I was enjoying some wine with friends (albeit at a safe distance) when it became clear they really didn’t get the whole virus infection/immune response thing. And, I fear some of you may not quite remember (or ever learned about) immune responses. So, let’s do a quick lesson/review.

The National Sanitation Foundation (now called NSF International) was a grand idea of three profs at the University of Michigan. Drs. Walter Snyder, Henry Vaughan, and Nathan Sinai established the concept at the School of Public Health. The goal was to create national standards for food safety and sanitation- as opposed to the piecemeal state approach that then obtained. By 1967, it became a non-profit entity.

Joint Venture Trial
I hope today’s discussion (as opposed to yesterday’s) is less emblematic of the joint ventures we just arranged.
Joint Venture?
We just spent a fair amount of time working out some very special deals. To be honest, these were the first such events in about five years.

Rosh Chodesh Elul- Day 1
Listen… Do you want to know a secret?
No, I am not channeling one of my favorites songs from the Beatles. Today is the Hebrew birthday of my eldest. (The conventional calendar event is 3 days from now.) Of course, we use the time a baby breathes its first, but Shoshana took way more than a day from the time her mother’s water broke to enter into the world.
Sucking at the Government Tit
OK, this is going to be a rant. Against a firm that generally has raised my rankles for some 50 years.
