The lone Karling on my shelf. Thanks again for the book David! 

We have a 4C deli fridge! 

The laminar flow hood where all the culture magic takes place. 

I had to put this on my bench. He looks great in the hardcore hat blowing up Darth Maul. 

My bench space in the lab which (hold the irony) is in the basement with no windows. My desk is in an inside corner office with no windows. I feel doomed to not have windows. But at least the work is good. 

Sharon's Desk. You can't tell it but there is a star wars calendar on the desk. Hopefully it will get hung on the wall sometime soon. I even have a fridge to keep my lunch cold!  

Working Proof.....

Ok so people have been wondering if I've actually been working since all the other posts have been about Zach and I doing fun stuff around town. Well here's the proof that I have been working and not just having fun in the sun. Though I do have to say work can be fun especially with the people in the lab. Emillie, Richard, and Jen are a good bunch to have for labmates. The research is also interesting with many avenues for exploration. May the Fungus Be With Us!

Growing up in georgia

I look back on my childhood and remember winters where snow was actually deep enough to have a decent sledding adventure. I remember the 55 gallon drum cut in half being dragged by a three-wheeler, the large chicken heater disks pushed down the hill, and knee boards pulled by my father through the upper field. But as much as I loved that, I realized today that there are many ways of going faster in the snow.

Enjoy.

The Ward farmers market. Lots of really neat and odd food. 

We took the wrong #6 and had to get off across from Ward Center where Buca Di Beppo's, Dave and Buster's and the theater was located. We walked through Dave and Buster's on Saturday before the movie started to see if they had the Podracer game but no luck. On the way back from Diamond Head, we did see a gaming place that had the Podracer game so we're going to have to make a trip back sometime.

Zach's red tongue after eating a strawberry shave ice from the Magoo's truck sitting near the restroom area. 

When we got to a bunker right before the top observation deck, we came upon a nice gentleman sitting at a table offering certificates saying that we had indeed climbed Diamond Head for $2 which went to the Diamond Head Preservation Society. 

On the way down we noticed caves in the side of the crater. 

Before getting to the top after the 99 stairs there is a short spiral staircase. The stairs never end!
