When Hospitals F*ck Up

With the amount of money that I pay for insurance premiums and deductibles, I expect the royal treatment if I ever have to take advantage of having insurance. This has NOT been the case with my last two experiences with a hospital that shall remain unnamed (but if I were to name names it would …

Progress Q1 – Final

Well. The quarter has officially ended. It's clear from the data that I have slacked off a bit. I'm kind of OK with it. At least for today. Tomorrow I may go on a self loathing tirade about how sluggish I am being, but for today.... I am OK with not hitting the exact mark …

Mississippi 7K – Recap
