Well, a month has passed. Today was my last day at work. I have worked for Eli Lilly for the last 13 years. It was good for most of that time. However, dark clouds overshadowed it about 2 years ago and now it's over. Or at least the part that I occupied has gone away. We were told that our jobs had gone to China.

I've started a company to sell some of the technology I've developed over the last 10 years for high throughput organic synthesis. I think we've got the best approach in the world. It's a bit of a niche game but it's important in the world of Drug Discovery. The company is called InnovaSyn LLC, because we have developed Innovation in Synthesis. My next step is to get some of my products manufactured for sale and to put up a web site describing just how wonderful it all is. Why is it wonderful? Because it's simple and functional. A lot of companies got into this business and made machines that were beautiful but were neither simple nor functional. They're all out of business or at least out of that business. So now I have the audacity to arrive on the scene. Well, we'll see. Later!!
