Yoh, Dave
Pretty busy, but that's life...
-Was sortof on my way to Sweden for a tenured position at Gothenburg University. But with a divorce and an ex who didn't fancy to move to Sweden and me not fancying leaving my son behind, I'm building up to a staff position here at McGill University - running a smallish proteomics center that is about to start up. They want to bestove on me the title of 'manager', which I loathe... Not a title that belongs in a university setting if you ask me...
Otherwise, I can't complain... Except about growing older... Monday is my 40th... ugh...
I remember not being bothered by 30 at all, but 40... That means looking ahead to 50... hmmmm...
No ice hockey, this winter... That sucks, big time!
We've just lost our Baseball team to DC and there's no ice hockey... I'm running out of excuses to not work, which leaves me in the lab until long into the night and I'd sort of visioned that as being a thing of the past! -But there you go...
It's getting cold in Montreal. Winter's approaching.
I'm charming the idea of taking a holiday in early February, when it's minus 30. Two weeks to Cuba (something one can do, when living in Canada) to send e-mails home to the lab, every day, saying something to the order of "It's 78F, here... 75, with the wind chill... Have to go... Boat's about to leave... Man, snorkling is so hard! What one must do to earn the self-imposed right to a glass full of Rum and a Salsa with da ladies... Too bad they're not blond... DoubleBuy would hate this place..."
Well, enjoy your Thanksgiving! We've had ours, already, here in Canada.
Best,
KD
