part 3 of the LOTR trilogy Once again, books so clearly better. The most important nation in the world IS the Imagination! :)

Smiling at the growing number of people in the grocery store doing their usual pre-snow panic buying. Helps to come from Buffalo, NY :)

Ha! It's official! I am liberated from my sling!!! Need to celebrate! 8 more weeeks of PT however. Sounds like groundhog day. C my shadow

Continued waiting in the exam room for the Big Kahuna to show up. Thank God for a signal. :-)

Still waiting in the waiting room for the call to come to see the doctor. Why did I rush here to be on time? Customer service, anyone? ;-)

Heading down to Arlington to have my orthopedic surgeon re-evaluate my left shoulder and, hopefully, make changes to my rehab plan. Fun! ;)

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.

Heading out to rendezvous with Nury to bring her some of her things left behind after yesterday's abrupt termination. Bittersweet meeting.

A bit lonely in the Alexandria office today without Nury present. This is going to require some real adaptation...

Just finished an amazing local search webinar with Ben Cummings! Uber SEO info and an amazing plan of attack. Glad he's on MY side ;)

Realizing that losing a stellar coworker is like losing a close family member. Will miss her smiles & laughter. One of my fav people gone :(

Leaving the PG County office after happy patients have gone. Heading back to Bethesda for telephone fun with @Sisarina. :)

Contemplating how a fast friendship is it's own little miracle. :-)

Reflecting back upon @Sisarina office patch 'n paint project and "blue room" buddy @themamateresa Kinda like a barn raisin' w/o the barn :)

Contemplating my next iHealth Radio show topics and guests. Check out the first show @ http://ping.fm/cp1RG Enjoy! :)

Still recovering from combo of drywall dust and "cinematic hangover" - Watched LOTR 2 'til 2:30 am. Silly Doctor! :-)

Hanging out at the Kennedy compound after dinner and a lively series of games. What a great family! Perfect addition to Thanksgiving weekend

Survived the PT marathon today. Heading out to Andrews AFB area for another fun afternoon of patients. A little food can improve my mood :)

Great BagelTweetup today with @putitaway @sisarina @dbmc @helfphoto @marybealladler @themamateresa @swirlyfoot Can't wait for the next 1 :)

Note to self: Never believe @Sisarina when she tells you that your car won't fall off the shoulder of a road in Behesda. :-)

BagelTweetup this am with a lively group of Social Media Mavens Great way to kick off the day just before shoulder PT bootcamp. :-)

You know you must be doing something well when other chiropractors use your name as one of their video keywords. Ha! Priceless! :-)

Insomnia resulted in my snagging BethesdaChiro as another Twitter moniker though I'm in North Bethesda :-) Social Media OCD?! U b da judge

Slogging through patient notes while wishing I was shooting or editing videos. Work1st - Fun work 2nd. :-)

Shoulder a bit sore this am but ready to begin another adventurous day! :-)

Just finished the great flooring adventure with @Sisarina. Baltimore, Bethesda, @ChefTony, Georgetown n back. A night to remember. :-)

Headin' out to what may turn out to be a brutal PT rehab session. Gotta get my left shoulder back in shape to drop the "one-armed chiro" ID

Finally leaving the Death Star. :-)

Great news from the police state! The firewall has a hole! Kinda like a hole in the Berlin wall. Now to keep it under wraps. Shhhhh... ;-)

Lord Vader, my Virginia employer, has disabled gmail, yahoo, FB and Twitter. Now living in police state. Like China or Iran :( Thanks iPhone

Just finished a wonderful radio show on "Stress Eating" with nutritionist, Monika Klein. Listen to a replay here: http://ping.fm/mRtBg

My First-Ever Radio show starting @ 5 Eastern/2 Pacific. "Stress Eating" with reknown nutritionist Monika Klein http://ping.fm/T4xCZ :)

Hear your body talk. Always listen to the messages that your body is sending you instead of checking your body's answering machine yearly :)

Here's a little song to energize you on a drizzly Saturday afternoon: http://tinyurl.com/ygsf3sh Enjoy and keep movin'.... :-D

Coming down off yesterday's adrenalin overload. Relieved to realize that some small measure of justice was achieved in our court system. :)

Great morning @ DCTweetup. Plenty of goodies, talk, n car wash. The "Shine n Dine" was a great success - magical too. ;-) Thanks y'all!

