JJ:
The more time I spend with you the more I love you. So many years have passed since our days at Wash U. You followed me to Merck, the first time. You followed me to Amgen - it was fun hanging out and chasing balls in Montecito - I really miss that place. You followed me to Merck, the second time. You are such a loyal dog...and I was able to find you a senior position on my team every time. Now, for real, we have some work to do. Peter left us with such a mess, he was seduced by the English wankers. They sound good, if you like that kind of thing, but have failed to deliver - seems like a Downton Abbey version of Merck.
JJ the time has come, no more shagging balls for me. It is time to rebuild R&D ! Are you ready my loyal dog ? Time to make those changes...let's go get 'em !! Many more T-bones and Helicopter rides for you ! Fine dinners in Manhattan if you make this happen !
