As we've been in the pandemic and working from home, it seems like I'm on zoom calls all the time. There's so much zoom and so much social media that I developed a a new Kansa state song in honor of the state of Kansas. with apologies to Dr. Brewster Higley, the author of the original Home on the Range, this poem is called zoom on the range.
Zoom zoom on the range where the virtual pictures display
where you will not be heard if your mute is incurred
and the dad gum zoom calls go all day.
How often at night when my screen is still bright,
and I look at websites from afar have I sat with eyes glazed to see videos praise
while I wish that my phone had more bars?
Oh YouTube videos sure can make some good shows
as I work with my webcam
and mics and my day is complete when I Facebook and tweet.
I just wish that my posts got more likes.
So zoom zoom on the range where the virtual pictures display
where you will not be heard if your mute is incurred,
and the dad gum zoom calls go all day.
Happy trails.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
