It's That Time Again

Tuesday rolls around so quickly each week, and now it is finally my turn to formally request submissions for the coming edition of Grand Rounds. For those with a right-sided hemianopsia (inability to see to the right, where my sidebar topped by the words "Grand Rounds" is located) let me re-hash the following:

In keeping with the theme of "I'm not dead yet", what do you remember from long ago that has disappeared, even though you thought it would last forever? Or, conversely, what's new in your world that you never in your wildest dreams could ever have imagined? Or: what did you expect to be temporary or fleeting that has, to your surprise, stood the test of time? (Basically anything about change, or lack thereof.)

On the topic of GR themes: although I present myself as an opinionated curmudgeon, I am in reality more of a pandering wuss. Therefore themed submissions are OPTIONAL.

Submissions should be sent here, preferably with the words "Grand Rounds" included somewhere in the Subject line so that I can more easily sort them out from offers to enlarge my mortgage payments and shrink my penis by purchasing Xanax, Vicodin, and other non-prescription substances.
