It was fun up to a certain point. Pretty much like solving a jigsaw puzzle. Too bad that I wasn't anyhow talented and have lost most of what I learnt.

It still boggles my mind that I was learning division and multiplication and such fairly early in elementary school... and yet never got further than algebra in the rest of school. Seriously? What was I doing all that time?

When (if) you figure that out, please let me know. I was probably doing pretty much the same thing.

You and your unsatisfied hormones.

I suppose it's better than putting two bullfrogs in the same tank and watching one eat the other.

My grandmother's brother to the far right making me proud...the coolest guy in the family to me who I hope to be just like when I grow up. Amidst a family of uneducated, broke Mexicans, he acquired a PhD and became a nuclear scientist, inspiring me to believe that I can be whatever I want to be when I grow up. He's also a convert to Greek Orthodoxy, having converted against the wishes of his family, kinda foreshadowing what I would go on to do.

I'm very bummed that he's going to be dying in a few months

I don't know, possibly; he has stage 4 cancer and had to have his stomach removed. I wouldn't be surprised if he did. He's only like 62 years old.

Lord have mercy. 62 is quite young.

We have a Greek Orthodox shrine to St. Nectarios here in West Covina, California. They can send oil. Many miracles involving cancer have occurred. I also venerated the rib of St. Nectarios. I had cancer and I have been in remission since 2000.
