Sorry to hear that your progress seems to be slowing. I was thinking about you Tuesday night. It doesnt seem possible that it has been four years.

Every four years, a presidential election will be quite the reminder. Probably for lots of people.

Hoping for the best.

I think I have been fortunate enough to have bypassed many "worsts," and thanks. It is a bit unfortunate that the economy is so sucky right now.

The more snark you bring, the more you will be back to normal. And direct it at Hank, he really misses that.

Re: Stuck on Repeats
I realize this is not snarky, but I am looking for ideas for gifts for a male sophomore in HS (porn or similar would not be appropriate, though possibly appreciated) and another male about 4 years younger (so might not even want porn or similar). They are both scary smart.

Price range and general areas of interest?
I am pretty sure lunch with Hank is out of your price range, though.

Do they have video game systems? If so, and it's Xbox, Halo 4.
Assassin's Creed 3. Other games I can't name. |

Re: Stuck on Repeats
I just realized "Summer Olympics" is Northern-centric. Southern Hemisphere athletes are competing outside their natural cycles. Has any truly great Olympian come from a true Southern country (not equatorial)?

Dunno but this guy could win a broad jump if you got him to focus. (SFW as if that matters any more).

Hello? Ian Thorpe and tons of other Aussie swimmers off the top of my head.
I think at that elite level, they have competitions throughout the year and these days many of them train elsewhere so it's not a geographic/natural cycle issue. |

There's also not a whole lot of non-equitorial southern hemisphere countries. Not sure where you set the line, but you have southern Pacific, southern Africa, and some portion of South America. Not a lot of wealth there to begin with in many of those places that would support training, and not massive populations.
