In ancient Greece, the asclepion was a healing temple dedicated to Asclepius, the God of Medicine. Asclepius learned the art of surgery from the centaur Chiron and had the ability to raise the dead. The Rod of Asclepius is a roughhewn branch entwined with a single serpent.

Thanksgiving
For Thanksgiving, I went over to Baltimore where a few of my friends from undergrad got together for a weekend of fun and merriment. It was amazingly wonderful. There were five of us, and we cooked an incredible dinner: turkey with stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, gravy, cream corn soup, cornbread, salad with a rice vinegar-mint dressing, apple crisp, pears with blue cheese, chocolate and pecan covered bananas, chocolate chip marshmallow cookies. I had so much fun cooking with friends and catching up with them (we had a Hopkins med student, a CS grad student, a law student, and a green development engineer). I forgot how much I love spending time with my Stanford friends. It was the most fun and happy weekend I've had in a long time. I am quite sad to go back to the real world.
