This week Aubrey and I get back together. Things have been tough lately between school, work, and just life in general. So we wanted to talk about some of the things that are helping us get through it all and that we have been enjoying. We wrap it up with some astrophysics talk courtesy of Aubrey.

Earlier this summer, I decided I needed to take control of my life. I was doing the things I needed to do, but wasn't really progressing as a human in the ways I wanted to. So I sort of made up a system of goal setting and tracking. I mentioned this to Aubrey, and she started doing it as well. So, for the last few months, we have been working on setting and keeping track of our goals and our progress as people, and thought it would be valuable to talk about.

For years, Aubrey danced. And we loved watching her dance. She has skills and grace that made it a joy to watch. But there was a darker side to it, one that we became more and more aware of the older she got. And, as you will hear, she still carries some of the marks and baggage from that experience. But ranting is part of the healing process, so this week we get to begin the path to healing from the experience that was Aubrey's time as a dancer.

This month Aubrey and I decided to just have fun with it. We dive into some of our recent media enjoyment, and talk about games, music, movies, TV and books that have been helping to get us through this crazy thing we call life.

We're back! Aubrey and Peter finally get their schedules to align to allow us to talk again. The plan is to make this a regular thing again, so we are sorry and appreciate everyone's patience. We discuss work and virtue signaling in medicine this week, and, as is often the case, Peter bags on hospital administration in the way he so often does.

Welcome to Generations: A Middle Distance podcast. Yep, that's the new name for The Middle of Medicine. We felt that, being a father/daughter duo, Generations was more accurate in conveying what we will be talking about going forward. This week, it was survival. More specifically, those little hobbies and pastimes that help us make it through the grime, muck, and suck that is real life.
