It really is a small world...
After my post yesterday, the marketing department was informed that Dr. Moreton would be moving into our office to open up his old room to be converted for use by patients. There was some serious Tetris-inspired moving of desks and seating and I somehow ended up getting stuck with the smallest desk ever right in the middle of the room (which now has six people in, literally, an 18'x25' space.)
To make up for it, Dr. Moreton offered to take me out for dinner again at the Moon River Diner, but when we got there we ran into an Emergency Department doctor I hadn't met yet named Serge. We sat down with him and started chatting... turns out 40 years ago he was a Sigma Chi at Columbia University, went to medical school at Georgetown, moved to Germantown, MD and practiced in the DC area for 32 years before coming out to Shanghai. Crazy stuff.
After dinner I made it, fashionably late, to Senses for what turned out to be a really enjoyable wine tasting event for the Kingston label from Australia. Met some interesting new people including a guy named Dan Brady, the owner of a huge restaurant/bar called "Bubba's Bar-B-Que" which isn't that far from my place and has a sweet (semi-legal) Direct TV/Tivo/SlingBox setup connected to a big screen. He also happens to be a huge Texas fan and will be throwing a tailgate party and playing the much hyped "Ohio State vs. Texas Rematch" on Sunday morning.
Heading to an art gallery this evening to try and get a little culture back in my life but then heading to $1.25 Tequila Shot night at I Love Shanghai... which should wipe away any culture I accidentally pick up. The other highlight is watching the badger game live Saturday night/Sunday morning with Mike and Beth, I'll let everyone know how the big football weekend goes.
