Heading back home today from Seattle. Great trip up here. The weather was amazing yesterday. Its always sunny when I’m in Seattle. I think I bring a little of SoCal with me in my suitcase.

Had great meeting yesterday afternoon with Mari Kitahata who is an old friend of mine from residency. She has done amazing things and is the lead investigator for NA-ACCORD which is one of the largest and most valuable observational databases in the world. Her work there is one of the major reasons that the DHHS Panel changed the guidelines to recommend treatment for a broader group of HIV patients at higher t cell counts. It was great to see her. She looks amazing, has an incredible view from her office and, as I told her yesterday, everytime I see her, my heart sings.

Dinner meeting last night went very well. My great friends Peter Shallit and his partner Bob Clark are always so supportive and come to see me whenever I speak in Seattle. I am moved by their friendship and their passion for the amazing work they do here in Seattle with their patients. Hopefully, they will come to visit in LA or PS soon!!

Calling my flight, gotta go.
