...Meanwhile, back at the ranch... Not that there is a lot of on-topic news to discuss. Getting to the unofficial end of summer and no announcements. Guess TB and DS are at their hampton/Berkshire/CCod road houses. Not participating with many of the other biotechs. SEPR still seen, perhaps, as damaged goods. Anybody have the latest changes in institutional holdings. I guess not than many MM think that SEPR is going to run away and hide; thus, no rush to buy. ...back at the pharmaceutical ranch: we have an over-active labrador "puppy" (68 pounds at seven months). He has learned about the goodies that may be found on kitchen counters. We recently brought him to the vet to be neutered (hasn't affected ANY of his behavior one iota) where the good Dr. found some "acne" on his hairy chinny chin chin and said he needed antibiotics (20 days, two pills of 400mg a day of ___--my wife couldn't remember the prescription) for the staff infection. Well, good ol' James, after two pills of this stuff decided he couldn't resist. While we were at work, and our babysitter with our daughter, James jumps up, grabs the plastic bottle (no need for child proof lids in James' case), cracks it open with his sharp incisors and downs the 20 days' worth in the blink of an eye. Of course, our sitter doesn't tell us, my wife gets home, can't find the yellow plastic, calls me to see if I had taken them by mistake (James and I WERE taking the same antibiotic at the same time for Lyme disease) and I, knowing the way our crazy house might work, suggest that she look in the garbage. She goes ballistic when she finds the empty, cracked and topless plastic. Calls the vet, who calms her by saying, "when did he eat them, he could have cardiac arrest, kidney failure..." and whatnot. Well, after screaming at everyone, my wife is on ER alert for the dog. James, other than refusing water for about 18 hours, is his jolly old self. Never ate into his lifestyle. (We still suspect there is the top (razor blade part) of a Bic shaver in his gut--the one he swiped from the stand in the shower.) Now, for some SEPR-related news...Peter, Bruce, Dr. H, David, j_fir, Mazen. Greetings, all.
