So here I am. Sitting by the beach. Listening to steel pan music. And thinking about all that is happening and has happened. It’s been a while. Lots of challenges. Another day for that story. Currently thinking about the multiple changes that are occurring in my private circle, family circle, work circle, community circle, nationalContinue reading “Asynchronous Hoops”

Sometimes we find ourselves racing against time, so much so that at the end of the day, it really doesn’t make a difference.

Some are already at their destination but areContinue reading “Hurry Up and Wait 2024”

It’s been a very cold few days for us here in the north east. The snow came down heavily with winds blowing and after 24 hrs we had icy grounds.

Recently I have had to take a closer look at their perspective. What is it like to anticipate your next appointment where you may or mayContinue reading “Six Months”

A lot of things are changing for me and many others this month of June. We have resident physicians graduating and going on to become independent doctors. Some people are moving on to new job positions, offices, careers, workplaces, or even retirement. The weather, though inconsistent, does feel mainly like summer and with it theContinue reading “Something New”

Today is a beautiful day for those living in my part of the NorthEast. Just stepping outside makes me feel happy. It’s Sunday and there is hope for the upcoming week.
