DJP Update 12-22-2014: 1- Holiday Greetings! 2- Upcoming Meeting and Speech 3- Lagniappe
1- Holiday Greetings! Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas. May you have a Happy New Year full of family, friends, and health. This past Sunday there was a nice story on CBS SUNDAY MORNING re the four-sided spinning top Dreidel containing nun, gimel, hay, and shin: “A Great Miracle Happened There.” Very interesting!
2- Upcoming Meeting and Speech: On January 9, 2015, the Association of Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) will have a meeting in New Orleans. I will give the Keynote dinner speech. Attend if you can.
The brochure states:
Join us on January 9, 2015
Attend both or just one.
Workshop: Thrive – Not JUST Survive XXI – Building a Healthy, Independent Practice & Dinner: Politics and Your Practice 2015
7:45pm – 8:20pm
KEYNOTE: Reflections on the Practice of Medicine over 50 years and How to Deal with Politicians. Donald Palmisano, M.D. http://www.donaldpalmisano.com/

3- Lagniappe: I received several books as gifts from friends. Here is one, THE EMERALD MILE by Kevin Fedarko, that I received from Dr. David Charles of Colorado and I am almost finished reading it. (I continue to reread certain sections!) Strongly recommend it as an example of excellent writing about the history of the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon, and yes, the dams! Vivid descriptions of the explorers of those cherished American landmarks and the gripping adventures. It is a book that encourages you to reread it if you are a student of sentence structure and how to weave history into an adventure tale. The other books I will discuss in another update.
Stay well and have safe holidays.
