Good morning!  I'm officially in the homestretch.  My ACE final draft is due next Thursday.  I've finished my first & then made enough updates to get a 2nd draft.  Now I've given my 2nd draft to my friend Karen to read.  After Karen reads it, I'll give it to 2 other friends in my lab to read and then finally I'll swap with my friend Dane to look for typos.  It's really happening, folks.  Slowly but surely.  Hopefully I'll still remember how to do experiments when the time comes to get back to lab work ;)

Yesterday Bear helped me correct my first draft (see above).  Then this morning after I took the 2 doggies to the big Park I went running (see bottom photo). 

This morning the cutest thing happened in the Park today.  Bear found an OLD, stiff, yellow lab that he just loved.  He was jumping in this poor old dogs face, licking it's muzzle, and getting into play stance over and over.  The old dog wagged it's tail a little and was very patient but not until Bear started barking in his face did he start hopping around, too.  He got into the oldest, stiffest, puppy play stance I've ever seen and then he and Bear chased each other around.  It was seriously like the cutest thing I've ever seen.  The old dog's owner agreed. 

That's all I've got for you, today.

Carpe diem,
