Ok, I'll say "howdy" with morning cup of coffee in hand, here on a rainy and wonderfully cool morning in New Orleans.

I'm Jim, a Family Doc in New Orleans, fixing to end my 9-year tenure on faculty at Tulane Univ. in the family medicine department and join my beautiful and talented wife, Patty, in the practice she has built solo (with some "back office" help from yours truly) over the last 6 years. I'll be plugging in AC to our new office network in the next couple of weeks and will be back here with lots of questions, I'm sure.

We love New Orleans. Y'all come on down and spend some money on your next vacation and we'd love to show you around. Better hurry... hurricane season starts in less than 30 days!

I'm noticing a lot of Jeep (?) banter going on around here. What is that? Now I can appreciate a love of a particular make/model of automobile, but a jeep? C'mon guys.

Behold Gertrude, a true classic: (and you have to say her name with a German accent like Sgt. Schultz on Hogan's Heroes: "Ger-TROOoood-eh")

Gertrude was born the same year as me: 1967
