Just finished lunch. I am not sure how to convey that they serve too much food! I would have liked to only have the noodle bowl – broth with noodles but instead got a big serving of rice, some greens with garlic and a beef dish that I can only compare to a pepper steak at home. Everything was good – but I really just don’t want that much!

Today is going ok. I am trying to get them to understand the differences in risks and perceptions. There are many things that they don’t understand and I am not sure how to convey. That is frustrating.

Also, Mark told me in confidence that Pauls doctors do not want him to travel until after August so I doubt he will be here for the audit. I guess that is both good and bad. Although – perhaps they will send Ken and that would be nice. He has more direct experience with us anyways. Waiting for word on that.

Carol asked me today if I have plans for the weekend – so at least that means that they are not planning to work. Thank God!!

We have two t-Con’s tomorrow. One at 9 tomorrow night. I’ll do that from the hotel. Will work on getting out an update prior to it while at the office.

Need to confirm with Carol that we are going to Huaxin. At least for a little while I think it is important. Maybe Monday or Tuesday at the latest.

Looking forward to a light dinner tonight and exercise. I think it will be good to get some of the stress worked out! And sit in the sauna for a little bit. I’ll go home skinny J lol
