Weathering Hurricane Claudette

Well, I'm sitting here about 30 miles from the eye of Claudette. Plenty of rain, but I haven't seen the Wicked Witch fly by on her bike yet, so I guess we'll live. Of course, the weather has done a fine job of inflaming my cancellitis. I'm up to five (make that six from the e-mail I received while writing this) cancelled jobs or no-shows in the last three (four) days. Oh, well. Lean stretches used to panic me; now I live by the adage that "Slowdowns are God's way of telling you to get a hobby."

Discovered a whole other language spoken by a couple of Rezulin experts. Here's a few of my faves with briefs:

glitazone - GLIZ
troglitazone - TROIG
pioglitazone - PAOEG
rosiglitazone - ROEG
Rezulin - R*EZ
diclofenac - DAOIK
sulfonylurea - SAOUFL
thiazolidinedione - T*DZ/T*DZ (TZD - T*DZ)
glucose - GLAOUX
