Sleepless in Seattle

When one hears “Seattle”, the first thing that comes to mind is “Sleepless in Seattle” and I wish it would “Rain less” in Seattle. It has rained almost the entire week. Today, we have had absolutely beautiful weather. I walked around absorbing what I usually take for granted back home. People enjoying the sun, children playing in parks, joggers and cyclists enjoying their sport, students skate boarding and even a change in dress code. The “Cherry Trees” have just begun to blossom and they are absolutely gorgeous. I have been hearing about the “Cherry Blossoms” even before I came to Seattle, which seems to magically lift ones spirit. I have had an interesting and somewhat amazing week and just a sneak preview: the first of which, Janine will be trilled about is that, some of UW subject librarians are looking at the merit of using twitter to market and promote the libraries resources. The second, I attended the Medicine Morning Reports meeting and the Medicine Grand Round meeting. What is amazing is the relationship that the Subject Librarian has with the Medicine Department. This is certainly a model I would like to follow.
