Alumni Batch Lore Pad

I'm still waiting for my mtDNA HVR1 and HVR2 from batch 143. I will inquire again tomorrow, and I can almost guarantee I will merely get the perennial "wait 2 more weeks" excuse.

I just got some new mtDNA matches, so apparently at least some are being completed. I don't know what batch they were in, but maybe you'll get yours today too

This evening, brother, this evening. Maybe late this evening.

The clock just clicked past midnight here. Do you smell Pumpkin?

Yeah, and I think I just tripped on a glass slipper, too.

I can see from my window people with green-white-red faces are gathering in the square where they put the maxi tv screen...I'm outta here too...may the best team win!

You can watch and celebrate. The USA is down 3-0 right now.

It's too much for me, but I predicted a blowout in Italy's favor.

Our best athletes don't go into soccer. Too many other bigger-money-making sports going on.

I made a serious error!

I checked the score on the internet and thought Italy was up 3-0!

The score was actually 1-1 and ended up that way.

Not bad.

I purposely did not watch the game because I thought the USA was going to get pasted.

Oh me of little faith!

Good job USA! (At least we didn't lose.)

Serious error?..
For you...50 lashes with a wet noodle, in a crowded schoolyard

Today Switzerland plays Togo, Ukraine plays Saudi Arabia, and Spain plays Tunisia.

I make no predictions as to the eventual victors, although I think Spain has a pretty good team and I would like to see Ukraine win at least one game.

DNA testing takes too long, doesn't it?

I'm sure the day will probably come when you will be able to put your hand on a screen and get a complete dna analysis in a minute or two and a complete list of your ancestors back to the advent of surnames and any ancient and prehistoric remains that have been tested.

Wow!

The Netherlands and Argentina played to a scoreless tie today!

Way to go, Netherlands!

I really thought the Argentines would roll over the Dutch team. I was glad to get home from my long train ride (I missed the game because of it) and find out the Netherlands did not lose.

I saw most of the Portugal/Mexico game. It was pretty exciting. Portugal has a pretty good team.

Watching soccer helps me wait patiently for my Deep SNP-R1b test in Batch 155.

There. This post was about dna after all.

Team USA is out of the World Cup.

Oh, well . . .

Italy beat the Czech Republic. The poor showing by the Czechs really surprised me, as did Germany's manhandling of Ecuador.

I am enjoying the World Cup, but I make no predictions as to the final outcome.

I just hope some team knocks off Brazil.

About my Deep SNP-R1b in Batch 155.

The results are targetted for July 17. It's a funny thing, though: This time I'm not in a hurry or impatient at all.

Yes, I am looking forward to the results, but I am not wanting the summer to pass by too fast. As a teacher, I am off for the summer starting tomorrow afternoon.

I don't want to rush any of it.

So July 17, take your time getting here.

School's Out For Summer!!!



YEAH, BABY!!!

I took my three-year-old with me to work today for the last workday for us teachers. She was good as gold and then fell asleep on the train coming home.

Lately the @#$%^&* VRE has been running late every doggoned day.

Today I thought we would be home really early, since we caught the train that was supposed to leave at 13:14. The trip home normally takes one hour. Today it was a miserable, sweaty 2.5 hours.

I got a free ride ticket out of it, but that does not make up for the suffering.

Well, I'm off for the summer. No more riding the train until the end of August.

Whoopee!

We have a new member in my surname project. Maybe his test results will come in and we'll match.

That was the obligatory DNA-related portion of this post.

France beat and thereby eliminated Spain 3-1 in their World Cup match.

That was a shocker to me. I thought the Spanish would crush the French team.

[Stevo]

France knocked Brazil out of the World Cup, as everyone knows by now.

I got most of my Deep SNP-R1b results back, too.

This summer is going pretty well thus far.

Now if Germany can just win the whole thing . . .
