It's your birthday!


Today is Miriah's B-day. She has wicked good cuppy cakes. There is a very special batch set aside for Miriah's exclusive after party. What also makes today special is that a few of KP's genetic tests came back. She is negative on the FLIT-3 mutation and the Philadelphia chromosome. These are the big ones. The situation can be described with a metaphor that my father would understand. There is this hunter (doctor) who is an expert, a professional, if you will. He has been conscripted by the small village of Potterburg. The villagers are reporting a beast. At first all they know is that the "monster" has teeth. The hunter prepares for "beast-with-teeth" scenario. However, he is interested in a refinement of the description. Is it a:
      a) Racoon?
      b) Porcupine?
      c) Badger?
      d) Wolf?
Clearly, he's a pro. The animal won't escape. How he approaches the situation does depend on the nature of the beast. Flit-3 and Philadelphia are the Badger and Wolf. This is two of three key profiles. We are still waiting on the distinction between Racoon and Porcupine.

Note: Kristi's CD player does play mp3 CDs. This should make it easier to through together a mix. Get to work!
