Best Thing Going (For Monday)

Like most commuters, I ride in the same section of the same train-car everyday, primed to disembark at my proper exit. For the past few weeks, I have stood below a precious pair of ads: a spot seeking participants for a study at Columbia, reading "Is heroin a problem for you?" (quite similar to their older "Is marijuana making you depressed?" banners), placed beside a spot for "self-help guru" Lisa Nichols' new joint (...enter her world of healing at link). The ad features the phrase, "rock star of personal growth," which, especially when combined with "Is heroin a problem for you?", pleases me immensely.
