Just wanted to say...

My friends in Palo Alto yesterday celebrated their older daughter's birthday. I can't believe they've been parents for 27 years now! Their older daughter is not just lovely on the outside, but on the inside too -- a college graduate, a black belt in two different martial arts, and a pediatric oncology nurse in a San Francisco hospital. (I think she is a vegetarian, too.)

Now back to work ... I am experiencing a sudden burst in requests for my services. Let's see ... is it better to do a phone interview with a scientist right after he gets off a flight from Atlanta to Barcelona, or should I wait till he reaches his final destination somewhere in France? And on a completely different scientific topic, what questions should I ask Dr. Hell?
