Note to self

It is possible to fit 2 Oncology fellows plus 1 PhD fellow plus their luggage into my car.

Driving fast on CA freeways freaks out people from Baltimore.

It is possible to go from Anaheim to Long Beach, grab dinner, go to UCLA, drive thru Beverly Hills, find Mann's Chinese Theater and back to Anaheim in 6 hours.

Mann's Chinese Theater is on Hollywood Blvd. not Sunset Blvd.

It's pretty easy to beat a dragon boat team with half as many people as your team. Even if it's your team's first practice.

California beaches are the reason it would be hard to move back to Ohio. That, and the weather.

If you show up late to a dinner with your Uncles, Aunts, and cousins, they will want you to finish off the rest of the food. They will also try to make you eat as fast as possible by pouring your tea for you, clearing your plate, putting food on your plate and giving you clean wet-cloths. And they will talk about you the whole time.

Breaking up with your girlfriend is big news to the extended family.

Having a big family is great. There's always someone to talk about or someone to help you out when you travel.

Going to bed after a long day dragon-boating, playing beach volleyball, eating dinner with relatives, and putting over 100 miles on your car is priceless. Especially if your body is sore.

DW, hope you had fun reading at the beach. What a fun day, it was great to hang out. Share that boba with your roomies.
