The reason I ask is that my wife is a researcher for Collateral Therapeutics in Sorrento Valley and I know a number of biotech firms are either there or in the N. Torrey Pines area.
Wouldn't THAT be a hoot!
Me, I was born & raised in Oregon (Portland) but I'm a surburban boy through & through. Amazingly enough, even though I'm 1000 miles south of my old stomping grounds, UC doesn't look THAT much different from my home neighborhood. Only sunnier. And drier.

yes, i'm a graduate from UCSD (1988!) in Biochem/CellBio and have worked in Biotech ever since... now in the computational side of things. I've worked at Hybritech, Mycogen, Stratagene, and now Chemnavigator...
I love the Portland area and been bird watching and photographing on Sauvie (?Spelling) Island a few times... i have a friend who has a place in Hood River also...
Small world!

    I try not to touch a computer on days beginning with "S"! Especially on a weekend in which a buddy was turning 40 and about 22 people got on limo buses and headed to Temecula for a day of serious partying. Hoo boy, yesterday was too bright! Not to mention loud.
    Yes, it is a small world. Let's see, Lila (wife) was @ UCSD from 1991-1997 earning her Ph.D. in molecular pharmacology. You probably know a few if not a lot of the same people. She was in Dr. Joan Heller Brown's lab.
    Yes, I still AM going, "WOW!" He played "The Fifth Element," as I'm sure he did for you, and I just stuttered in amazement. Yesterday my toddler (2 next month) and I watched all kinds of movies including "Fantasia 2000." Absolutely superb. I am very pleased and even Lila (who's usually fairly tight-fisted) thought it was worth the $$$. I didn't tell her about Gregg's travel fee though; that'll be our little secret.
    Gregg told me all about your place -- sounds nice, placid, relaxing, a real getaway from the urban grind. For a suburban place, though, our house is relatively peaceful as well. We only have neighbors on one side as the other three are sloping backyards & the neighbors' homes are quite a bit away, which is nice.
    Can't wait to get more movies in from NetFlix!!!

        Fermented fruit of the vine.
        Great friends, good food, abundant libations and plenty of sun -- what could be better?

        Unless you're a teetotaller -- even if you are -- it's worth a visit. The wineries have come a long way and it is quite bucolic and rural in atmosphere . . .
