Ready, Set, Go!

We're off. After packing the boxes, loading up the car, and getting a special send off from the Modesto staff, I'm ready to hit the road. The staff made sure I have plenty of power bars, energy drinks, and trail mix to keep me nourished along the way. A very special thanks to Angie Adams for helping above and beyond in organizing and assisting in the packing - a true friend and colleague.

I'm prepared for the highways, overpasses, deserts, and mountain tops armed with some interesting audio books to pass the time. "Where Have all the Leaders Gone?" - Lee Iacocca, "Blink" - Malcolm Gladwell, "Einstein, His Life and Universe" - Walter Isaacson, and "Social Intelligence: the New Science of Human Relationships" - Daniel Goleman. I hope to receive inspiration from these books along with the inspiration and great hospitality of members and health information professionals along the way. I'll make sure to take some time out to appreciate the nature and the beautiful countryside.

Thanks for all your well wishes.
