Museum of Modern Art. NYC

No surgery today or this week! It'd break time!
Right now I am in an art museum at MOMA in NYC. The picture shows
Monet's Water Lillies painting which is about 20 feet long and 6 or 7
feet high.
Beautiful impressionistic reflections of sky and clouds amidst the
floating flowers.

Wow.

You can get lost in this painting.

Hope everyone is having a good week.

Spine Surgery Humor

Sometimes my staff feel that I need a little humor in the middle of
our busy clinic. Here is a rare spine surgery cartoon they shared this
afternoon! While we do straighten some mighty crooked spines, we
don't ever remove them!
