more hawk-ish than dove-ish
one small part of my life has come full circle. two years ago i participated in a study looking at frontal cortex development through the adolescent years and then comparing that to development of heavy drug/alcohol users. they questioned me, tested me and MRIed me.
i went back today to start the follow-up process. they re-questioned and re-tested (the MRI comes later). as a part of the process i had to define 42 words on a vocabulary list. the list was identical two years ago. i remember because the last word on the list was 'panacea' and was the only one i didn't know. after the testing two years ago i went home and immediately found the definition so that i would never be unable to define it again. today i came to number 42 on the list and proudly said "cure-all".
