Oh the Days of Yesteryear: Doughboy and Kitty-Litter

Just sitting in STL eating breakfast and preparing myself for a day of reading Life Sciences Fellowship nominations and waiting for Taylor's 2 dances in her dance competition - we have considerable waiting given that her dances are separated by other stuff by about 4 hrs!! Tom's recent post, and Renee's responses to them, reminded me that the past few years have been quite free of "oddities" for the lab. We've come along way sine the days of rotation students who "have tried it before" (the infamous cat scat eating confession) and feel that a PhD is about disappearing for a couple months to "go home to bake cookies with mom". Having said that we certainly have some good stories of our 'distant estanged relatives".

OK, better get runing to the competition venue for the long wait.

Lack of "oddities" yes - but perhaps they were replaced with drama queens - we never seemed to have a much lab drama those days......

I was beginning to wonder if your grad students had locked you in the dark room - no response to my email, no late night posts about the X-Files.... Glad to hear you are indeed alive and well (and not locked in the dark room).
