Maybe I should look for that publishing deal - if "A year in the merde" can get published, then anything can - "A Tale of Two Cities" it ain't Hi Steve,

You know, your blog is a better read than "A year in the Merde", maybe you should go for a publishing deal!<br/><br/>I don't recall anything about epilepsy from those start-up days, and it's a huge relief the conference you refer to was in Vancouver not Cologne!<br/><br/>As for driving, I guess you must have had a lift with our team leader in the mornings - I never picked up that you didn't drive.

As for driving, I guess you must have had a lift with our team leader in the mornings - I never picked up that you didn’t drive.
