Now to study for a massive A&P test (found a really enjoyable, in-depth physiology book).
What physiology book are you utilizing? I've been looking for a good reference.

I'm using Human Physiology: From Cells to Systems by Lauralee Sherwood.
Does it make difficult concepts easy to understand?

Great....just what I need to read a week before reporting to Jumpmaster school.....a Paratrooper killed by improperly rigged equipment causing him to spin around while exiting the aircraft causing the static line (that connects the airplane to the parachute so it opens automatically upon exit) to wrap around his neck causing lacerations to his left interior and external carotid arteries and left internal jugular. His spinal cord was separated resulting in internal decapitation within the first two seconds of exiting the aircraft, according to the report...

RIP Spc Roberts

Yeah, that sucks... at least it was quick for him and (unfortunately) a very strong and grim reminder to make sure all the rigging is done correctly.

I think so. I'm really flying through a lot of material very quickly; it's written in a very clear and concise but thorough style. The only downside depending on what your focus is would be that it only covers as much anatomy as you need to understand the physiological concepts. That's kind of a plus on my view.

At the end of this month, a national chain ice cream store that isn't DQ will be airing a new commercial. (I'm not sure if I can say the name). It features the song "This Magic Moment" . I'm playing on it. Was in the recording studio last week. Just sayin'. ;)

Awesome! Is it airing nation wide?
