I'm an anesthesiologist and it is soothing to the soul to get away from all the technology whenever I can (why I have a big vegetable garden, a woodshop in my basement, and am allergic to my computer).<br /> Back in 1993, when I was interviewing for positions, I had a hospital CEO tell me that one reason he wanted to hire me was because it was so refreshing to receive all my correspondence written by hand.<br /><br /> --Wm Brown <br /> Forest, VAbbrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02679936591494267078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14410967.post-10912688348168618362013-02-14T10:36:04.626-07:002013-02-14T10:36:04.626-07:00I made a resolution,in January, to write 365 lette...I made a resolution,in January, to write 365 letters over the next 12 months.
