The Philly Chronicles

This is a way for Dr. Parks to survive in Philly without acute withdrawal from KSU and WEBCT. Posts from the Old World (Atlanta) are welcome.

Sorry I have been MIA

It has been a long time since I have posted anything. Much of the fall has been devoted to being with my mom and dad for my dad's last days. He was an amazing man, and it has been very sad to lose him. I have been glad to be Jewish in this process, since the Jewish tradition really gets it about mourning.

Now I am sort of getting back to real life. And of course back to wedding planning. I had a great shower in Atlanta a week ago, with mad lib vows and toasts and other silliness. I got in a trip to the zoo and way more shopping than I planned, since Delta seems to have permanently lost my bag.

To honor my dad and raise money for a good cause, I am going to do a marathon in May in Vancouver with the Team in Training program. It is a really cool program through the Leukemia Society. If you want to sponsor me, you can do that on my TOT webpage.

Let me know what is up in Atlanta! Keep in touch!
