Winter Formal

Sunday,  01/30/11  09:07 AM

(rubs eyes)  I am a bit bleary and gray this morning, like the weather outside (it is lightly raining).

Last night was Oaks Christian's Winter Formal dance, and as usual Alexis and her friends were stunning:

And Alex always attracts a crowd:

After the dance "everyone" came over to our house for an after-party.  The less said about that, the better :P  Whew.

 

"half a billion per monkey"

This I have to share: So I'm at a business meeting over dinner, wine served, and discussion turns to a company which was sold for $3B on the basis of a "six monkey trial".  (aka, a rather sketchy study conducted to show pre-clinical safety and efficacy of a new drug.)  All were flabbergasted at the value created by potentially effective new drugs.  And it was noted "that's half a billion per monkey"!  (tap tap, crash)
