Today and tomorrow, I have a better playground for my mind. My co-inventor of key on line analysis technology for waste water streams in chemical factories (and elsewhere) showed up this morning to work with me on the newest and latest modifications to make our toys more productive and useful. Mike has two Ph.D. degrees, one in computer science, the other in nuclear reactor control (for which he had to have a very good security clearance!). He is an ideal playmate, and comes in every three months for a few days as my favorite work playmate in the chemical factory. When he leaves sometime this weekend to fly off to his next venture (he has a new one every week), then I will think about posting to this thread again in a meaningful way.
And, NO, Roark, I am not in retirement. I left one big chemical firm on my 60th birthday in 2001 to go across town to take the same assignment for another big chemical company. I like getting a full retirement from one company and a full paycheck from another one, it allows me to buy more fun playtoys.
Later.
Have a good time in the meantime!
Your koiphen chemist and environmental scientist.
