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?" I seem to be having an extraordinarily difficult time writing up my discussion of these readings; I know some of the reasons why, which I'll mention in one of the discussion posts, but I'm not really sure why. Writer's block? Weather too nice, would rather play in the garden? 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.

Oh... wait... you're still here? I'm sorry... I forgot to mention that I was taking a short vacation from writing. Well, I didn't mention it, because I didn't really plan for it. In that case, I would have scheduled something ahead of time. Instead, I finished my finals,…
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…
