Where Are the Joy of Science Discussion Posts?

So, last week I posted the Week 4 Joy of Science reading summaries and since then...nothing. No JoS discussion posts. What's up with that?

I'd say procrastination, but then you'd ask, "why?"

But suddenly there are a zillion other things I'd rather blog about, and it's been stormy the last two days, so those can't be the only excuses.

Well, whatever; please have a little patience and I hope I will have my discussion pieces out soon.

I posted what was to be the last post on this blog yesterday. This morning, in clearing out archives (of stuff that originally appeared on the original site), I accidentally cleared out the most recent 25 posts instead of post 796-821. (Don't ask.) I'll restore the other 23, maybe, at least to one…
Lately, I seem to be having a bit of the writer's block. Yes, I'm still working, and yes, crazy things continue to happen on the job. It just feels as though it's been a while since I had a meaningful reaction to a patient or colleague interaction. I'm a little tired of feeling other people's pain…
