Has it really been 3 months?

Since I last updated this thing. Well, here are the high, and lowlights:
1. In late Nov, I had a CT scan that came back clear- Thanks to God.
2. In early Dec, my grandmother in CT passed away. She was 99 and was still living on her own. She is truely an inspiration to me and she will be missed.
3. In mid Dec, Cole, Mike and I went to Jamaica for vacation. We had the best time. Cole still talks about wanting to go back. There are pictures at the Flicker site- click on "More Swabo pictures" to the right.



4. For Christmas we had lots of Mike's familiy down to visit and we had a blast. Cole still doesn't like Christmas or Santa.
5. When I got back to work in Jan, there was a shooting at worka dn we were in lockdown for 4 hours. As it truned out, some dumb lady actually brought a gun to work and shot herself in the foot.
6. The next week, Pfizer announced a bunck of layoffs and, thankfully, our group, Biologics, was safe.
7. Two weeks later, Pfizer announced the merger with Wyeth which has a huge biologics group. About 1000 people vs. our 300. They have had products on the markets for about 15 years which we are just trying to do now. Not good. There is not much optimism in our group about the future. The deal is final at the end of Sept. so we won't know anything until then.
8. We are awaiting , yet another cousin, on 19Feb!! Good luck Jen and Rob!!
9. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!!

Well, that pretty much gets you up-to-date. Hope all is well with you out there.
