The entrance can be kind of a foreboding place; it always reminds me of the Death Star from Star Wars, but that could just be me. Anyway, the care inside is usually the tops, and that's what's most important. It's certainly a great place to learn. It'll probably be 2 more years before graduation, when I plan to absolutely _insist_ that all my friends and relatives begin referring to me as "doctor doctor aaron". ;) After that, my wife and I are thinking of sticking around here for residency. We've made a very nice life for ourselves here, and I find that Durham has an awful lot to offer. You know, I've never been to a Duke football game? It's one of those things that we keep saying we'll do someday. Maybe with your recommendation we'll make an extra effort this fall. Cameron is another story...I've lost a significant amount of hearing in that building (and come away with some remarkably sore throats and legs from standing/jumping/yelling throughout the 2 hours of a Duke basketball game). But it's always fun. I occasionally take my M with me to the basketball games, but I've yet to come back with anything interesting. I often wish I had Doug Herr's long Telyts (and a smidgen of his skill) with me in there.
