I forced myself to go to the doctor’s office today for an appointment to talk about having an appointment.  I know that sounds absurd, but I wanted to see if I really needed one.  The doctor assured me that I did and scheduled me for November.   (What the heck does that mean?)   I’ve committed to it in an Outlook sort of way (which means I’ll get a reminder 2 weeks before to find an excuse to cancel it).    As I was walking out, an administrator wheeled  a mountain of colorful files onto the elevator with me.  I looked at her with shocked amazement and said “are you still doing this stuff on paper?”.  She replied, “We won’t be in 3 months, but don’t worry, I’ll still have my job, the functions will just change” .  I hadn’t really asked that, but at least I know why in our digital society it has taken so long…

David Poppie has a healthy appreciation for putting pencil to paper.
