...but you kept? What? I was never very good at biology. White blood cells? Plaque?

This is my interpretation (but I am no expert). They take one whole unit of red blood cells and two to three units of plasma (two to three times what they would get when they took whole blood) and they give you back your platelets along with some saline solution (my least favorite part... cold in your veins isn't fun). Since I have O- blood, it would be best if I could give double red blood cells but I am not tall enough (but I could maybe do this if I went to one of the blood centers instead of a drive).

Spent the day so far unsuccessfully searching for a home in Alexandria, VA. Really like the area and commute but haven't found anything I want yet.

Welcome :) I love it here. Where were you looking?

Old Town so far but I am heading farther out now by the Van Dorn stop Cameron Station, I think, to look at Townhomes.

Cameron station is pretty nice but not very central and Duke St can be a bitch of a commute during rush hour.

I was actually just intending to take the blue Line right to my office and avoid driving altogether.

Well that would work well. They have a commuter bus to the Van Dorn I believe. My wife takes Metro but I drive (because of location etc it saves about 30min each way for me).

Sipped an overpriced latte at SFO while waiting for Richard Branson's finest to ferry Jo and I back to the UK.

And double posted it would appear.

Safe travels, and have a great trip. I hope Claire sent that email but she will shortly if she hasn't yet. Cheerio!

Claire's email arrived safe and well, albeit a bacon free Top 10. Will endeavour to rectify this omission somehow :)

plain pop-tarts of frosted generic. best i can do.

Knowing you, you'll roll your own pastry dough with 15 year old starter, crush fresh local fruit with the best cane sugar, find the best pop tart bakery pan, bake it to the flakiest perfection, then frost it with homemade frosting made with fresh country shortening and hand churned butter.
