It should be noted that today is UT/OU weekend up in Dallas at the world famous Cotton Bowl. It is also the day of the homecoming dance at J.J. Pearce High School in Richardson, Texas. I plan on watching football all day. A&M/Iowa state happens at 6 PM tonight on pay-per-view, the biggest sham in the history of the world.
Then I think I have a meeting about how we arrange the trip to China I'll be making in April of 2005. There are also undercurrents of going to Greece for a few weeks in May with some classmates. Let's hope that comes true as well.

Looks like China got word UT-Houston kids are on their way...
Beijing installs condom machines
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3731384.stm
The authorities in China's capital Beijing have announced plans to install 1,000 new condom vending machines to fight the spread of HIV and Aids.
Machines selling high-quality condoms will be placed in hotels, bars and universities, Chinese media said. They will also be installed on construction sites to target migrant workers from elsewhere in China.
The plans are part of a nationwide campaign to slow the spread of HIV, which affects some one million people. Unofficial estimates are higher, experts say. The UN says the number of HIV and Aids victims in China could quickly rise to 10 million if serious steps to fight the epidemic are not taken.
There are already 1,700 machines in the capital, many of which are often out of service or empty. The authorities have said they will renovate those as well. The new machines will dispense condoms for 1 yuan ($0.12) a piece and their quality will be guaranteed, Chinese media said.
Thanks Seema (a student at Baylor College of Medicine and Ultra Liberal KPFC Pacifica Radio - Houston). I'm sure all of the surgery program directors who visit the website will be pleased to know how hard we party at The University of Texas - Houston Medical School.
Oops. Sorry. :) Not really.
For all the PD's reading: Tommy Roshek would make a wonderful surgeon. I'd definitely let him into my program if I were a director. Hell, I'd even go further: I'd let him cut on me, how about that? (Or at least my dog.)
Awwww, how sweet!
