Lord Have Mercy

I had to take my girlfriend to the emergency room last night (she's ok now : ), and since she lives quite near Mercy Hospital, a place that occupies priceless waterfront property just like Mt. Sinai on Biscayne Bay, that's where we went.

I'm just writing this to say how wonderful the staff was and how nice we found the hospital environment. My only concern was that our doctor looked like he stepped out of a soap opera, but that's pretty standard for Miami. People tend to be really, really, ridiculously good-looking here. I'm not sure that my girlfriend was paying attention to what he was saying, but the nurses that followed were conscientious and informative. A+'s all around, Mercy Hospital.

In their honor, I'm posting one of the most beautiful (Marvin Gaye) songs ever written (sorry about the cheesy sunsets, but this was the only one I could find with an embed code) -

25 Smackers

Dollars, bucks, greenbacks, clams, dead presidents, big ones. 25 of 'em.

If you would like this amount of moolah in your pocket (and by "pocket," I mean "a number designated to an account that you open"), go to ING's Sharebuilder and open an account by May 25th, using the promotion code MAY25. Open the account with a minimum of $25, and they will match that amount.

Now you've got half a C note that you can start trading and become the next Warren Buffett. Then you can move to Omaha and drink all the cherry Coke you want, and maybe update your glasses once every 20 years. Looking sharp.
