It's almost like a family reunion in the TD these days. :)

@ school right now, finished up a journal that will be due... now I need to go look over some xrays and critique them (basically we fill out a form saying what's right and what's wrong with the positioning, what different body parts are in the pics, etc) lots o' fun. :D Was talking to a fella in my class, he rides his Soma (Doublecross?) in from Mt. Tabr area every morning. It's funny, I'd walk past his bike and admire it every morning... now I know who its owner is. :D

Kit!! Glad to "see" you, hope all is well with school and such.

So far, so good. I'm getting all good grades, have my clinicals at a really great local hospital and have class with some really cool people. :D Life is good.

Finished up my critiques, now time to feed kitties, make dinner, finish my homework and maybe have a beer.

UGGHHH. Where Brooks go to die...

"good condition" :D

Deb, the canoe race sounds fun.
It makes me sad that we hardly use our very nice canoe. Every year less and less. I only do flat water paddling, but it's not like there's a lack of places to do that around here. The bike just gets in the way.

Great to see this place hoppin' agaian:)
Meant to pop in earlier, but been working too much OT. on the other hand , I do go on vacation friday:cool:

We go every year and spend a week or two doing nothing but laying by/in the pool, riding scooters around town, eating amazing seafood, and enjoying free happy hour every night. Ahhhhhhhhhh.

Have fun in Key West! :D
I remember when I was 18 (about a hundred years ago) riding a scooter around in the Bahamas, buying a woven palm leaf hat, eating pigeon peas and chicken- what fun!

DH and I are oddly getting swamped with patent drawing work right now- looks like maybe we won't get a chance to get away anywhere for fun- just an obligatory family trip in June we don't really want to do but have to. :cool: We'll try to make it as enjoyable as we can.

But I do have my big veg garden and my beehives to tend, and that can feel like a sanctuary right in my own little neighborhood back yard. When i'm digging the soil and sowing bok choy and cucumber seeds in the sun with my bees flying around me, I feel like i'm a thousand miles away from my desk.

BSG - your yard sounds heavenly.


My SO finally got word that her position at the U will be ending in the Fall due to budget cuts (ahh the joy of being non tenure track faculty). We've been anticipating this for a couple of years and we've been working things out financially so when it happens we'll be okay. We will be able to live on my salary and I can but her on my benefits.

I'm happy for her as she's been burned out in her field for some time, I hope she'll just take some down time and rest/refocus.

You are very smart to have prepared for that possibility. She'll have time to recoup her strength and then figure out a new and better path.

That's what I'm hoping for. She's VERY driven and has never had time to just sit and contemplate the future... I hope after a couple of weeks she'll be able to settle and breathe and rest.
