Small price to pay for doing research you love, seriously. Congrats!
Will you know if the cadavers came from depressives or schizophrenics?
Saw an interesting NatGeo on fatal insomnia that involved brain dissection. SP had to stop eating his beef jerky.

Cadavers are expensive? But they're donated?!
EDIT: I guess processing and preservation and transportation, etc, all take their monetary toll, though.
RE-EDIT: It does sound like a great deal for everyone.
NOTE: Keep AZ away.
Plus the just the sheer number of cadavers, the university doesn't get that many of them to be honest.

I'm actually sending resumes out for some Texas Jobs. Colorado Springs is beautiful, but the job market is brutal, and my sister and Dad are in College Station.

I should talk the wife into a marathon since the kids are out of town.

Really hoping this stomachache lets up so I can get some sleep. It seems that Bryce and I picked up some sort of virus. Either that or we ate something that was bad. But he at least was able to get to sleep and stay asleep, so I have some hope.
Well, if it keeps bothering me I guess I'll just work on my painting some more. It's all good. :)
Either way, good night all.
