Back after a relaxing three-day weekend... not quite sure why the US needs Remembrance Day (sorry...Veteran's day), Armed Forces Day, and Memorial Day, but we get a paid holiday for it, so who's complaining.

Unfortunately, Toronto has been put back on the WHO's list of areas with recent local transmission of SARS. They are not recommending travel restrictions, but the CDC in the US has issued it's own travel alert. Not sure what, if anything, this will mean for my trip to CLA/ALA in June, except that I'll probably have to take personal vacation time. That's assuming, of course, that the reports saying that this situation is under control and will soon be contained are true, and we don't get hit hard enough to outright travel bans... the Canadian Medical Association is not convinced that the country's health community has the tools to handle these situations properly. I'm hoping they're wrong.

More response to the Patriot Act: Vive la resistance!
