my pi approves of the physicians i'm talking with at the eldercare facility. this is a relief, actually, since it seems that physicians are incredibly gossipy and judgmental about one another. i had to out myself as pi's associate to the eldercare folks for obvious reasons (and got a polite reply, which was pleasant if not necessarily interpretable). but going the other way was harder than you'd expect -- not that pi would do anything but support me in any collaborations (he's awesome that way :) but he can be *extremely* snarky, and i'm just as glad we don't seem to be going there.

(that said, my pi is also an incredible vocal mimic, and his snark often totally cracks me up :)
