Don't know who nominated this blog for a 2009 Medical Weblog Award - but thanks.

And then, the nomination was elevated to finalist status.

We're kind of a fish out of water in this category, since all the other finalists appear to be doctors - and I'm just an old journalist.

But then again the other finalists write about llamas, cooking and eating (sometimes), and other far-ranging topics you can check out for yourself. And you should check them out - because you'll undoubtedly encounter some new and intriguing blogs and bloggers.
