atothex Posted May 18, 2009 Report Posted May 18, 2009 Well, instead of running out in the hot hot sun, I just spent 2 hrs at the Berkeley 24 today. Not so attractive, that particular gym...
Hopstretch Posted May 18, 2009 Report Posted May 18, 2009 Got stuck in a traffic jam because Adam Sandler, Kevin James and Rob Schneider were filming a movie in our neighboring town's rather picturesque little white church. Will be sure to catch that!
Voltron Posted May 18, 2009 Report Posted May 18, 2009 Some Fun pictures to give you an idea of what went on. SF Gate: The 98th running of the Bay to Breakers on Sunday, May 17... (Carlos Avila Gonzalez / The Chronicle) Multimedia (image) The Roman Legion guy was running near my wife and he ran then entire race with that metal armor, shield and banner/staff thing. We saw him afterward and he is around 50 years old. Damn hot to be running in that getup. These ladies were more prepared for the heat:

Duggeh Posted May 20, 2009 Report Posted May 20, 2009 Sat my last exam ever. Went to pick up an essay. Left it behind with a complaint about unfair marking. Back tomo to see how that goes.
Duggeh Posted May 20, 2009 Report Posted May 20, 2009 I want to do an MRES next year so I want to scrape every point I can.
Duggeh Posted May 20, 2009 Report Posted May 20, 2009 Got the expected telephone call from my parents asking how the exam went. Told that grandpa is "not doing well" i.e. "he's going to die, we just don't know exactly when". Extended family gathering up. They hadn't told me so I wasn't put off my exams. So it's possible that I'll be off the radar for a bit.

HeadphoneAddict Posted May 20, 2009 Report Posted May 20, 2009 Woo hoo! I'm nearly 40 and I still have those occasional anxiety dreams where you're supposed to be taking finals and you can't find the right room. Or you realize you signed up for a completely different class than the paper you've just been handed. For some reason, I have most of those dreams during the summer when I have no school. The ones I have the most is when I dream that I have a final at 8:30 and the alarm doesnt go off and its 1:30. My dreams were always for having been signed up for a class that I never attended - either didn't know I was signed up, or forgot about it, and then realizing that I was screwed with the semester ending that day and I hadn't even shown up for the final exam either. Those dreams didn't end till I was almost 40, which was about 10 years after I finished my pediatric residency program.
Voltron Posted May 20, 2009 Report Posted May 20, 2009 I don't think Duggeh's grandpa has passed yet, Greg, but he is not well.
postjack Posted May 20, 2009 Report Posted May 20, 2009 i'll keep you and your family in my thoughts duggeh.
Salt Peanuts Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 Sorry to hear about your grandfather, Doug.