Wishing my youngest brother, Stefan, the happiest, healthiest and best birthday ever! Nothing like having an "1111" relative. Holiday Bday

Just finished posting three new health videos on YouTube. Check out my YouTube Channel: http://ping.fm/vcVwI Enjoy!

At the Syracuse airport with the friendliest TSA staff I have ever encountered. Courtesy and security are not mutually exclusive. :-)

Conversing with my sister about life as the three dogs prepare to attack the local cub scouts who are collecting for the food bank. Fun!! :)

5 kids + remote control monster truck + lg piles of leaves = Pulaski Pandamonium. :). Time for soup and sandwiches as well as piano practice

Today's adventure in Pulaski,NY includes seeing how well a one-armed chiropractor can rake leaves. Why are the blowers in storage in SYR?!?

Arrived in Syracuse to gather with the Vogelmann clan for out Autumnal Harvest Dinner - half way btwn Canadian and American Thanksgiving :)

Contemplating the wisdom and insights that can be gained from human illness. How the process of recovery is an optimal time for renewal. :-)

Appropriate for H1N1 ("swine flu") scare. Ingredients correct. Think carefully about your health care options. http://tinyurl.com/yke55rg

Got my first-ever testimonial/review from a patient yesterday. Very humbling and quite amazing. Who knew?! :-) http://bit.ly/1gd8a6

Howdy everyone! My chiropractic blog site is up and running: http://DrVogelmann.com It's a work in progress but stay tuned. :-)

"In the Land of Zero Arms, the one-armed chiropractor is king!" Paraphrased for situational necessity. Back in swing of things again! ;-)

Yesterday's chiropractic return to the office was like doing 0-90 in 2.3 seconds! There's a lot you can do with one working arm. :-)

Just successfully (with some modifications) adjusted two patients at the home office. A one-armed chiropractor can work!!! :-)

Morning wow: Watch Bave Circus on Vimeo! http://ping.fm/sEm2z Extraordinarily entertaining 4 min video. Enjoy! :-)

Exploring Vimeo.com video site. This is pretty amazing stuff. A welcome relief from using the TrafficGeyser site. It's a great day to be shooting! Ciao! ;-)

Well most of today has been spend working on my chiropractic book project as well as shooting, editing and uploading two videos on nutrition for quick recovery from surgery. Check 'em out on YouTube, Viddler, Vimeo, Facebook, Twitter or a host of other sites that I really can't remember right now. :-) Bed time!!

It's a Frisky Friday here in our nation's capital! :) Check out my distant cousin's music site: iLike.com/artist/Ingo+Vogelmann He's great!

3 metal anchors in my shoulder holding posterior cartilage in place. More healing time nec. So much for skydiving and yoga this month. ;-)

The patient reports that he is supposed to wear the sling until at least Oct. 26th! The surgery was more extensive than originally thought.

So excited! Sutures (aka "stiches") come out today @ Dr. Lovallo's office in Arlington. Then onto some serious rehab/strength training. :-)

Great performance @ Kennedy Ctr last night! Pilobolis showed amazing strength and grace. After-show Q&A was revealing and a lot of fun! :-)

Only snag in last night's solo flight was the Metro ride. Way too much pushing and shoving. Since when did compassion go out of fashion?

One-armed doc spreading his wings to head to Kennedy Ctr via Metro. The sling is merely a fashion stmt and a warning: Keep your distance! :)

"All men should try to learn before they die, what they are funning from, and to, and why." - James Thurber Including power walks? ;-)

Our genetic programming can influence our daily behaviors. Ex. The academic DNA resisted walking until the athletic heritage took over. :-)

Today's 57-min sling-adorned power walk - took a wrong turn into the Convent area of Holy Cross. Wonder what the sisters were up to this am?

"Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment." - Ralph Waldo Emerson Experiment ON!!! :-)

Who knew that learning social media could be simultaneously so much work and so much fun! Off to join great Ken McArthur webinar. :-)

Amusing and very creative. Guaranteed to bring a big smile to your face. This makes convalescing almost fun! ;-) http://tinyurl.com/cwzmz4

"Relationships are always relevant" - Anonymous Words to live by! :-)

BTW, lots of ginger, tumeric, magnesium, calcium, plus herbal goodies like boswellia have generally done a great job at shoulder pain relief

Successfully drove today to get my chiropractic adjustment. Still haven't taken any meds today but with throbbing, my will is weakening. :)

Just created my first blog!! It's clearly a work in progress so please be kind. :-) http://DrVogelmann.com Gotta lot of work to do on it!

As I sit here drinking my UltraInflamX, I am reminded why we are such a nutritionally-challenged nation. Click this link: http://ping.fm/OjgcL

Having skipped the pain-reliever just to prove how tough he is, the patient now realizes the foolishness of his decision. :-( Hmmm...

Recuperating today from yesterday's shoulder surgery. So nice to be blessed with caring friends who feed my tummy and my spirit. Thanks! :)

9/11 Remembered

September 11, 1993 - my toast (which was never delivered to the reception crowd) - "Stefan and Arlyn. Today you have vowed to honor and cherish each other in sickness and in health... and if ever an emergency should arise, you need only to remember today's date: 911." Congratulations to the Massachusetts Vogelmanns on their 16th wedding anniversary! May you have many, many more happy and healthy years ahead! :-)

Focusing on sleep in with the hope that the late night Starbucks mocha will let me rest. Memo to self: next time, decalf! :) Yes, that's "DECALF" - no drug and no lactose! :-)

TGIM! "Thank God it's Monday!" I know, it's hard to believe this statement but I've been looking forward to today. "Fun is Good!" ;-)

Up @ crack of dawn for unknown reason. Am I being infected by EMS (early morning syndrome) or are "sunrise services" part of my future? :)

"Fun is good." ~ Dr. Suess :-)

Massage Therapist Search

Just finished a nearly 3 hour meeting with an extraordinary massage therapist. We had such rapport that I almost felt we were related. :-)

Website and Video Fun :)

Hi there everyone!

Dr. Vogelmann here again. I have FINALLY managed to post a new and improved video on my YouTube account, "myhealthexpert". It took a little doing with learning new software but I think that the effect is worth it.

Please let me know what you think!

Dr. V.

Check out my new YouTube Video

Hi,

I just posted my first YouTube video under "Rockville Chiropractor". My YouTube channel is "myhealthexpert" and you can also find me under "Rockville Chiropractor Vogelmann". It's my first attempt so please be kind. YouTube's QuickCapture software appears to be malfunctioning because the audio and video just don't synch up. As a result, according to my yougest brother, Stefan, it appears like a broadcast from the Apollo 11 moonlanding. :) Hopefully, this problem will be solved by a replacement video in the not-too-distant-future.

Stay tuned. I have another 4 videos in the works.

Cheers,

Dr. V.

My Health Video Experiment

OK folks,

I'm here again in the midst of a big social networking experiment involving posting YouTube, Viddler, and other such videos on chiropractic health care and the various types of conditions that I treat in Rockville and Alexandria. I just reposted my first video using Rockville in the title and it did seem to help launch the YouTube video several pages up. Still need to make it to page one on Google but I will keep trying with an entire video series. Wish me luck!

My very best to you all!

Dr. V.

Stefan Vogelmann Dot Com?

OK... I've been following StefanVogelmann.com with great anticipation and now with great disappointment. When will we see new photos, new insights, new rants, and new rave reviews of all of Stefan's favorite things? Even his Twitter account is relatively "twitless". :) Please give us the juicy details of life on the South Shore. I'm quivering in anticipation!
