Hello friends and family of Bill Blackley:

After nearly 35 years practicing medicine, Bill has decided to hang up his stethoscope and throw himself into "retirement" -- though some folks think Bill will never retire -- he is certain to remain active in many communities in North Carolina and beyond.

This blog is for old friends and new, co-workers, patients, musicians, artists, Boy Scouts, environmental activists, Tarheel basketball fans, family, and all who would like to share a word of congratulations, thanks, a silly Bill story, or a celebration for his years of contribution to his patients, and his community.

Please join us in raising a virtual toast to Bill!

Shhhhhh.... this is a secret! We'll unveil the blog with your messages to him in mid-June, but posts are welcome indefinitely.

To share a message, funny Bill memory, toast or other thoughts, email your post to me (Molly) at blackley@uw.edu, and I will post for you (please include your name, and how you know Bill).

Thanks for joining in the fun! With love and thanks,
Sandie... Molly, Ben, and Will Jackson...Seth, Brae and Davis Blackley

Bill, you have been a true inspiration in your fight against biomass incineration. Those of us in Duplin and Sampson Counties are grateful for your hard work and diligence. While I'm certain that you've touched many lives through your medical practice, you may never know all the lives you've touched by your environmental activism. Keep up the good fight. It's been a pleasure to have met you and worked with you. Best wishes to you and your family. Have a great retirment!

    Subject: Cojones del toro

    A big Tarheel stopped at a restaurant during a day roaming in Yadkinville.
     
    While sipping his mojito, he noticed a sizzling, scrumptious looking platter being served at the next table. Not only did it look good, the smell was wonderful.
     
    He asked the waiter, 'What is that you just served?'
     
    The waiter replied, 'Ah senor, you have excellent taste!
 Those are called Cojones del Toro, bull's testicles, from the bull fight this morning.  A delicacy!'
     
    The Tarheel said, 'What the heck, bring me an order.'
     
    The waiter replied, 'I am so sorry Señor. There is only one serving per day because there is only one bull fight each morning.
    If you come early and place your order, we will be sure to save you this delicacy.'
     
     The next morning, the Tarheel returned, placed his order, and that evening was served the one and only special delicacy of the day. ,
    Inspecting his platter after a few bites, he called to the waiter and said, 'These are delicious, but they are much, much smaller than the ones I saw you serve yesterday.'
     
     The waiter shrugged his shoulders and replied, 'Si, Señor. Sometimes the bull wins!”
