Bah, humbug! Way too much optimism on this thread for an old Scrooge like me! All these accolades for Sports and MC (mystery consultant), enough to gag on! In the spirit of full disclosure, allow me to share a few things about Temecula, where I understand this Rancho Medical place, and apparently Sports, is located (that's two strikes before you even step into the batter's box). The faint of heart need not read on. Initially, it causes me to believe that MC must be someone in the Temecula area; I mean, would anyone from a civilized area go to Temecula for anything (other than a six year sentence)? They may even have open carry laws there, yes, it's kinda like Texas without the hats! Temecula is best known for a casino, for goodness sakes! The Temeculans would like to tell you they are known for their vineyards and their dry climate, but sophisticated people from the big city know different, and smile knowingly to each other when they hear that. Put it this way, when you order a wine from a Temecula vineyard, you refer to the vintage by month. It gets so hot there, people's brains start to ooze from their ears. They only got indoor plumbing about twenty years ago. Temecula wouldn't even have been discovered had it not been for the awful traffic along Interstate 5 between LA and San Diego, Temecula is on the alternate inland route. Ever since I learned that Sports was "operating" out of Temecula, I figured she was on the lam. Perhaps she killed a man who done her wrong? Or she embezzled from the NJ mob and had to take her Real Housewives of New Jersey looks to a place even they dare not follow. This place still has covered wagons as the main mode of transportation. I'm telling you, this place is so God-foresaken, the US government didn't even take it all from the Indians! I understand that they tried to get Spiro to come out there and address the doctors, all expenses paid, best suite at the Motel Six, free buffet and $25 in gaming chips at the casino, and he turned them down! And he lives in South Florida, I thought anyone who lived there would do about anything to get out. And what Sports writes about the "high-rollers" doing their cross-fit? Well, in Temecula, a high roller is a euphemism for McDonald's manager or dry cleaners impressario (they just hang the laundry up on the roof there, it's dry in no time). And of course they were interested in the ticker symbol, that is, once Sports told them what a share costs - they could buy round lots! Heck, MNKD is considered a blue chip stock in Temecula. And going around town inhaling on a Dreamboat every time she sees a group of men - she's fortunate not to have been arrested! Again, I just want everyone to know what this budding hotbed of Afrezza is really like - but this stretches "from humble beginnings" to the limit. Now, don't get me wrong, Temecula is no Hemet; Hemet is where you go if you can't make it in Temecula. So Sports has that going for her! On the bright side, this doctor Rahman, well she teaches and works at Loma Linda. Loma Linda is considered the "Beverly Hills of Temecula." Now we're talkin'. Right in between Temecula and Loma Linda is Paris - well how about that! Oh, sorry, "Perris." If you ever see a creature with a dog's head on a monkey's body, you can be pretty sure it came from Loma Linda, and I doubt Sports will refute me there! I'm gonna take a shot at the identity of MC. Are you ready? Drum roll - Hakan!! Yes, it's got to be him. He's the perfect Temecula resident, and likely went straight there for retirement after leaving MNKD. Hate to spoil you big surprise. Also, I understand Hakan has a dynamite cross-over dribble, and a pure stroke from outside the arc, so the basketball thing jives, too. Tell me I'm wrong Sports, ha, I figured this one out, didn't I? So one question must be nagging all of you - how does baba have so much time on his hands for such frivolity? Well, it is a three-day weekend, and I wanted to stall as much as possible before analyzing a lease - you wanna talk about excitement! Good luck and Godspeed, Sports and MC, you guys are walkin' the walk!

Those covered wagons would have disappeared long ago if it hadn't been for those damn DUI laws. Actually, I think Temecula is where the term, "on the wagon" originated. Falling off the wagon in Temecula means that you're drinking again because there is a wine bar at every corner. No matter where you you fall off, you're covered. Oh, and you forgot to mention the horses. You really need to watch your step if you're walking the walk in that town.

baba, Ha, ha, ha, It's the OC snob parade! I know it well! When I first drove down Front St Temecula it was dirt. We had drive up dairy's to get milk. The rich retired business men are real. They drag their wives here from the OC. Buy 20 acres of avocados. Grab a hat and think they are a cowboy in the old west. The wives hate it! Say there is nothing to do. They still drive back to the OC to get their hair done! No joke. But I grew up in Riverside, now that's really the wrong side of the tracks, right baba? So Temecula is a step up!!

More good news:-) A consultant with MNKD who had been interduced to Dr. Combs through E-mail by me started talking on the phone and ended up agreeing on a time to get together. Dr. Combs told me he was very impressed with the man. That he was passionate about Afrezza and very articulate! Thursday morning Dr. Combs came into the gym and we did cardio together. He was excited. He said he had his first person he could put on Afrezza! ( Think ten times Dr.Oz! ) Then he asked what time the man from MNKD was coming Friday. I told him that he was coming early and getting a work-out in with me, and then was meeting with Dr. Rahman. www.ranchofamilymed.com/our-staff/providers/dr-maisara-rahman/Walt said, great! Tell him I'll meet him on the courts at 8:00 and will get a game of hoops in. I'm thinking.. this is going to be awesome! More time to talk about Afrezza. It all worked out as planned:-) They played hoops for about 10 min... They only played for ten minutes? You must have worn the poor guy out!

Nylefty: He wants to remain anomymous. At least for now:) I could al most imagine the following: Hi, I'm a consultant for MannKind and am passionate about Afrezza but I can't risk having my name made public because Big Pharma could ruin me or hurt my family. I'd like to meet and discuss how great Afrezza is on the condition that you do NOT reveal my identity.

I would think that the parties involved certainly know who he is, even if the consultant doesn't see the need to get involved with a stock investment discussion board or zealous board members hassling him for information.

Of course they know who he is, even under my joking scenario. Thought that was obvious.
