It’s an I Hate Monday, so let’s pick something to hate. So many choices… For now, let’s just go with a single word. For more (in a different vein than the typical bullying story) watch this spot. And read this week’s Medical Examiner, in print and online here Friday.
A special message for Medical Examiner readers
The Surgeon General sent us this just moments ago. The CDC doesn’t even have it yet.
It is Hump Day.
Time for a brief little hiatus to get us over the hump and off to the rest of the week with a fresh start. This, ladies and gentlemen, is a work of art, visually and aurally. Savor it. We Were Wanderers On A Prehistoric Earth from James W Griffiths on Vimeo.
I LOVE HANNAH
I love her attitude. And you will too. Promise. As I watched this, I thought of my own encounters with cancer and the many people I know who have been and are locked in a face-to-face duel with this scourge. I thought of the lonely hours, the sleepless nights, the fear of the unknown, how fleeting and precious life is, …
I HATE MONDAY
Yes, friends and neighbors, today we launch a new feature. Every Monday let’s have a brief chat about something that is – or certainly should be – enthusiastically hated.

Ok, if this doesn’t work, we’re giving up. Our Internet consultant says we’re close, but still no cigar. Numbers are up, but still not where they should be. The cute kitty was just ok. The naked couple in bed was just a minor hit. The red-hot mama that we thought would be our ticket to more visitors than Amazon and …
Even newer and more improved
Our Internet consultants have further advised us on ways to increase traffic to the Medical Examiner website and blog. Apparently our two most recent efforts have not worked.

Newer and More Improved

Get a couple of half-naked people in bed, they tell us, and your blog will get so much traffic you might blow up the Internet. Well ok. Here goes nothing.
New & Improved!
We’ve been advised that we can dramatically increase traffic to this blog page by spicing it up a bit. One suggestion has been to include more pictures of kitties. You mean like this?
