Purple Spiked Water

I have to admit that the name of this one eludes me and I haven't had a chance to look it up. I'm yawning and trying to look forward to another day in a chilly lab - but I'm excited about my trip this weekend and a chance to visit with a bunch of people I haven't seen in a while - which is of couse why it has to coincide with the one weekend this summer that my best friend happens to be in town. I guess there isn't much to be done except eventually visit her later. Well, I'm not free until this assignment is done... so no more procrastinating.

I hope the chinese man with the facial tumour is recovering well. We're the same age. It shocks me that he hasn't had medical treatment already. Disfigurement is horrible enough, but the impacts on his health and well being were surely enough to warrent intervention years ago. I guess I should double count my lucky stars - to be relatively healthy and live in a country with public health care. It amazes me the terrible things that people suffer through.

Cheers,
