Kate is very lucky. She has a Daddy who is constantly thinking about her and helping her develop. When he travels for business, he tries to bring the kids a little something special. This week Daddy was just doing his regular work, but he came across something he could not resist. He was walking through the medical school, passed the bookstore and brought home a stuffed toy for each of the kids.
Shortly after arriving in the US, Kate was diagnosed with Giardia (an infectious gut disease) that helped us become close friends with the local Health Department. Well, the drugs killed the bugs and we eventually stopped having weekly conversations with our pals at the Health Department. Kate doesn't remember anything about it, but we do. Therefore, Daddy showed up with a stuffed rendition of a giardia...magnified 1,000,000 times. She loves her new little protozoan friend and happily posed for pics with him.
(Sam got a stuffed Saccharomyces cerevisiae...one of the yeast species used to produce bread, beer and wine.)
For those of you who read about Kate's corn up her nose, we got the bills in today. That little elusive kernel cost about $500... How come I paid $.75 for that ear of corn, but is actually cost about $500 a kernel? Economics was never one of my favorite subjects.
