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. :)
