I bought a spaceship. Tell me I didn't - I dare you.

I have veins, but I'm pretty sure Austin has more veins.  That's because he's on steroids; that or he works out.  I'm not sure which it is.  If it's the latter he must be doing it a lot, because I work out but I don't have veins like that.  I wonder if he ever worries that by working out too much he'll get varicose veins?  I never asked him that.  I bet someone at Georgetown knows the answer to that, which frankly is why I like universities.  And the internet.  Like the internet more.  More info it feels like.  And office hours are longer.  At least twice as long. 

I just looked up varicose veins and the internet told me that they are swollen, twisted, and sometimes painful veins that have filled with an abnormal collection of blood.  (You can check google health for that).  I guess a lot of the causes of this is just hereditary.  The other potential cause is that you have been standing too much.  Basically is a result of bad valves.

Bad valves are a bad situation in anything it seems like.  Bad valves in a car: bad.  Bad valves in your heart: bad.  Bad valves in a rocket ship: probably bad too.
