>> This American Life: 81 Words. “The story of how the American Psychiatric Association decided in 1973 that homosexuality was no longer a mental illness.” I’ll be listening to this tomorrow morning as I walk to work.
>> Weather Underground. My trusted source for weather for almost eight years now. The Seattle forecast for tomorrow features a high of 75 degrees F (that’s 24 degrees for you Celsius folk) and clear! Spring is lovely here.
>> One Bag. “The art and science of travelling [sic] light.” This was wonderfully helpful when I was traveling for medical school and residency interviews. The one bag thing is sweet. Except the liquid restrictions detract from the elegance of The Single Carry-on.
>> Daddy-O’s. Cute, vintage clothing for guys and gals. I wore this dress to recent gala. Petticoats are fun. (… though I shan’t ever admit that in person.)
>> Calendars That Work. This is part of my GTD package. I use the two-month calendar to help me stay on top of my call schedule, dinner plans, blood donations, workshops, supervision sessions, meetings… oh! And those sporadic vacations.
>> Mark Poulin jewelry. The website doesn’t do justice for the variety and cuteness of his art. His trinkets were for sale in a store on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland; it was one of the rare occasions that I actually found myself wanting to purchase jewelry.

travelling [sic] light = the British spelling, and accepted here too
I really like your blog; this is my first comment and I hate to make it an “English” think but I will anyway. I’m a university prof and it is a mild OC habit…. I know you will appreciate it as such.
I have a very good friend who is starting her psych residency in Seattle in July. She’s a returning GP in her fifties. I am pointing out your blog as a guide to the residency.
