-or- my name in print

I knew it was coming. I had been planning on it since May of this year. But it was still a thrilling feeling.

I tore the plastic cover from the tome, turned to the table of contents, and there it was. Flip to page 2 thousand something and caught my breath. There it was.

My name in print. Co-author. So, those who want to read our hard work and see my name immortalized (ha ha) in the scientific literature can run to the closest newsstand and pick up the December volume of The Journal of Urology. There we are.

Sort of silly to get excited about, but nevertheless it is a satisfying feeling to have a publication in the preeminent Urologic publication. I'm going to have to get some more.

Thanks InBloom. It really is exciting to see. I have been showing some people. Of course, their eyes glaze over as they glance through it, but oh well!

Good job BlueDev. Does this also make you a urology 'wizz'?

I had to check twice to make sure it hadn't been already taken.
