Planning ahead?

Far, far ahead. I received an email from the Dartmouth College Gift Planning office yesterday asking me to consider including the College in my will. You don't have to be a paramedic to know that life is unpredictable and, sometimes, tragically short, but this seems a little ridiculous. I'm barely eighteen months out of college and they're already after me for a bequest? Come on.

The Pan-American Intercollegiate chess championships wrapped up last week, with the University of Texas--Dallas taking top honors with an undefeated 6-0 match score. Second place was shared between the University of Maryland--Baltimore County and the University of Texas--Brownsville, with UMBC taking second on tiebreak. Dartmouth did not send a team this year; the Ivy League was represented by Yale University, which won the Class B prize. Brown University was also scheduled to participate, but the East Coast blizzard kept them from making it to the playing site in Wisconsin. Congratulations to all the winners!

In other news, we put our new ambulance into service at work today. It rides great, and I'm looking forward to breaking it in. Exciting times around here.
