That's awesome, Dr. Steve! We were hoping you weren't injured during your absence.

Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

Nice job dude! Welcome back to running. I keep thinking about getting a PhD, but the best reason I can come up with is so people will address me as Dr. Phil.

Yeah! Did you get a little emotional high afterwards? I could not imagine doing a PhD in with my major. From what I have seen, I could characterize PhD programs as full time job plus some for minimal pay. You go to the University of Hawaii ? One of my best and most enthusiastic professors used to teach out there. modal (remembers seeing lots of cats at the uni over there)
