I'm back at school now. In fact, I'm at the hospital right now. I'm on-call for orthopedics. I just saw this 90 year old fellow who broke his pelvis after falling down on the 18th hole of a golf course. He plays snooker on Tuesdays, euchre on Wednesdays and Thursdays, dances (40's style) on Fridays and is the chairman of 5 clubs. He was in the airforce during WWII and was married to his wife for 55 years.
He's an inspiring old chap. Whenever I meet someone who has done such a bang up job with living life, I ask them how they knew to marry the person they did. (This may seem silly, but I'm inclined to think that it's really something that can contribute greatly to one's overall happiness. I think if I ask enough people, I'll be able to assemble some sort of case series. While this obviously lacks the power of a randomized control trial, it is still a valuable tool in generating hypotheses. It's a McMaster kind of thing.)
Anyways, I've run across some common themes. It appears common sense may be the over-riding factor. How boring.
