Mish- I never lived in Philly but I might as well have- I used to spend a week in Upper Merion/King of Prussia/Philly every month for couple of years, and then I had a couple of years of everyone in my team working there and visiting often but not every month.
My experiment has been brewing for a year now- we were trying to find a new form of my drug that would be easier to give to patients as a tablet (the old version wasn't well absorbed from the gut). I think we're finally getting somewhere with that- only another 6 months before I can prove it in my patients! It's very very exciting- it takes so long to get results that it's important to celebrate when they come. And there's no feeling like an experiment working out- a combination of having a secret no-one else knows and 'see, I knew it!'.
Handsome- I've missed you too! But I notice tht you're not around here as much either. I hope that's because you're plotting an escape to St Andrews
My friend from Upper Merion is visiting on Friday and we're going out for some drinks and lunch- I can't wait as I haven't seen him for a couple of years now and we have so much to catch up on (he used to work with me in London and then moved- crazy!). He knew the guys who died quite well as well so we'll be able to toast them and share some memories. He sent me a message today saying that he was still in shock and reminded that life is fragile and transient, which is why he's such a good friend- that's exactly what I thought.
CEO's glacial pace- I love that Jeff! Today he was being so great- full of dreams and plans and funny. I'm not sure how long it's going to last- might as well appreciate it while I can!
