I have been rereading John Eldredge’s book Wild at Heart. It seems his purpose for the book is to help men cope with their feelings of not measuring up to their father’s expectations. It delivers its punch at much the same level as the last scene in the film Field of Dreams when the father [...] Read...
The mind is a terrible thing. Last night I stumbled across part of the movie Kill Bill Volume 2. There is a character in Volume 2 named Esteban Vihaio, an eighty-something Mexican—for lack of a more erudite word—pimp. His is a small role, but performed beautifully.

It takes a lot of energy to dislike someone, but sometimes it is worth the effort. It is not easy being a consultant. One client required that I shout “unclean, unclean” as I passed through the hallways. Maybe that is why I leave newspapers scattered around the floor of my desk, so nobody...

How able are you to conjure up your most brainless moment—don’t worry, we aren’t on the EHR part yet. As I was running in San Diego I was passed by a harem of seals—Navy Seals. Some of them were in better shape than me, I couldn’t judge the fitness of the others as they ran [...] Read More...
The link below takes you to a post written by Software Advice’s Chris Thorman regarding the market share for inpatient and outpatient EHRs. It is designed to be a collaborative piece, and Chris is asking for feedback and correction. I found it to be a well-written and helpful piece, perhaps you...

The store for audiophile wannabe’s. Denver, Colorado. The first store I hit after blowing an entire paycheck at REI when I moved to Colorado.
