What the…*

A bit dazed, jet lagged and feelin’ funny as usual
The flight home was OK – slept from 2 seconds after take off, but was rollin’ and turing on my way to small seats… for the complete flight.
The PFOLA conference was as usual superb, and again we took some time to check out the City.
A Braves game, a walk through the Georgia Aquarium, and a few beers.

Tnx to my main man PJ and MzMitchel for the lovely time ‘n talks.  Amazing what a difference a local can make…
And that Adam Levine stuff looks like a compliment to me

A smooth 10 hour flight zipped us to  Hartfield-Jackson Atlanta International airport.
It took us double the time, I need to get from my home to Ghent, to get from the plane to the exit of the airport.  No less then 5 security checkpoints, 5 stops on the airport train, and some searching for our luggage later we managed to get a cab to downtown Atlanta.
A quick check-in, and 20 min. later we hooked up with André, the hotel concierge who pointed us to a great steak house and the local Hooters pub.  All of a sudden, the upcomming sleepdeficit was gone…

Pictures to follow

a small addendum to my previous posting

some fantastic work by Sam
 

Sam Dillemans was born in Louvain, Belgium, 1965 and works as a painter (and in my humble opinion – as a philosopher) in borgerhout, Antwerp.
This 10 minute video is a small part of a documentary based on the Monography that was published in 2007.
I would want my students (soon to be colleagues) to listen to this fragment and to reflect…  Cause from time to time, I get the feelin’ that a lesson in ”how to be humble” is worth more then how do I jump in the fast lane to wealth.
Sit back, pay attention … and listen!
A quote:

ik leef altijd met een zeer gezonde frustratie dat ik er nooit zal geraken, en dat maakt dat ik ook altijd zal blijven werken dag in dag uit

Tnx Mr. VC for bringin’ this to my attention – I very much appreciate our 20′ talks!

LER is brought to you by the same team that brought you BioMechanics magazine. When CMP Medica abruptly shut down BioMechanics in February, a void was immediately created.  Our research showed that there was a need for a multi-disciplinary publication focused and targeted on the lower extremity. Healthcare reform and the continuum of care has opened the door for the delivery of accurate, practical and relevant information for the various specialists involved in treating the lower extremity. Podiatrists, physical therapists, orthopedic surgeons, orthotists, prosthetists, and pedorthics are all connected in this process, and LER will be bridging the information gap between the various specialists as well as between practitioners and manufacturers of products used to treat lower extremity injuries.

Notes:
This run was a warm up: 5min.; a 4 minute fast segment and 2 minute recovery (these are repeated 5 times) end with 3 min cool down.
Everthing went smooth up to the 5th fast segment, had to start walking up to the last 2 minute recovery…
Hope to redo this in about 2 days…
Note to myself… DRINK MORE …WATER!
