He Will Rock You

Last night was the intern graduation party at the Habu Pit. It's a great accomplishment for the Japanese interns to complete a year of training at the Naval Hospital Okinawa. This party is the way to celebrate their success. The interns put together an amazing program. There were many stars of the evening, the interns themselves as well as some of the doctors who took part in the evenings entertainment. Greg was one of those doctors, he reprised his halloween costume and strutted his stuff as Freddie Mercury. In front of his superiors, fellow physicians and coworkers he sang out his heart in a karaoke version of We Will Rock You. It was truly an inspiring piece of work. My personal favorite was the air guitar solo at the end of the song. The whole room erupted in applause at his arrival and sang and cheered with him until he skidded off stage at the end of his performance. It was hard to top such a magnificent performance but the interns turned in a stellar video which featured their version of the USNH news. The pinnacle of the video was the hospital's version of the Thriller video starring many of the hospital staff including the CO and XO of the hospital dancing like the zombies in the video. It was fantastic to watch.
After the party we went out to karaoke. It was the first time Greg and I have ever karaoked together and I must say we make a great team. I had such a good time singing with all our friends, we even heard and maybe tried to sing a long with a few Japanese songs. Although I wasn't able to stay out all that late since we had a babysitter at home I did manage to sing a few songs, have a peach soda and some french fries before I had to head back to get Gabriella. Greg of course kept the party going to the wee hours of the morning.
