<<I got royally screwed in the wallet on May 9th. >> Happened to me about March 1st. Has happened before and will again. Be glad you can't get AIDS from that type of screwing.

Yeah, it sucks having your biggest stock blow up. You still thinking about moving to the central coast? Your silicon valley house must be sky high right now.

Hey Michael! welcome back! I assume you've just held on to all that XICO and I've watched it come back a lot and am hoping you feel a little better. That was a terrible blow. (Next time Freddy crows about AFFX, mention CLPA.) It's 4 in the morning here- but my body won't believe it. We got back late yesterday afternoon from our trip- Freddy was right, though I won't tell him, that I was on both a barge and a binge. I strongly recommend this vacation to anyone who likes really superlative food, incredible scenery, history, and a lot of wine. Bourgogne is absolutely breathtaking - we went hot air ballooning one evening at sunset and looked out over the whole valley all the way to the Alps. Castles are everywhere- one on every corner, like 7-11's. We landed in a farmer's field and he came out and drank champagne with us. I now have an official certificate that says I am a hotairballooner of courage and sang-froid. I'm adding this to my resumé, which needed a little oomph. We sampled about 50 different wines over the course of the week, some which sell for 200 a bottle here in the states. I have a feeling I am ruined forever for box wine. But probably not.
