RedRum…RedRum
So…
The alarm goes off (on Wednesday morning) and, as always, I hit the snooze button.
And I hit it again 9 minutes later…
And I hit it again 9 minutes later…
And then I looked at the clock and it said 5:22 am.
Whazzit?
Oh…Fuck. I was supposed to be up at 5 so I could be on the road at 6.
Even running late I managed a good hair day.
The trip to Sioux Falls for my flight to San Diego was largely uneventful.
That is…if you don’t count the semi trailer just slightly ahead of me.
The one that hit the deer.
It wasn’t RedRum…it was Red Rain.
Luckily most of the spatter missed my truck. The windshield wipers took care of the rest.
The weather in San Diego is delightful. The company is boring. Most of my “homies” skipped this meeting. They are apparently rather busy being soccer Daddies and Mommies.
Fucking heteros…don’t they know they are letting me down with all this breeding?
I just got back from a reception for which the entertainment was an aged pathologist playing selections from Schubert and a classical guitarist.
Luckily a cute bartender with a liberal hand in dispensing the Sparkling Wine dulled the pain.
I did, however, learn some new tricks with prostate today. And NOT from the cute bartender. You pervs. Who else could get excited about immunohistochemical stains for p63, racemase, c-Kit and CD117?
It should be noted that there are several ‘Mos amongst the attendees at this meeting. I sat next to one of them today.
Actually…he sat next to me. I think we exchanged all of four sentences.
I’m going to suggest to the planning committee that next year they organize a Friends of Dorothy reception.
Something tells me I’d be the only one that would show up.
Geez…

Sadly most xangans will be too young or too un-edujumicated to know the Shining referencing gloriously titling this entry…
” Who else could get excited about immunohistochemical stains for p63, racemase, c-Kit and CD117″ That actually sounds interesting…but that’s probably because we’re dealing with enzymes and stains in class.
Heaven help me, I’m not too young to understand “red rum”.
Considering I was actually interested in how a Dickson wheel works yesterday, I’d have probably enjoyed that talk as well.
Sure, I’m a perv, but you had me at “I did, however, learn some new tricks with prostate today.”
That made me wet in all the right places. I’d definitely get up at 5:00 a.m. for that!!!
Bah! I’m young and educated…and I got the reference.
And…teach us, oh prostate guru.
