Can I tell you a story? One day, years ago, I was enjoying a hard granola bar. It was crunchy, nutty and delicious. At one point I heard something more than just a crunch. I broke part of my tooth. Being a dentist and having seen countless dental disasters, I feared the worst — losing […]
I have made some horribly bad decisions in my life… I’ll be sharing bad decision #972 … which was, setting up my 87-year-old mom in a hospital bed in my living room, surrounded by security cameras, baby monitors and cordless phones. Mom had dementia, I was trying to keep her safe; I had no idea […]
It’s nice to see that the masks are coming off and everyone is returning to their normal and happy routines. During the last eighteen months, many have shifted rapidly into virtual communication and have conducted meetings, some for the first time, via video zoom/facetime calls from their desks, tablets, and phones.
