Personal Journal of Margie Howser, M.D.

I have recently discovered Doogie Howser (thanks to Cassie), and I am speedily working through season one. I can't believe that have not seen this show before!! Where was I in the early 90s? Mars?! Well, the martians probably even have Doogie Howser!

So my blog was named as such by my very dear non-medical friends and boyfriend. So I figured I owed it to Doogie to watch his work and get to know the show.

As I sit here...(thoughtful, reflective pause)...and type 10 words an hour I am realizing the not so many parallels between our lives:

1. I am not 16 and not a resident yet. While, yes, I have traditionally been the youngest person in my grade or class level at school, I can no longer claim as much. There is a 21 year old in our class who beats me out by at least 10 months if she is still 21.

2. Luckily, I do not have Vinnie to continually get me in trouble in every aspect of my life. I do however have some terrific friends that throughly enjoy a little Fondude (no that is not misspelled) but who support what I would do and try not to mess it up for me.

3. I don't still live at home, but that seems like a nice option when I think about how much I pay in rent. These rent checks are still smarting a little when I think about how much rent used to be in good ol' Eugene.

4. But we both are super cool and super smart (Ha! super stretch on that one!)

So in conclusion, although I am finding a lot of differences so far, at least Doogie and I share the introspective moment to sit and reflect on our day. So here is my best attempt.

Don't listen to her, Craig-- she'll OD you on cough medicine.

P.S. Love the Doogie-style entry at the end of your post! It seems you and Doogie do have a lot in common... :)

I did that post just for you and Cassie and while I was writing it, I did sit back, hand on chin, and look thoughtful, although it is awfully hard to capture that in the written word.
