Yesterday I had my (hopefully) last appointment with Dr. Aronowitz, the orthopedic surgeon who operated on my knee last month. It was the third time I visited his office in Schenectady and the experience was quite a bit different from my previous appointments. The first thing that was unlike prior appointments was flexibility in my … Continue reading Checked at check in

C-ing past Corona
I don’t know about you, but I’m getting more than a little overwhelmed by the constant barrage of CoronaVirus related news. I’m feeling anxious and isolated and sort of cast adrift as I struggle to figure out how to do my job from home.

There’s a children’s book that I despise, The Giving Tree. … Continue reading Thoughts from the end of the world
