Indeed, this is excellent news JZ!

thank god my departing staff member has pushed his departure back another 2 weeks, so I have a solid month to come up with a transition plan

Of course hiring takes 6 months or more so basically I will be begging for help from other groups around the country. Yay. Love this.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

JZ, that sounds very promising. Continuing to send all good thoughts your way.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

JZ, I'm so glad to hear multiple doctors think you are on a promising track.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks for the great update, JZ!

Ugh, brenda, boo.

Ugh, sj, booo.

Hey -t or anyone -- my mother has to get from SFO to Martinez, and thinks she can take a train. Does that sound right?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

‘Bout damn time you got some productive news, JZ!
