Life: Sept 4, 2023 Labor day.

 About 5 weeks ago I strained my lower back. Probably pulled QL muscle on the right. It took about 2 weeks to recover. During the painful time, I did not want to arrange any travel for dance or whatsoever.

As a result, here it is, Labor day weekend with no travel.

You make it happen, or nothing happens.


It is not bad, though. 

For one, I am fully recovered and can dance. Tested it at a Latin party in Adelante dance studio on this past Saturday (9/2). No problem.

During the summertime, we published a paper. I am working on a grant proposal for follow-up study of the paper. 

I will be giving a talk on the subject of the paper tomorrow (9/5 Tue) to colleagues in Cancer Center, so I am adding finishing touch on presentation slides in my office while sipping nice white tea.


These are works that I kind of like. The line of work is potentially innovative, changing practice of medicine in the future. 

Finding a meaning in what you do can be great for your motivation and outcomes.
