Casual Friday

In response to Smitty's comment regarding my lack of posting, all I have to say is "sheesh to you". Let me reiterate my Institute's motto:

Banner Alzheimer’s Institute…
…ending Alzheimer’s disease without losing a generation…

Yes, I am saving the world. Or at least a small percentage of it (a percentage that increases with age, but I won't go into those stats here).

But Smitty's comment did inspire me to blog a little bit. But I can't do it at the office, given that work blocks most websites, even the most innocent of ones. Email has also been a problem. Case in point, I emailed my CV to my work address only to have it denied because the word "Kraut" was used too many times. You see, back at Hopkins I co-authored many papers with Mike Kraut . . . yes, that Kraut was obviously referring to a bad, bad thing. Kevin used the word "crap" once in an email sent to my work address and it was returned to him as undeliverable due to foul language. I think if the amount of energy that went into blocking websites and emails was used instead for good, we would have already ended Alzheimer's disease.

Ok, enough on that note. Work is actually great. Nicole is doing super, too. She's been enjoying her daily treat of rice cereal and we're encouraged when a fraction of it actually ends up in her stomach. Her biggest complaint right now is not knowing what to get her dad for his birthday on Tuesday. It's a big deal you know, her first birthday gift to him. If you have suggestions, she'd love to hear them. You can email her at nicole.langbaum@gmail.com
