I'm thoroughly enjoying and learning lots from
expertly crafted by former fellow and great friend, Tony Romeo. 
All in all, a very special time.
This is a terrific learning experience for orthopaedic surgeons and PAs of all levels of experience - debutants to masters.
In addition to lots of great times with the Romeos, I had meaningful exchanges with many fellow learners, including Rachel Frank, Chris Ahmad, Julie Bishop, and Michael Amini, past fellows and residents, and other friends. I also had the opportunity to share some of my thoughts on management of shoulder infections, the magic of concavity compression in stabilizing the shoulder, the importance (or lack thereof) of correcting glenoid version to <15 degrees, and Green Orthopaedics (the art and science of devoting more money only when it benefits the patient in terms of comfort, function and safety).
The afternoons gave some time for me to take my camera for walks.
Some of the results are shown below.
Common Myna
Hawaiian Goose
Humpback Whale
Monk Seal Pup
Pacific Golden Plover
Red Crested Cardinal
Warbling White Eye
Western Cattle Egret
