Sullivan's and Creme Brule:

Tonight I experienced one of those unique pharmaceutical waste of money experiences-don't get me wrong, I went and enjoyed but it is a outrageous waste of money and pisses me off when I think of how much medication could be provided to patients for what was spent tonight.

A meal was provided at a very fancy resturant called Sullivan's for about 45 providers. I am talking about bottomless wine glasses, appetizers, salad, a main course of steak, salmon or tuna, and desert of creme brule. One presenter was local the other was brought in from Seattle. It was 2 1/2 hours and the noise was awful from the resturant, everyone was tired, it was dark to maintain the ambience and people just plained talked through the second presenter.

Interestingly, I saw the same presentation (same sponsers and same slides different presenters) in Texas. I drove to Lubbock, paid $25 and sat in a classroom for 4 hours. Guess which time I actually learned something????

Supposed to snow tonight. I have a 12:30 appointment to look at an apartment on the lower hillside that is wonderful and half the price of this one-I am competing with several other renters so a little positive energy would be good.

More tomorrow. We are off for the next 3 days!
