I googled pencil drawings and ended up here. I have to say, I have not been so entertained for such a long time, I have also not touched a pencil for 30 yrs. I thank you for the sharing of fun and adventure and the returning desire to pick up a pencil.

Hi Kaye–

I’m glad you found the site and enjoyed it. I hope you stick around.

Cheers–

Hello Dr.
I’m not familiar with your work, but I’m interested in good health and nutrition, so I may return to see what you have to say. I came across your blog while searching for bullfighting blogs.
I’m an ardent fan of bullfighting a hope to some day attend a week long toreo class at the Bullfight School of Tauromachy in San Diego, CA. Hopefully, I’ll start saving soon.
At the age of 13 I wanted to be a torero, but I regret having obeyed my mom and never a actually tried the art. I was at the right age and in the right place at the time-I should have gone for it! I admire your courage to actually make it to Pamplona and participate in the run! Ole!
You know, there are some good faenas to view at Youtube.com. Just type in matadors name or corrida or other related term. Toreo is fun, exciting, and moving when it’s all done well, clean, and professional.
I’ve seen the Manolete movie trailer. It looks good.
J.E.

Hi J.E.–

Good luck in your quest.� If you attend the school in San Diego please write and let me know how it was.

I’ll hit the bullfight videos on YouTube.� Thanks for the tip.

Love that you took the time to tell us a bit about yourself and not let the ball drop. Good choice in deciding to go to medical school.

You are such a go getter and thank goodness for it!

Thanks, Meredith–

I don’t know about the choice.� I could be kicked back on a nice dive boat somewhere exotic eating my fill of fresh seafood.

Wow, Now we see the benefits of being able to use both sides of the brain. Your artistry is quite impressive. It reminds me of an OB-GYN friend of mine. Of course, he is highly regarded by the medical field but he is also quite a jazz musician. I am glad that you were tagged so that we can see other sides of Dr. Eades. BTW, I saw your and Mary's cooking show, Low CarbRX, early this morning. I was quite surprised. Is it new? Hi Mary-- Thanks for the kind words about the art. MD and I do have a cooking show on Create Network and on the PBS HD network.� We've taped 26 episodes, all of which will run on both of these networks in 2007. Best-- MRE�

DEAR MIKE

I AM WRITING FROM SPAIN, IN FACT I LIVE TWENTY KILOMETERS FROM THE PLACE WHERE MANOLETE WAS GORED TO DEATH, LINARES.

MY FATHER IN LAW, 93 YEARS OLD, WAS SITTING AT THE ARENA THAT HOT AUGUST AFTERNOON.

NEVER FORGOT IT

REGARDS

JUAN CARLOS

Hola Juan Carlos–

I would love to hear your father-in-law’s stories from that day.� I’m sure the movie will be shown in Spain.� See if your father-in-law is up to seeing it, then let me know how it was compared to his memory.

Thanks for writing.

Great post! Wonderful drawings!!

I laughed reading this….you have a way with words that i envy!! I’ve also wished to be, but am not, an artist….or a singer….or musician.

You can have the diving (no way! Phobia) and the bull running. I’m not sure how I feel about bullfighting…but I’ve always been facinated by it.

Thanks for all the great posts!!

Oh yea….how about a drawing of MD from a picture?? LOL

Hi Cindy–

MD says she’s too young for her face to have developed the character required for one of my drawings.

Thanks for the kind words.

Great drawing–we low carbers are so talented as well as smart.

I have no problem with bullfighting, in fact, I think it shows real respect for the bull. Enough people continue to get maimed or killed each year to make me think the man vs bull contest is fair. The bull does win sometimes.

I think we should show as much respect as possible for the spirits that feed us.

Hi Marilyn–

Thanks for the kind words.� I feel the same way you do about the bulls.� I was a little reluctant to post my attraction to bullfighting because I thought it would bring a lot of heat down on me.� So far, everyone has been pretty accepting.

Cheers–
