You know, it was fun but it confirmed that I am straight up East Coast. We flew from LA to NYC and I immediately felt at home. Add in two more trips to NYC this month and it's a serious dose of home sweet (second) home.

*sigh* I miss LA. During the blizzards I spent a few hours browsing job ads at UCLA. I'm willing to downgrade to the no. 5 hospital if it means no blizzards (don't tell anyone at Hopkins that I said that, k? lol!)

Enjoy your trips. Enjoy the views. Enjoy being warm, and maybe dry. Come home sane, Charity will need that.

And I refuse to comment on this on the grounds it may incriminate me.

'Tis indeed sad. Will be working on it.

Yes, you should. (As the pot calls the kettle black.)

I had a patient on a theo drip once. Oh. Mah. Lawd. The temptation to duck tape him to the bed was almost too much to bear. Made the amphetamine addiction guy look calm. He kept pulling various tubes out but we had a serious talk when he decided the foley was next to go. Despite the theo, he headed the warnings that yanking the foley would not be nearly as much fun as he thought. lol!

You need to post your workout songlist. I need some new tunes in a bad way.

I took the suggestion for you, and signed up for One Year Bible Online to be e-mailed to me daily. I'm such a fanatic about reading my e-mail, that this has been an easy way to get my daily Bible reading in and stay on track.

Think we could get him to move to Ohio and run for office??

Okay! It's definitely been a LONG day! I can't believe I actually waited to see what would load. (Yes, Liz is my child!)

Have you discussed your rants with the TSA officer that attends our church??? He could give you some wonderful fodder!

I don't understand why they don't call it what it really is, A BRIBE.

Hands of anyone surprised by that? No? Not so much?

Remember that Perry Noble story about the plane in Kenya with the "In Case of an Emergency, cut here"? Aerolineas Argentinas planes are slightly better, but not much. I'm pretty sure I would have died of there was a problem on the plane. That should help you sleep better at night.

Also, Asuncion's airport is about the size of a shoebox, so pretty much nobody knows if they're boarding the right plane until they get to the actual place where they check the tickets. If I had gone to the door about five feet to the left, I would have ended up in Chile.

Oh, I used to read this book to Daniel, too! It was one of his favorites! And mine! :-) I would finish it and he would say, in his little boy voice..."Again, Mommy, again!" Hopefully, I'll get to read it to Jaylon, too!! :-)

Re: Under Promise, Over Deliver

Everyone needs a reminder of the basics of business and this post is one of those reminders. I've tried to live by this rule myself as a director and senior manager of corporate communications. We're an internal service provider developing content, messaging, and providing graphic and website services. I've come up with three or four canned phrases that help to set our customers expectations. Here are a couple you can try out yourself:

"No promises, but based on what you've told me we're looking at a two-week job." (Translation - I'm confident the team can deliver within five days.)

"Friday is going to be tight request based on our current workload. We'll do our best." (Translation - Friday is doable.)

"We've got three other priority projects in-line in front of yours. I'll see what we can do. Best case right now you're looking at Wednesday before this will be done. (Translation - Monday is more likely)

"Getting this to you by Thursday will only be a problem if something with more priority is required. Worst case, you will get this midday Friday. (Translation - They will get it Thursday midday.)

This approach works with a team "if" you have a great grasp on your project load, your production schedule and your team's ability to execute consistently. As Don Ryan says in his post above.

"If you make a promise, keep it. If you aren’t sure you can deliver, under promise. If you fall short, no worries. If you exceed, good for you."

We've been doing this for some time now but still in the process of training facilitators so those of us that got drafted do it every. single. week. Looking forward to phase 3 when we expand it to the whole church and drop it to once or twice a month. ;)

Ross, what is this platform rocker of which you speak? Does it involve letting him "have the floor"? Doesn't sound like such a great idea for someone with dementia. ;) His wife might help you have a little "accident". Haha! Can't wait to call my mom and get the inside scoop on this. lol!

Ours went really well and everyone participated. Your Uncle Ralph said he really enjoyed himself. We told him that we would put his name on our platform rocker for future meetings.

"Under promise, Over Deliver" This is so true! I come face to face with it frequently at work. A co-worker has made a promise to a customer, and then failed to deliver for whatever reason. I get the angry customer face to face, and have to resolve the situation as best as possible.
