Th’ Gaussling just received this photo of his good friend Paul on the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro. This is a real accomplishment and my hat is off to him. Paul is a tenured perfesser of chemistry and is accustomed to slogging up endless slopes in the rarified air. We overlap in our fascination with asymmetric lactam enolate alkylations and pyridazine chemistry.


Ask him if it’s possible to land a plane up there.
Looks like you pobably could if it weren’t for the Starbucks up there.
Helicopter, yes, if they can go to 19,300 feet. Plane, I doubt.
