wishes and dreams and various other things

Today is, in no particular order: Tuesday, SOP day, and better than yesterday. If I'm really lucky, the SOP meeting will take half an hour and I'll be out of here by 5:00.

The question is, what do I want to do with myself tonight, post-SOP? I know what I should do, and I know what I could do, and they have very little in common.

I'm dreaming up all sorts of impossible scenarios whereby I really do get to move back to Brighton. So far the best one involves taking the last two weeks of August off, painting the place for a week, moving in the week after, and going for a longish walk on Saturday, September 1 (weather permitting) and laughing at the gridlock of moving trucks I'm not part of. (It's the 15th Commandment; if thy new apartment is in College Student Central and September 1 falls on a weekend day, thou shalt move in during the week before if at all possible. Otherwise it's a lot more trouble than it really should be.)

It's nice to be able to dream again.

For the Grammar Nazis out there...

I have no idea what the answer to this question is, but it's been bugging me for ages now.

Which is correct:

1. "Proposal to appoint John Q. Public, M.D., as Professor of Medicine"
2. "Proposal to appoint John Q. Public, M.D. as Professor of Medicine"

If it were "proposal to appoint John Q. Public, superhero, as Professor of Medicine", it would need the comma. But since M.D. is a title, I don't know what to do with it.

Opinions?

before I forget...

Breaking one of my own rules here, but gotta get this down.

Really Good Chicken Stuff

Poach 2 chicken breasts in 1 cup white wine, oregano and 2 cloves cracked garlic. Remove chicken and garlic from wine, add 1 bottle drained marinated artichokes, 1 small can drained diced tomatoes, a squirt or so of lemon juice, pepper and a teaspoon and a half of capers. Cover and heat through. Cut up chicken in chunks and add back in. Cover and heat chicken through. Optional: add asparagus, turn heat down to medium-low and steam until done. Put over pasta of some sort. Makes really good lunch.
