Agarose Gel Electrophoresis



Great weekend. After a Saturday morning shift at the hospital, I returned and readied myself for an evening of pizza and hockey. My parents and I joined friends and family of Rob and Lauren to celebrate Rob's birthday. We enjoyed three sheets of pizza at Sergis before heading over to Appleton Arena. The game was between Cornell (Rob's alma mater) and SLU. I had not attended a SLU hockey game in about a decade, so I was quite excited. The game ended in a 4-4 tie, so no one could gloat about a victory. However, that was not where the fun lay...it was in the company of some great friends, and some new friends we met that night. The first picture is the entire group. The second is of Lauren and Rob. Lauren could not help but show off her enthusiasm for Cornell and Rob gives a number 1. Sunday morning brought church. After some good worship, Bill Hull gave a great sermon the hope that we can have in Christ. He has not let us down in the past, so we can be assured that He will not let us down in the future. This was tied in to the fact that we all have testimonies to what Christ has done in our lives, and we need to vocalize them to others. One question that Bill raised was whether we are Christians or disciples...A good question to really think about and one to apply to our individual lives. That afternoon, Rob and I joined Pastor Rick and Ryan at the SLU tennis courts. The idea was to have a nice competitive game where we (Rob and I) would come out victorious. We did have a nice competitive game but the outcome was not what I nor Rob had anticipated. Pastor Rick and Ryan beat use soundly--3 sets to 0. So congratulations to the winner, and we will see you on the court again to exact some revenge!

Sounds like a good respite from the books to me - even the tennis match...:)

Hey Jon,

Where are you?

We're long over-due for an amusingly dry and witty Nordberg commentary.

Very useful post! Tends to make complete perfect sense. And therefore is easy to understand too.
