Personal:
I know a secret technique for opening mangos taught me by a Wolof sorcerer. I was briefly a political appointee at the U.N. I am intimately familiar with a disciple of David Hume.
Herodicus of Selymbria was a classical Greek medical practitioner who became famous for recommending exercise as a way of maintaining good health. The gymnasium-building craze seems to have been inspired by him. "Chaire Herodikos Selymbriaios" means 'Hail Herodicus of Selymbria!'
Interestingly, if you googled that motto all you'd turn up is my blog! (Unless you did it in Greek, I suppose)
pretty geeky Aaron, I like it a lot! I know the greek alphabet pretty well (a joke as I am a statistician ;-) ) - but took Latin as my foreign language requirement - can't remember much really! I since have filled that part of my brain with other (useless?) information.
I understand the dissertation pit ... I am glad you have running to keep you in touch with the outside world!
Hey, good mileage this week. You sound like you're running strong these days. I'll try to get over one of these weekends for a Saturday or Sunday run.
