Every time I do an Arthrosurface Hemicap, I encourage the residents to watch this movie. It's not the same as seeing it when you're seven but I hope they are still a little terrified.

Happy Jackie Robinson Day.

It's the day when #MLB celebrates the most significant event in the history of baseball.

A photo of the sports section article for the Detroit Free Press with an article about Jackie Jobe's 6 shutout in I ha to win his first MLB game.

I still get a physical newspaper on Sundays.

My favorite part is giving them to players who look at you like "what is this thing you handed me?"

I tell them their parents will want to keep it.

Congrats, Jackson Jobe, on your first MLB win.

Your mom will have this forever.

The guy who did this awesome shoe shine at the MSP airport just asked me out of the blue if I have ever heard of "Harrison Bergeron."

It's one of my favorite short stories.

The world is an incredible place.

For the first time in nearly 15 years there are no Teslas in our driveway.

Today we sold her Model X and last week we sold my Model S.

A Macan EV and a Polestar 3 have upgraded our electric vehicle stable.

So glad to have much better EV choices than when I had to compromise to drive electric.

A selfie of me on a sunny day wearing a Detroit Tigers Old English D white polo and the 2025 Orange spring training cap.

I got to walk the grounds today.

It was nice and sunny so I bummed a new cap!

This should be the next book you read.

Me wearing a red turtleneck and vintage Harris Tweed jacket with a text that says "This is 2° air temps either with no breeze and a vintage Harris Tweed." A cartoon from today's paper Wumo. It's a single panel of four people at a table with coffee mugs in front of them. "And you're an expert in sociology?" one asks. 

"Actually, no. I just wear tweed and a turtleneck so everyone thinks so."

It fits because half of shoulder surgery is sociology.

Two consecutive texts with my wife.

Me bragging about my cool warm sports coat and her sharing the morning comics today!

My gray-bearded face with the background of Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland, FL.

So excited to be headed back down to Lakeland to do physicals on position players. Pitchers and catchers reported last week.

Almost ready to let the games begin!

Nice work on this. These take patience and an eye for the tear pattern. Looks wonderful!

Jon Braman and MaC Hogan standing together. Mac is wearing one of his awesome signature bow ties.

Dr. MaCalus Hogan came to Henry Ford as our Grand Rounds Speaker and gave an amazing talk!

It is always so fun connecting with great leaders who happen to be great friends.

The dawn of understanding once the datapoints are added is rewarding.

(FYI the article describes the test for AC pathology & superior labral tears).

Not because it's punitive but because it's foundational.

I have sentinel articles on my server ready to share. Reading the article & sharing with me is the "homework."
