Weekend fun! And a preview of what's to come...

No need to fear Renee, Brandon is alive and well. It's just Ullas, Amanda and myself hanging around the lab right now getting ready for the week and watching the kiddies trickle in to their dorm rooms. It was a warm Columbia afternoon and its shaping up to be a pleasant evening too.

To prove this isn't a posthumous letter, I include a snap of Ullas and myself from just a moment ago (he strokes the yeast with his loop and I'm screwing in the rotor). I guess you were right about the weekend romance possibilities. :-)

Actually, I'm working this weekend, because I'm planning on being out-of-town next Saturday for my birthday to see Jason, Kelli and new Trajan and to have some fun in KC. This is to be preceded by a Friday evening get-together of lab and other 3W folk at the new Columbia Hooters restaurant. You see they have some of the most tender, succulent and luscious .... chicken wings and other delicious cuisine that it seemed a shame not to visit on my birthday weekend. And it wouldn't be right to forget all of my fellow 3W brethren for this special occasion either (In fact some people in 3W are Hooters virgins and have yet to ever go to a Hooters! I guess they didn't have fathers like your Ed that take a positive, active role in their son's life and take care of these things early on.). Well those deficiencies will be seen to forthwith.

Hope all is well with everyone else. Perhaps I'll go home now and enjoy those films on TV that everyone has been watching/discussing all weekend.

PS I shall contribute when appropriate (mostly when I feel like it). Don't worry I cannot be silenced for long. Besides who isn't enjoying the hourly play-by-play of TCM's weekend line-up, associated commentary or thinking about whether my boss is running around without his wallet? :-)

Good to see someone's working - of course the picture is not a live feed so it could have been staged on friday night!!! We'll just have to trust you I guess.

I still think Hooters is like watching USA ona friday night when you have (S)Cinemax...but that's just me. I'm up for wings though...

Yes... these Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights in the lab can look the same to the untrained eye. I guess I'll have Ullas pose with a newspaper next time all hostage-style!

As for Hooters just make sure you have permission to come from the boss-wife. We wouldn't want you to miss out on the hot, tasty, dripping... in sauce chicken wings. We'll be leaving promptly at 5 PM.

I guess Hooters is the new Country Club.

They have juicy, thick and tender.... hamburgers there too. They also firm yet supple... buns.

Glad to hear you are indeed live and well B. Would have been much more interesting if it were the "recovering from a hot date" scenerio instead of the "working hard in the lab" theory. Anyhow - first lab trip to Hooters and I'm going to miss it - humph....big sigh.

If Ed says it is OK, we'll get you a Hooters T-shirt for wearing around the house. Let us know...

Ummm - tempting, but I don't think I'd fit in with the other moms at storytime wearing my Hooter's shirt. Have a beer and some wings for me - that will be good enough. I'll be there in spirit!
