Tom – I reviewed the theory and practice of taking blood pressure with my instructors this morning.  They got a big kick out of taking each others BP.  I then asked them if they wanted me to cover the biochemistry of energy metabolism.  To my surprise, they said yes!  This is not an easy subject and also not one where you can initially see a practical application to exercise and sport.  I find this the most enjoyable part of teaching the instructors – the entire class (OK only 5-6 in the class) is actually interested in the material and insights I have to offer!

One of the ceiling lights in my office was not working, I asked that they fix it – they solved the problem – they took out the entire light fixture!
