Back from a close call
« on: July 26, 2018, 06:26:47 pm »
I just wanted to let those who know me know that I have been away for a good reason.  I suffered a silent heart attack in August of 2016 and had to undergo coronary artery bypass graft surgery in September of 2016.  Three grafts where performed on my heart (a.k.a. a triple bypass).  I have adopted a much healthier lifestyle, which includes beer, but more red wine. I have also lost 40lbs.  I have missed contributing to the AHA forum, and I miss my blog. Denny contacted me not long ago about his and Drew's forthcoming book, and it made me think about all of the people who make this forum great.

Holy cow. Very glad to hear you are doing well and so glad to have you back. Your input is sorely missed.

Glad to hear from you! You are remembered here often, your contributions have been missed. Keep up the healthy lifestyle, some beer and red wine can be part of that as you know.

Edit -as all of the yeast genome stuff rolls out, I always think about what your take would be.

Glad to hear from you, Mark.  Your contributions to yeast understanding is nothing short of legendary here on the AHA forum.  Shaken, Not Stirred is still SOP for many of us...here's to your continued good health!

Cheers.

Welcome back. It’s been said on more than one occasion that your input is missed.  I third the motion that your input on the genome project is vital.
