news from sha

How great that Sha has a choice of med schools. I bet there are many pre-docs who envy her that luxury. We were hoping she'd look with fond memories of her brief visits to Circle Rd and pick Upstate Med. Center: too bad.
With the Singapore Murrays due to be stateside this summer, she and Dave are bound to run into some of us. Is there a "general assembly" being planned? That's a pipe dream, I guess, unless Lake Ontario lures them away from Hawaii for their wedding.
I certainly hope to see them - and any/all of the clan.
70 degrees here today. There's hope!!!! nsm

News from Sha

Dave and I are thinking of coming east this summer (late July, early august). We'd love to see you. Is the Murray clan getting together?

I haven't decided where I'll be this fall, but leaning towards UCSF or UC Davis. The final decision will probably made in May.

Hope everyone is well.

CT kids say the darndest things

Sarah and I butted heads the other day. She has been the easiest, most agreeable kid for so many months that it really took me by surprise. It wasn't pretty and we ended up not being too happy with each other.

We finished the 'discussion' in front of the other two kids, in part because I wanted them to know that you could be mad at someone you love and work it out and then be fine afterwards.

Then I went inside a place to pick up food. I got back in the car, and everything was fine again. Sarah was joking, Elizabeth was being silly, I was being 'annoying'. Max sits there for a minute, and then says to no one "And the tension deflates like a punctured balloon. Metaphor." He never said anything else the whole time.

I laughed, the other two didn't get/hear it and then because I am annoying, I leaned over and said "Max, I love you. And it was a simile."

He misses nothing, even though he has a different prism.

Evan Waters Leads the Pack

if you check out ESPN.com's Tournament Challenge (group name UNC_SUX), you can see that our very own Evan Waters is leading 99.8% of the nation. if BC wins it all, who knows how high he may climb.

I, on the other hand, am ahead of 11.9 percent of the nation. Gone are my days of being a bit above average.

I went over to Edgar Cavelheri's for St. Paddy's Day dinner. I ate the cabbage but i didn't try the corned beef. i'm not sure i ever ate the stuff even when i did eat four legged animals.

ed's hair seemed to be an orange-ish color. i may reconsider my appoint ment to get rid of my gray hairs.

Ed and Val found out not too long ago that their mom has advanced lung cancer. They're trying to deal with that from a hemisphere away.

They say they call to Brazil quite often, for free, via Skype. if you have broadband internet at home, you can make computer-computer calls via Skype www.skype.com

i don't have internet at home so i won't be joining skype any time soon.

later on,

Madness Continues

What a weekend, if you like college basketball. I certainly watched more bb this weekend then the past years, combined.

I'm not sure who i want to win it all. i find myself cheering for the Big East - even Georgetown. If i can't hate the Hoyas, i must be getting soft in my old age. I may have to go ABD - Anyone But Duke.

Sean, I may not have commented, but i did appreciate your mascot e-mail.

Spring has sprung all over the world

Syracuse 21, light snow; Hallowell 30, clear; Arlington 45, overcast; Chandler AZ 50, clear; Singapore 82, haze; Kingston -3C, cloudy.

i'm not sure where i'd rather be.

how 'bout you?

Sean Says

thinking about nicknames as i watch the jumpy stream of bruins v bruins
obviously i'm cheering for the belmount bruins
who were holding their own till i switched to the xu game
just checked back and the bruins are down 32
they aren't the only bears
california has the golden bears
not to be confused with montana grizzlies
i'd say the #5 wolfpack know who they are now
not to be confused with the #10 wolfpack of north carolina
the bruins are not the only species to go after themselves
second round we could have wildcats play each other
and if the wildcats win, they would have to play...
the wildcats in the fourth round
that is if the wildcats can get past the
panthers, tigers, jaguars, and more panthers
all in that region
third round could see huskies battle
that is if the huskies can get past the great danes
we have a few dogs in this tourney
and i'm not talking about air force (how did they get in)
we have bulldogs, great danes and my favorite the salukis
an ancient dog out of egypt
usually tan, white, or fawn
the Bedouin tribe believed the white patch on its forehead
was a kiss from allah
regionals could see golden eagles go at each other
or seahawks against hawkeyes,
boy would feathers fly in those games
they of course are not the only birds
hiker mike could have a field day
with an elite eight of
seahawks, eagles,hawkeyes, golden eagles, jayhawks, eagles, falcons, and
2 more golden eagles
other regional action could have the blue devils against the demons
only if the demons can get past the quakers
if the hoyas can get past the sooners and the illini
they could play the hoosiers as long as the gaels don't take the semi final
big east fans were probably shocked to see seton hall fall
hence wichita state's name
it could be the racers against the shockers
if they get past the patriots and the volunteers
but first murray state has to beat the tarheels
what the hell is a tarheel
is the mascot the tar or the heel
we could see a finals pitting the aggies
against the aggies
or the patriots against the colonials
me, i'm wishing the golden flashes
can beat the golden eagles and the golden bears
to face the racers
who beat the shockers, blazers, and badgers to get there
truly some of the greats didn't make the tourney this year
think of the battle of the bananna slugs against the anteaters
or the jumbos against the mastodons
(i think we had an uncle or two that were jumbos)
or even the dirt bags against the lord jeffs
(some of my sibs know the lord jeffs from the happy valley)
or how about the chokers against the artichokes
if only the orange had to play the poets,
we might have another national championship
go orange
