I’m pretty sure that most of you didn’t notice that I was completely off the grid this last week. I was high up in the mountains at a high adventure scout camp enjoying the beauty of God’s creations while shooting guns, mountain biking, saling, hiking and many other amazing adventures. It’s actually a great thing for me to do it. It is great fun to work with fine young men and see them have these amazing experiences, but it’s also a great way for me to recharge. Hopefully you didn’t notice my absence since I scheduled the posts to appear as usual throughout the week.

This week I’m actually “on vacation” as well.  I’m in Rochester, NY where my wife is from. Although I’m never far from work. I’ll be spending some time posting as usual. Plus, I’m hoping to have lunch with a reader of this site while I’m here.  I’d love to meet other readers from Rochester if you’re free sometime too.

Not to mention, I met someone today that is a PA in DC and we talked for a little while about EMR. It’s always interesting to get new perspectives. Plus, I’m always amazed at how little these clinical people really know about the details of the stimulus. I guess that’s what happens when you eat, sleep, and drink it every day. This PA from DC also made me excited to go to DC sometime soon. So, if you know of a must attend healthcare IT conference happening in DC, let me know. I’ve never been and I now have a number of reasons to go out there. Plus, I’ve been itching to go to a conference. Of course, I’d love to meet any DC readers as well.

More tomorrow from the beautiful upstate NY. I’m not use to all this green.
