Pharmalot... Pharmalittle... Good Morning

Hello, everyone, and how are you today? A spot of rain has descended on the Pharmalot corporate campus, where we have successfully hustled the short people off to their schoolhouses. And not a moment too soon, either, since we have another busy day filled with reading documents, phoning people and, hopefully, learning some interesting tidbits. We know you can relate, so here a few items to get you started. We hope your day goes well and that you accomplish much. See you soon...
