Mid-Life Crisis(es)

Last night was a bit of a college reunion of sorts at Arlene's Grocery, where two bands came down from Beantown and played for an entourage of alumni from 1993 - 1999. Band members included an M-Eye-Tee PhD student, soon-to-be Atlanta university professor (post-PhD obviously), and a Rhodes Scholar MD-PhD in genetics from Haavaahd.

The smartest band Arlene's has ever seen I would guess.

Who has time to learn to sing and play in a band? All I have time for is heating up frozen noodle dinners and playing with Bruno.

While these future Nobel Laureates were jamming on stage, a bunch of us sat in the corner commiserating over how you don't really get to think in Corporate America - and things don't happen very quickly.

Who wants to start a band with me? I bet we can get that up and running pretty quickly...
