@15: exactly. Not too young at all. Surely they must have been exposed to some Sartre or Camus in their AP English classes? I think this is a speech that would have resonated with me as a death-obsessed youngster. For me, a career in environmental and public health science proved a fitting venue to quell the existential angst (so far, at least).

This is a small, but necessary, step in protecting free and open use of genetic information. I wondered if Slog would pick up on the local connection via Dr. King. Very nice post, thanks Gillian.

@3: Don't forget pit bulls, of course. Although, sadly, this week they seem to have their fangs set on therapy horses.

I hope to be able to join you on one of these walks, Jen, next time I'm in Seattle. Is there a schedule for the tours you lead?

So nice to see Dan beating the master at his own game. Well played.

Well, it's icy, so that's a good start.

I agree with everything Dan wrote past the first sentence. If you're feeling sad already that this guy doesn't return your affections, the three-way probably won't help matters any.

I'm so sorry about your wife's crash, taco hut @72. I hope she makes a speedy and complete recovery.

@19: and don't forget animals and other critters that jump out in the road at you. Just last night outside my city a cycling group was out on an 18 mph ride on a nice country road. A labrador retriever ran out and charged at a guy, knocking him off his bike at high speed. His helmet cracked, but he suffered nothing worse than bumps and bruises.
