Such is life right now, waaaay too busy, and not enough time to attend to fun projects like the blog.

Always, ALWAYS check the "To" line...

ARRGGGGHH!! Due to what I would like to think of as a technical problem, but possibly my misunderstanding of our blog system, I just discovered a whole batch of comments that have been made, to which I never replied. My apologies to all who have taken the time to read my blog, and who have been so wonderful in contributing feedback. Now that I have identified the problem, such oversight will not happen again. My best to all, and my sincere apologies!

Blah. I was right, I didn't get the job, or the living situation that I wanted (see last post). I was in a bike wreck racing and I haven't been able to ride for two weeks. I think not riding is causing bad chemicals to float around in my brain.

Long time since my last entry--have been hard at work, feeling a bit overwhelmed with all of my latest projects but hanging in there.

Finally, a recent photo! I picked up 3rd place at Ross' Epic Hill Climb. This was a great event that was a fundraiser for Ross Dillon, who at the age of 25 was hit by a car going 50mph while he was riding his bike. He is alive, and is making an amazing recovery, as he started his journey in a vegetative state. Five years later he can stand with support for short periods, and is beginning to speak in sentences. He and his family are so brave and strong, but it takes a lot of money to give Ross the therapy and care he needs, so the Hill Climb was a USA Cycling sanctioned event that served as a fundraiser for the family. They didn't fool around with the "Epic" aspect--18 mile ride, 7 miles flat, then 11 miles uphill, gaining about 1000 feet in the last mile! BRUTAL!! But worth it.

I just got back from the Pediatric Academic Societies conference, where I gave my very first presentation.

IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME? My most recent disturbing experience (one in a long line of "disturbing experiences" I have had lately, including a poltergeist that seems to live in my car's turn signals, my neighbor being arrested, and the mysterious disappearance of my Starbucks card and iPod headphones, *both* of which are totally crucial to my survival), came this evening.
