Bucket list

pinkfish mentioned a bucket list. I had to google it.

I found out that I don't have a real bucket list. Being told I'd die within a year (21 years ago), you'd think I have one. Especially dealing with stuff these past couple of years.

I've had one bucket item for 25 years. That's to hear a song I wrote for string quartet actually played by a string quartet. I now know someone in a string quartet. I should make that happen and get a real bucket list.

Do you have a bucket list?
If so, what's on your list of things to do before you kick the bucket?

Misread chart notes

Doctors have notoriously bad handwriting. Reading chart notes can sometimes be quite tough and/or amusing. Today I misread a lowercase "L" as a slash. What I saw: "depression / earning disorder."

H-M-Oh no

It's official: http://www.bizjournals.com/sacramento/stories/2009/08/10/daily29.html

UCSF Medical Group and Brown & Toland are severing ties. UCSF is switching to Hill Physicians HMO on 1/1/2010, which we were previously told was the worst possible option on the table.

I currently have Brown & Toland via Healthnet. My upcoming surgery is at UCSF, so I'm glad I'm having it done this year.

I think I can still have Healthnet as an HMO option for 2010, but I won't be able to see UCSF doctors. (My doctor isn't UCSF, but he often refers me to UCSF specialists.)

Last Tuesday before school starts

Dinner at El Toreador in West Portal with Cal & Dave. Mmmmmm!
