Lisa---those vietnam days were some of the saddest for our military. Whatever one thought about the war, it was terrible the way people held our soldiers and troops responsible, instead of recognizing their bravery and sacrifice. Even after that, I just think people took not only our military, but our firefighters and law enforcement for granted prior to 9/11. Now, all over the U.S., there's a real heightened appreciation for all of those brave services!!

Masaki---how interesting---how did you find your way to medicine from mechanical engineering....

About LCT addiction---I think we need to start a support group for those of us struggling with addiction. It's pitiful when you're on LCT at work and someone approaches your desk with a task for you to do, and you say, "Excuse me??? Can't you see I'm on LCT??????" :hyper:
