Katie and I are going to co-write this Blog entry. I will write and Katie will dictate from time to time.
Dan says: It is very very cold here. Or at least it has been, today it's supposed to finally get above freezing. The cold has got to me, as I caught a bad cold after about 2 years of healthiness. It got me last weekend and I even had to cancel some classes at Hofstra on Wednesday for the first time ever. Some of my students were very worried, one went so far as to take a picture of the class cancellation notice since he knows he'll never see one like it again in his tenure at the school. Other students just rejoiced at the unexpected gift of a freed-up hour. I just needed to stay in bed one day. Now I feel fine again.
Katie says: Penicillin and cephalosporins are bacteriacidal, they inhibit transpeptidation which in turn inhibit cell-wall prostaglandin synthesis.
Dan says: Our friend Rachel came to stay over the other night since she was up on business from Washington, DC. Fun times, and we ordered out for sushi for the first time here in Brooklyn. You might expect to be a bit nervous about raw fish home delivery in one of the outer boroughs, but it was very good and very fresh. Yum. She went home the next morning.
Katie says: I'm reading my Pharm review! Protein pump inhibitors reduce and/or block histamine, acytocholine or gastrin mediated h-plus extrusion by parietal cells.
Dan says: Yesterday at Hofstra I heard about 6 prospective horn players audition. All would be welcome additions to Hofstra, although some of them are applying to quite a few places and my choose to attend elsewhere. They were all nervous, and I did my best to make them feel less uncomfortable. Then I took the train home and Katie and I kicked back in front of the TV and watched part of my Christmas present, a 7-DVD long documentary about the history of NYC. Very neat.
Katie says: Stop bugging me, Dan, I'm trying to study pharmacology! [but she goes on to say] Sulfonamides and trimethoprim potentiate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of each other.
Dan says: So there you have it, life flows on, some fun stuff, some not fun stuff, and pharmacology (which has elements of both, but mostly the latter). I hope your weather is warmer than ours.

This is what I know:
Pernicious anemia is a deficiency of intrinsic factor
And that's all that I know.
So good to "see" you here. I check on you every so often. I'm glad you two are so happy and well. Congrats on recent victories in the job market and I'm sorry you were sick. Take care.
I think I sent a comment, but if it didn't come through, I'll paraphrase. Nice to see you, glad you're happy. Hope all is well.
