Don't ask him to show you how to ride some tricky piece of trail because he'll do something that will make you crack up so hard you'll fall off your bike.

I bet he pulls the same tricks when drawing blood. I've seen him do it with his children just to get them to behave. So far, Dad is still smarter than his children -- and your tech is smarter than you.

And, my shot is only 30 mcg.

He sounds great!

I guess mcg is the unit. Mine's 80 - but hey, I'm bigger! I think my marg should be proportionately bigger next week, as well....

Still, none of it is great - but there are folks who endure a lot more then we do, and we can still ride our bikes (well, I can't, but I'm healthy enough to exercise vigorously - you get my point). My happy news of the day is one of my TNT leukemia patient honorees is now able to come out of his isolation, is feeling better (after MONTHS of not being able to do anything he can now walk outside) and we're having dinner with him next week!! I really was afraid we were going to lose him.
