When did you go to Lubbock? You going to TT now?

I remember in 1983 my father interviewed for Chief of Police for Lubbock, TX.  Thank Christ for rejection letters.

I love Roger Ebert's quote:

"Let's say you know the novel, you agree with Ayn Rand, you're an objectivist or a libertarian, and you've been waiting eagerly for this movie. Man, are you going to get a letdown..."  :lmfao:

Don't worry, they're all still going to jizz in their Alan Greenspan jammies and matching bedsheets.

Last year.

Isn't medical school supposed to be time-consuming?  :huh:
You definitely have less free time than in undergrad but the first year isn't too bad.

I remember in 1989 my father and mother were both offered jobs at both U Hawaii in Honalulu and NTH in Trondheim.


I blame my parents.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

In 1992, my dad was offered a VP position for a medium-sized multinational where he would have been operating out of Michigan.  Thank heavens for his foresight.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

My dad almost took a job in Pittsburgh when I was in high school.

My dad was basically ordered to transfer to Orlando when I was like 14 or 15 and he wanted to go, but my mom refused to move, so he got laid off.  I was so mad at her. :mad:

I thought Orlando was supposed to be a dump.

Shitload of amusement parks though.

You are older then I thought, presumably this would have happened in the Hadean period when the Earth and Moon where still one body.  It's a good thing you didn't go, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to get back till 1969, several Billion years later.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You presume... poorly.

That may be but... it's in Florida.  Endless summer.  I hate the winter.
