My intention was to have this blog started *before* school started, though predicatably I'm already a quarter behind, having just recently completed my 1st quarter, and am set to go back to the grind for the 2nd quarter on Tuesday, Sept. 2nd, 2008. Of course, most of you who know my penchant for procrastination are probably chuckling and nodding to yourselves that it is only right and proper for me to begin this little project already playing catch-up. The 1st quarter was a real eye-opener and quite an adjustment, and I plan to do a whirlwind summary of it later this week. However, I needed to get this blog started or it would likely have remained somewhere on my to-do list, never to see the light of day.
Which brings me to the title ... Yes, I realize it's more than a little corny, but I was pressed for time, and as I was brainstorming possible titles, this one popped in my head for some reason and at the time inexplicably seemed snazzy, so you know what? I'm going with it. The first person who saw it immediately erupted into a fit of laughter, as I'm sure some if not most of you did as well, but I've always said I don't mind being the butt of ridicule, so laugh it up jokers! Okay, I am starting to ramble so I think I'll sign off for now, but before I sign off for now, I'll leave you with a quote, and I welcome all comments, requests, and/or suggestions for future entries. Feel free to leave some feedback, whether it's your interpretation of the daily quote, random thoughts, or even just a quick jab at my hackneyed blog title!
Today's quote comes from Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw:
There are two tragedies in life. One is not to get your heart's desire. The other it to get it.

Yay Dan for starting a blog. I look forward to reading up on your PA school adventures while reminiscing of my own. What a great idea! Now if we could only convince UD to start one...
Rube's Roost... I may have considered Taggen's Tomes as well as I am certain this has the potential to become a large scholarly book. At any rate, I also look forward to future posts - however infrequent they may become while in the heat of the semester.
I did consider Daniel's Diary and Miller's Musings as well, though I think Rube's Roost has the right cheese factor.
Plus it fits as I plan to discontinue this blog and start a new one after PA school, providing I still feel like blogging then.
Hello Daniel
I am your auntie Ann. I commend you on your tenacity and the fact that you are pursuing your higher education. As you know, your cousin, and my beautiful daughter, Rachel, is a testimony to the joys of being involved in the well respected field of physicians assistant.
By the way, Rachel, after reading your comment, what are you doing up at 4:31 am. lol
I love your blog, the name is perfect. And I especially like your "quote". Soo true, so very true.
I will look forward to checking in and wish you the very best of luck with the books.
I love it! Aunt Ann, I am so glad you stopped by to check the blog out -- and it is too funny that you "busted" Rachel for being up late -- I only laugh because I lead a nocturnal existence and have been "called out" by my bros and parents for the exact same thing when they notice when my emails were sent!
At any rate, glad to hear a few of the family has stopped by -- I hope you all are well and continue to follow my journey as chronicled here.
Hey -- I just noticed something -- one of my comments is from "aaron's blog" -- what's the deal brosef? You can't communicate with me directly now, and send your lackey to deliver your messages? From now on, I insist that Aaron himself does the talking -- I refuse to listen to messages from his blog.
Don't make me come out there to Texas -- you know I will. Consider yourself warned.
