What a long, strange month it’s been for me. I’m a little surprised that I’ve been able to pump out the two chapters I had hoped to. Shout out to Author’s Fire/Rescue for fact-checking my fire department stuff. Looking forward to the upcoming holidays.
I’d love it if you shared interesting things that YOU are reading or doing. Send me a message about a great book you’ve just read, or something else that other UF fans are likely to geek out about, and I’ll share it with my newsletter. BE SURE to sign the email the way you want your name to appear, otherwise, I’ll make it anonymous.
Don’t hesitate to hit me up with suggestions or complaints and the like.

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
On a bitter-cold day, in the December of his junior year at Harvard, Sam Masur exits a subway car and sees, amid the hordes of people waiting on the platform, Sadie Green. He calls her name. For a moment, she pretends she hasn’t heard him, but then, she turns, and a game begins: a legendary collaboration that will launch them to stardom. These friends, intimates since childhood, borrow money, beg favors, and, before even graduating college, they have created their first blockbuster, Ichigo. Overnight, the world is theirs. Not even twenty-five years old, Sam and Sadie are brilliant, successful, and rich, but these qualities won’t protect them from their own creative ambitions or the betrayals of their hearts.
Spanning thirty years, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Venice Beach, California, and lands in between and far beyond, Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a dazzling and intricately imagined novel that examines the multifarious nature of identity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love. Yes, it is a love story, but it is not one you have read before.

She changed her mind. It was Rates of CT head in high-volume trauma centers vs. lower-volume trauma centers.

I learned vector graphics so I could make a dart board to determine NIHSS scale in unexaminable patients (this is a joke for my stroke coordinator). Also respected the likely power law distribution of presentations.
