My wife's brain kicks ass.
Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. For the last several months, my wife has been studying like mad for a very important exam,...her "boards" I'll call it. She's been on the computer taking on-line practice tests nearly every night for the last 3 weeks. Her studying has been steadily increasing in severity clearly working towards a mental peak for the day of her exam, which was yesterday. And with as much relief as with delight,....she has PASSED! As of yesterday, her mind was bristling and fit to burst with as much information as any brain can manage to digest. I'm sure that most of the info. has been categorized, memory stamped, and filed away as "crap you'll probably never need to access in your professional career".
Cramming is an interesting phenomenon. You realy don't acquire the studied info...in fact most of it is held for immediate acquisition only for a brief period, some 4 hours, by some research estimates. Most will know that after cramming and taking an exam, the information is gone....simply lost.
As for other matters, work is work,...alot of very disturbed folks, extremely sad predicaments, stories of triumph and recovery, tragedy and trauma, and public health policy politics. And it never ceases to amaze me how many times every week I come across a patient's story that has me scrunching my face in disbelief....life in the "Naked City" they say.
Also, I've read on another blog about my old Japanese Strat. My buddy Steve asked to borrow it. Little did I know he meant to take it apart and rebuild the damn thing. I'm soo looking forward to playing it again cause he actually worked to get it properly intonated! Number one, I didn't think it was possible (not to mention I had no idea how to do that) and number two, I've had the guitar for over 20 years and it's NEVER been intonated. He mentioned; cleaning the frets of 20 years of sweat and finger goo, fixing the locking neck (it's been snapping strings instead of keeping them locked in tune), and adjusted the Floyd Rose floating tremelo so it actually floats! I'm jacked to say the least...and I'm totally grateful for all his work. I'm still coveting his American Strat Plus....I want one bad.
So thats it for now, gotta go to a meeting that I just realized is in 3 minutes and I still have to drive across the city to get there...ARGH!
