Such poor, such bare, such lewd, such mean attempts,
Such barren pleasures, rude society,
As thou art match'd withal, and grafted to!"

Relaxing with an IPA before mentally preparing for new week of clinic.
This stuff is pretty tame. Don't know if it will get me buzzed. Probably won't get it again...

Didn't have a patient die today. But one of them told me her son had died of a heroin overdose.
I hadn't visited with her in almost a year. Her son died last June. She was so distraught that she took up heroin herself again. She managed to get clean again, and was still clean as of today's visit.
But the vicious circle keeps on turning around and around...
That's what makes it vicious.
And a circle...

Will Shakespeare is nowhere to be found. Having a drink without him. He'll turn up. Ask me anything.
