Another Blizzard hits Queens, NY
Shovelling my truck out of snow the day after yet another New York blizzard hit us in Queens, NY in Feb. 2005! That is where I was living during my many last rotations of medical school (OB/GYN, Surgery, Neurology, etc). Also seen in this photo is Sita, which is our Yellow Labrador Retriever. She was quite "busy" watching me do all the work! She is a truly terrific dog: full of personality and mischief.
I was born and raised in the Cajun Heartland of Southwestern Louisiana. Since the age of 5, I fished in freshwater rivers and bayous and hunted ducks and rabbits in our marshes and forests. In my adulthood, my interests broadened to include intense research into the US Civil War (War of Northern Aggression), as well as Bodybuilding/Weightlifting. I continue to engage in our Cajun culture through crawfishing on my family property, as well as jug fishing for catfish in local rivers. I am very good at catching bullfrogs with my bare hands late at night in our ponds, too. All of these skills, I am passing onto my son, Gabriel Luke. Moreover, I stay busy with work in the healthcare field, to support my family and take care of others in my community.
