Shop talk

Dickinator and her boyfriend are in town for the annual JP Morgan Healthcare Conference this week, and she was able to sneak out to meet me for a little dinner catch up.

It was so great seeing her, but kind of funny to be discussing work, trade publications, pharmaceutical R&D and other industry topics since I've now moved into the healthcare sector. Of all my friends, she's possibly the only one who would have inadvertently come across a recent Panda!!!!-featuring article in PharmaVOICE magazine.

As always, it was great to see Dickinator and we spent the evening catching up, laughing and splitting a bottle of wine. In college, we used to spend so much time together that people thought we were dating (And once, a flower shop thought we were ordering centerpieces for our wedding.), but now we only see each other two to three times each year, if we're lucky.

Fortunately for me, she makes an annual trip to San Francisco for this conference and I get to steal her away for one night while she's in town.
