Jackson Time

Tonight Jon, Ali and I had dinner at a restaurant, Saltgrass. The food wasn't nearly as fun as Jackson. If he was a dessert he would have been in the menu under "very sweet". He sleep on and off but was never fussy. A joy to be around. Ali asked if I had any parenting wisdom. I made some reflection, but was thinking...if you want to be great parents, have a cool kido like Jackson, you can't go too far wrong. (grandpa)

Debra In DC

In the fall of 2005 I had an opportunity to participate in a national conversation on the elements of a benefit package and deployment of an Electronic Health Record (EHR) design that would include behavioral health information. Questions like who would be the owner on the information, confidentiality protections, and interoperability. Possibly boring in a non discript DC hotel, but Debra came along and made after hours fun. She found a funky hotel for lodging some blocks from DuPont circle and near a Whole Foods for healthy eats. The stay was at the Hotel Helix http://www.hotelhelix.com/ and that in itself was a trip. The pictures are from the National Gallery of Art and we had a blast at the showings. The picture of the prodigal son was one that touched us at that particular time. Of course, Mary Cassatt and the impressionists picked up the visit. Below are a few pics of Debra at the museum, frame able. David
