makes me happy: Being able to advance my field of medicine and science, a lovely single malt, rich dark beer, speaking Dutch, speaking Scots-Gaelic, wearing my kilt, being in a cage knowing that within 0.5 seconds I could be knocked out or knock someone out - tap, snap or nap!!!!

makes me sad: Not having enough answers to provide all the help I wish I could, too many in the US cannot identify the Netherlands on a map, stupid and slow drivers (the left lane is for passing!), the fact that the television program The Ultimate Fighter makes cagefighters look like assholes.
