March Madness, Match Day and Holy Week)

Dear Readers,

It’s a big week ahead.

Along with the beginning of the NCAA Men’s National Tournament, Thursday is also Match Day for every med student across the nation. Some time in the afternoon, my fiancee Mindy and I will find out where we’ll be living for the next three years. We might stay in Portland, but the odds are small.

Deciding on our list was agonizing. A friend recently read a list which named the top ten stressful things that can happen to a person these days. Moving, getting a new job, and getting married were all on there. It’s very possible Mindy and I will be going through all three in the next three months. Hoo-ray. At least Chad Gibbs went through this last year…

To alleviate stress, I’ll be watching basketball all day Thursday. That’s the ticket. For those planning on joining me, we’re doing this years’ rendition of the Burnside Tournament Bracket. It’s free. All you have to do is click here. If that’s not working, our group number is 43636, a number disturbingly similar to my bank account. Join up and invite your friends.

Also, above all, it’s Holy Week. I’m having a hard time focusing, so I hope I can get some time to think about what Jesus came to this Earth to do. I hope you all have a peaceful Palm Sunday/Maunday Thursday/Good Friday/Sad Saturday/Easter Sunday. It’ll be nice to come back next Monday and be reminded HE IS RISEN, INDEED!

Thanks for reading,
