great news, John!
But you don't mention exactly what you do, or what the company does. Research into ... ? First Quadrant of what?
Whatever it is, congrats!
Bob has the flu ... I thought I had it, too, yesterday, but it seems that in my case it may have just been an inner ear thing from stopping my antihistamines over Thanksgiving. I got the prescription refilled last night, and took some major strength Benadryl to clear the fluid out, but am still a little dizzy and so forth. Oh, well ...
Hope all is well with you all out there.
