Submitted an original article to the Lancet, submitted an absract for presentation at the annual American Society of Hematology conference and reviewed an article for Blood today before heading home. I sen my wife off for a women's night out, played with the kids and then mowed the lawn. Finished the night off with a cigar and some single malt scotch to celebrate the birth of a colleague's son.
It was a good day, made possible through the sacrifices of those wearing the uniform. Thankful doesn't even begin to describe it.

"The dignity of man is not shattered in a single blow, but slowly softened, bent, and eventually neutered. Men are seldom forced to act, but are constantly restrained from acting. Such power does not destroy outright, but prevents genuine existence. It does not tyrannize immediately, but it dampens, weakens, and ultimately suffocates, until the entire population is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid, uninspired animals, of which the government is shepherd." - Alexis de Tocqueville
