  • The Healthcare Quandry

    The Healthcare Quandry

    Most of my career was spent in healthcare, working in IT for providers, coordinating third party payments, and being a consumer battling with crazy multi-layered payment systems. I was lucky enough to be healthy in my youth and get by without insurance (although my feet still point in different directions thanks to breaking my ankle…

  • Loss and Sadness

    Today I went to work expecting a great day. My young friend Chris Merris was coming back to TheraDoc, and it’s always a good thing to have sharp people around you. The mood of the day suddenly shifted as I found out that Jeff Knell, another new friend at work had died over the weekend.…

  • Serenity

    Serenity

    A project manager has to be able to be in the moment and calmly react to any situation in order for a plan to succeed. Reacting to everything that might go wrong, or things that don’t help to achieve the goals of the project doesn’t get us to the product of the project (our “ends”…

  • Just Git’R’Done on Gun Control

    When I was in third grade, we lived in Fairbanks Alaska, and I wanted to be a grown up. Because Alaska is frontier wilderness, a lot of the activities I remember were around doing things in the outdoors with the family. I wanted to be grown up, so I got a paper route (at eight years…

  • Mourning Loss of our Public School Programs

    I was struck by the power of unintended consequences while watching a show about the science of dyslexia. What hit me the most was a segment of the show where they were talking to a successful business man who had struggled with dyslexia his entire life and found a place he could succeed in the…

  • Why can’t we all just get along ?

    I am going to break one of the rules of social media and talk about politics. I’ve had lots of conversations with people I know who generally share my views on issues, but being disenfranchised and fear based, have the strong feeling that politics should never be talked about. And to a point I agree.…

  • Waves of Grief …

    I was reminded today of the peculiarly clever way that grief occurs over time. I was watching a documentary on Teddy Kennedy yesterday and was struck by the depth of feeling I had to his words at his mother’s funeral. He spoke about how she would be greeted by all the other family members who…

  • Turning Away from Economic Depression to Optimism …

    I think a lot about how negative thinking affects the world, even more so recently with all of the depressing news reports. Take the example of a financial advisor telling people to cut back on their weekly coffee in order to put more money into their savings as a hedge against hard times. A well…

  • We have a new President !

    I took the day off and spent it at my father-in-law’s house, watching all the excitement in Washington D.C. I was still thinking about how emotional I felt watching Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech on the drive over the bridge. My wife hadn’t been there when King’s speech aired, so I pulled…

  • Martin Luther King Day – I Have a Dream

    Today is Martin Luther King Day. One day before the biggest inauguration since George Washington, and only 46 years since the famous “I Have a Dream” speech was delivered on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Unlike Steve Martin, I was not born a poor black child. I was however very lucky to be raised…
