I forgot to mention in our last mass emailing: I passed my family practice board exams! I wasn't really worried about it. I had actually studied this time and have always passed before, but it's just nice to have that taken care of. This year the scoring system has changed. One can't compare how he did compared to others. No percentiles. Just a bunch of meaningless scores. But it looks like I scored about average. I did score very high on the 'Public Health' and the 'Sports Medicine' sections. It seemed like every sports medicine question was written about me: "A 47-year-old male marathon runner..."
Passed!
