A lot of hard work has gone into this day. I'd like to thank everyone who made it possible: Charlie, Barn, Venk, Lumbie, our loyal readers, the med center library, and of course, the copcats.

We just gettin' started...
Boom Goes the Dynamite! We now have 1,000 hits. Did I have to hit refresh 15 times to ensure that I got the screenshot with the hit counter at 1,000? ...Maybe. Was it worth it? Absolutely.

The Little Things: Miracle Drug
Today is part 1 of a 10 week series entitled "The little things: Acknolwedging That Which Helps Me Dominate" in which I will chronicle some of the minor aspects of MS3 which help me maximize my year. Today's topic: Bruegger's Pumpkin Spice Coffee.
Calling 300 patients to arrange followup for a clinical trial? That sounds miserable. And then having one (if not several) be convinced you were prank-calling them and insist on calling you 'Joshua'? That's even worse.
But now how about doing those things with a hefty caffeine buzz? Yeah, now we're talking. Folks, this 16 oz cup doesn't just hold coffee. It holds memories of high school football, fresh cut grass, hayrides, and a season's worth of hopes and dreams in it as well. But it's only around for a couple months. And just like the Mackinaw peach, the Watermelon shake at Cookout, Sam Adams Octoberfest, and Venkman's newfound 'love of dogs'...savor it while it lasts. Because some day soon, you're going to show up looking for some pumpkin spice love and see its been replaced by wild mountain blueberry or some other winter seasonal bullsh*t.
So for now, go drink and be merry. Need to write an IRB? It'll go faster with coffee. Need to read applications? They're more energetic with coffee. Want to complete a triathlon? Start your morning with a nice steaming cup of pumpkin spice. These guys did...
Next week: The Duke "F*CK you too!" bus service.
