I spent the entire year slogging to school under a veil of less than ripe physical condition only to be presented with, at the end of the school year, a bright, shiny: "Cretificate of Perfect Attendance." They stopped the practice of handing out baseball duckets without notifying the general student population. Aparently they had forgotten the stunning appeal of Ron Karkovice.

You continue to amaze me Dr. Joe. I watched Maddux 2 or 3 hit the Rockies in the final game before the 1994 strike at Mile High and believe he had 3 hits, including a 2 RBI triple.

I started to dread the travel portion of work, until I decided to get pro-active and load my brief case up with every iaginable preventative or cure-all I could think of. Pepto-Bismol caplets, Benadryl, naprosen (for the knee inflammation), Visene, bottled water (own a big briefcase), NyQuil, etc etc. I used to have work contemporaries come up to me all the time if they had any problems, because they all knew my briefcase was loaded. And I, like you Joe, was a never sick, no headaches, never miss school kind of guy---travel just always used to kick my keister---but the parties at the end of the day somehow made the other crap worthwhile--that's all I really miss about those days really. It's way more rewarding to work from home and raise your son fulltime and watch him grow up than be a cog in a corporate kiss-ass contest where you give your employers ideas that make them millions of dollars and not even get a thank you, let alone a raise.
