Polite Dissent

I spent the latter part of last week with the Polite-wife and the in-laws in Las Vegas. Her family is great, so visiting is always something I look forward to, but it’s exhausting too, particularly at the holidays. While in Vegas, we had the chance to catch up with old friends as well as visiting my favorite comic book store, Alternate Reality.

We returned home early Christmas evening and spent the remainder of the night and the next day with my folks, celebrating our family Christmas. It was fun, there was plenty of good food, but it’s nice to be back in our house. I have the next few days off before working in the clinic New Year’s weekend, so I think I’ll relax, play some Lego Star Wars, and — maybe, just maybe — update the Comic Book Drug Reference and maybe try out some new CSS for this site.

I’ll resume regular posting Wednesday night with a look at Rabies in Jonah Hex, followed by a look at the best and worst in comic book medicine in 2006.

In the meantime so you can get your medical fix, this week’s Grand Rounds is being held over at Blogborygmi. (Grand Rounds is the weekly collection of the best medical blogging). In addition, the 2006 Medical Blog Award nominations remain open, so head over and check out the nominees so far, or nominate one or two of your favorites.
