Cadaver Dreams

Last night, with only six sessions of dissection to go, I had my first dream about anatomy. In it, Harvey was whole again - organs back in place, skin intact, face no longer marred. I was gathering clothing in order to dress him before he was sent away. I remember feeling very sad that it was time for him to go. At the end, I patted him on the chest and said, "Thank you, Harvey. I will be a better doctor because of you."

Just a quick post to celebrate the election outcome and share some pictures from Halloween. Hoping that Sarah Palin would henceforth disappear from the US political arena and such a costume would never again be relevant, I decided to dress up as her for Halloween, complete with folksy accent and incessant winking. (My pin says "I love Real America.") I admit I was probably channeling Tina Fey as much as the real Palin, but it made for a very entertaining evening and "also too" earned a ton of laughs. Maverick!
