Good morning

^^

Need lots of good juju.  Have a HUGE interview next Friday.  Sent me a question/topic sheet yesterday and I have lots to prepare.

Good morning all. I could tell when I first woke up this morning that my back issue was flaring up. It feels like it is just on the edge of seizing up. Days like this make me wish my dog was taller. Bending all the way down to get her leash on was painful. Then she refused to walk or go potty. This means we try all over again in a couple of hours.

L 3 - 4 have slight damage and L 5 and S 1 are bulging with impingement.

   , Ibuprofen and a muscle relaxer for breakfast.

Day 11: Vivir Reposado, 80 proof. Very nice. Strong vanilla notes.

At NC State University, there were four sophomores taking Organic Chemistry.

They did so well on all the quizzes, midterms and labs, etc., that each had an "A" so far for the semester.

These four friends were so confident, that the weekend before finals, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there. They had a great time. However, after all the hard partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Raleigh until early Monday morning.

Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find their professor after the final and explain to him why they missed it.

They explained that they had gone to UVA for the weekend with the plan to return Sunday to study, but, unfortunately, they had a flat tire on the way back, didn't have a spare, and couldn't get help for a long time. As a result, they missed the final.

The Professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day.

The guys were elated and relieved. They studied that night and went in the next day at the time the professor had told them.

He placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet, and told them to begin.

They looked at the first problem, worth 5 points. It was something simple about free radical formation. "Cool," they thought at the same time, each one in his separate room, "this is going to be easy."

Each finished the problem and then turned the page.

On the second page was written: For 95 points: Which tire?

14. Why is 'dark' spelled with a k and not c? Because you can't see in the dark.

Travel? 

I love travel.  By which I mean... I love spending time in many & varied corners of the planet.  I like to absorb it.  All.   But..... my tolerance for the actual getting there component... diminishes your on year.
