Lose the “if.”
16-Aug-07The number of excuses why we can’t do something, or the conditions that must exist, “If only….,” exceed the numbers of opportunities that present themselves.
There are realities to consider before undertaking a new opportunity, but when potential for success is high and the risk of loss is low, lose the “if.”
I’ve found that simply exploring […]
What Flavor are YOU?
15-Aug-07They were sprawled out on the sectional sofa like scattered laundry, mandibles hidden behind $1.29 plastic bags of frozen peas, eyes slitted, bodies immobile.
My two oldest children had a end-of-summer-before-college-begins preemptive assault on wisdom teeth this morning. As this surgeon played the role of the nurse, Jane went to the grocery store to get a […]
Common sense proven in the lab. Must have been a slow health-news week at CNN. In the ongoing journalistic struggle to differentiate fact from myth, an offering of science sheds light, and puts even more heat on, the health evils of laptop usage. Well, if it’s newsworthy of CNN… it’s newsworthy enough for a parody […]
Protractors
14-Aug-07August + Wal*Mart + Back to School = Protractor Purchase
My wife commented that this may be the last year we buy the annual pencil case to be filled with the additional new purchases of colored pencils, mini-stapler, brand new #2 pencils, a compass, and of course, the protractor.
For the life of me, I don’t know […]

Our Own Worst Enemies
10-Aug-07I had an interesting discussion with a savvy physician leader this week. Dean and I were discussing how downright, well… petty physicians can be.
Hey, and that’s not “physicians” like I’m referring to “other physicians,” it’s me included.
We make comments about other physicians because of our frustrations or even just because we’re having a bad day. […]
Help is NOT Coming
09-Aug-07Monday night, I stayed at the Comfort Inn in Shawano, Wisconsin, (Free breakfast, free internet access, btw… in relationship to my posting yesterday.) Â A reasonable substitute for my preferred choice when no Hampton Inns are nearby. The Comfort Inn also had an interesting sign next to the third floor elevator and stairwell.
It reads “Rescue Assistance […]
Free Stuff
09-Aug-07I like, no, love free stuff.
I’m in Wisconsin and staying at the Hampton Inn in Appleton. I like staying at Hampton Inns because I get free stuff at Hampton Inns.
Well, it’s not free. I pay for it alright, but the stuff just feels free. And that’s all that really matters, how someone feels.
I stay at […]
Plow Straight
07-Aug-07My friend John has a great garden. This summer he’s had a bumper crop of corn and squash and generously shared them with my family. But what is really remarkable about his “garden,” (it’s way bigger than 99% of most “gardens,” to me its more like a small farm), is that he plants it with […]
