I'm Not a Doctor, But I Play One on DB

[mindfull]

SP - I've been following along your sitch for some time, and don't think I've ever posted to you until now. You seem like one cool DUDE!

First of all, I have NO words of wisdom, as I'm not an exemplary DB'er, but "I attempt to play one in RL!"

What I do offer, after reading your "list" is the following:

-- I played D1 tennis, gave it up for years, took it up again after my S9 was born (to lose the weight). I don't know your level of intensity, but I ended up with a torn bicep, and a NICE surgery that took 18 months to recover from! So, be careful, if you're ANYTHING like me, and go wrecklessly into everything with a vengence! I don't know how old you are, but I was 33, and I guess we're just not made to act that way as we "age" a little!

-- Love the shopping! Way to go!

-- I have a dream to write a book. I have no topic! Another, way to go!

-- Most importantly, researching CANCER TREATMENTS... I work in the drug discovery/pharmaceutical industry, automating research labs (AT such places as Memorial-Sloan Kettering, Duke, Mayo, etc...). I know the heads of many of these labs that get THE cash for bleeding/leading edge technologies. I've helped a lot of friends. Not sure how, but if I can offer any insight, please don't hesitate to ask.

Keep your chin up!
