Sunsets

Bright red orb on the horizon...one of the most amazing sunsets I have seen to date. A few hours later pelting rain, lightening and thunder. I was tempted to go walking. Warm rain...hot rain....

Reviewed the deck yesterday and Mike seems very pleased with what has been completed. We reviewed the Risk Model as the second qualifying project...not a true DMAIC as the measure is qualitative in general, but he can see from the analysis the questions have been interpretted and therefore not commensurate across all records. Specific populations will not move based on services provided, but for those in Tier II, which is where we see the impact of these questions...fix is going into place. Unknown if this is the second write-up, although I am on the verge of rewriting the model and implementation in July. The other project, and perhaps a component of this...replica data from the dw environments - dev/qa retention and utlization. This specific piece can be written up to qualify. The save from this portion of the PhaseII is upward of 1.4MM. PhaseII actually hits strategy in place of the purely tactical. At the end of all of this, I think there will be approximately 5MM in save...half our department goal which would put us in a great space for the merger.

Incredibly tired. Find my mind wandering, unable to read, unable to process the information. The shape of the letters yes, but it's just a visual...ends there.

I found a club that meets on weekends and they climb trees. Wonderful. That's amazing. Like blowing bubbles and openning a new box of crayola crayons...when one took nothing for granted but was absorbed in how brilliant those shiney new crayons were.

This is life...step outside the self-imposed boundaries....
