I had the MRI this morning, at
Colorado State University's Translational Medicine Institute (TMI) is a high-tech innovation hub, bringing together scholars, creators, and entrepreneurs to work in collaborative spaces where innovation will thrive. The TMI’s goal is to discover and deliver solutions that utilize the body’s healing capacity and improves[sic] the lives of animals and the humans that care for them.

a very large, new, expensive building, in a large cold room that smelled of horse. Fortunately I find the smell of horse very comforting. The MRI was not bad, except that the foam earplug I was wearing in my hearing ear started to itch. I knew it was near the end of the hour, but I didn't know how near. I spent about ten minutes wondering, can I tough this out, or am I going to have to squeeze the thing that acts as a safeword? I toughed it out.

I asked the researcher how many participants she needed to do science. She said her goal was 120, and she hoped to publish something next year. She'll send me a .pdf of my brain in a few months.

We had book group at Amy's, in the foothills, yesterday, and talked about A Sand County Almanac. It is so beautiful there, right next to the river. And so peaceful, every time we visit, that it is easy to forget that she is always at risk of fires, floods, mudslides, blizzards, loss of power and loss of access to the roads, even though we know that she has experienced all of those more than once during the life of our book group.

Did it smell of horse because they also MRI horses in there or for some other reason?

Incredible. Do not want to be the guy in charge of telling the horse it has to get an MRI.

I'm glad your contribution to science was successfully completed! I hate that moment in the MRI where you desperately want to move.

I think it will be very nifty to have a pdf of your brain.

Oh, I love A Sand County Almanac! I've read it multiple times.
