Here is a good place for a call to action.

We Talked about the Doctor . . .

by

Famous Doctors, that is

Hi Everyone! Every week Sandy and I try to think how to sum all that we talked about but you know it’s impossible to capture the joy, humor, and camaraderie of four hours in one simple blog post. And as much as I like taking a clever comment and sharing it here, it sure takes time and once in a while it embarrasses folks.

It was a busy night. We were talking about famous doctors – TV, radio, movies, music, books, sports, etc.

You can read all about it in the comments.

Here are some cool links we shared.

Thanks to everyone for the cool links and for being part of the conversation.

See you next Tuesday? I sure hope so.

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

Let’s Talk About Famous “Doctors”

Dr. No, Dr. Ruth,Dr. House, Dr. Seuss

Doc Severinsen, Dr. Laura, Dr. Pepper, Dr. Phil

Who comes to mind when you think about famous doctors? Here’s a few ideas to get us started:

  • Dr. Livingston
  • Dr. Seuss
  • Dr. Spock
  • Dr. Ruth
  • Dr. Laura
  • Dr. Who
  • Dr. Doolittle
  • Dr. Pepper
  • Dr. Phil
  • Doc Severinsen
  • Doc Watson
  • Dr. House
  • Dr. Quinn

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey.

Oh, and bring a link, if you have one to share.

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

We’re Talking about Stress with Ari Garber, Special Guest

Stress. Gosh don’t I know it? I’ve got enough of it in my life. But then, you do too. Who doesn’t?

So, I asked a friend, Ari, who knows a bit about the stress experience — he was a full-time trader and now he works in a firm run by four partners (all Ph.D.s). He and I thought that it’s time we talked about stress. Maybe we have ideas on how to have less stress and more fun.

We might talk about

  • What causes you stress?
  • What specific little tricks and methodologies do you use to combat it?
  • Do you focus on psychological, physiological, or holistic approaches to deal with it?
  • Do you self medicate? Do you have prescribed medication? I didn’t want to be the alcoholic cliche of a trader, but the heroin was fun… (That was a joke people)
  • Is stress just the luxury of those who have time to dwell on it?

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey.

Oh, and bring a link, if you have one to share.
