Deneb, Jammerlich, Thuso and llurpsienoodle spent the day with Dr. Bob yesterday.
It was a little awkward at first. He didn't return my phone calls from the night before, and so I wasn't sure if he was all that interested in hanging out with us. Thinking perhaps he wanted to spend "quality time" with rowdy pdocs.
But he suggested a Tapas restaurant, and we enjoyed shrimp with garlic, BREAD (llurpsie's on a bread-kick lately), spinach, brusselssproutsalad, quail stuffed with foie gras wrapped in bacon, fried dates wrapped in bacon. and how could I forget the chorizo with aioli, or the potatoes with mayonnaise and tomato sauce (Thuso declined all food except non-mayonnaise covered potato)
Deneb is excited because she has 2 giant boxes of cookie crisp to share with tomato guy ;) Apparently Canada has yet to import this delicacy.
I was pleasantly surprised that Dr. Bob knows how to talk. He's a bit awkward, but so am I; I'd probably be more nervous if he seemed like he was totally comfortable talking to psychobabblers. En Garde!
Everywhere we went in Washington DC we kept on running into pdocs that struck up conversation with Dr. Bob. On the street, in the convention center, in the metro.
After tapas we went to the conference centre (<---- uh oh, deneb's canadianesse is rubbing off on me, eh?) and practiced our presentations. We were all nervous. I had forgotten to email Dr. Bob a copy of Jammer's powerpoint. (still kicking myself. dammit!)
Okay, I have to run now. I'm going to let this information soak in. Next installment will be the hours of 3:15 pm until closing. Betcha can't wait, huh?
