I wanted to let people know that starting tomorrow I'll be taking some vacation time. Internet access will be rather limited - I'll be checking my mail some in the evenings, but there will be no posting until the middle of next week. Science will have to march on without me for a few days!
My two favorite blogs, this one and Lamentations on Chemistry, both on vacation at the same time. Did I miss the memo, or is there a conspiracy? We've already lost electricity here at work TWICE this morning. Someone is trying to keep me away!

Have a good vacation Derek. We will wait at your return for a post about antitumoral properties of injectable Vitamin C :)

I'm sure the industry will manage to stumble from missed opportunity to corporate catastrophe and back again without you, also.
If not, we might have found the problem. ;)
Oh, wait, you were between jobs for a few months and things didn't improve. Next suspect, please.

Enjoy yourself. I'm really looking forward to hearing the rest from the Alzheimer's conference.

NOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooo.....
You sure you can't make a quick secret post while no one is watching? Even a story from grad school in two to three paragraphs will do.
