This is another day with no picture taking opportunities, so I’ve pulled up one from the past. I spent a very heads-down day working on a website. I had some success and broke through a significant barrier. It’s clear to me why this functionality wasn’t implemented earlier!

During my initial visit at the end of April with the Veterans Clinic, the doctor suggested that I get involved with a weight management program the VA is offering to overweight veterans. The program is called MOVE and is something like Motivating Overweight Veterans (I don’t know what the “E” stands for). The VA’s website has lots of information, but doesn’t spell out the acronym. I went to the initial information session last week and yesterday went to the first meeting. It’s conducted by video conference out of the VA Hospital in Salt Lake City. The sessions will go for about eight weeks (I think … it may be six weeks) covering various themes.

The video conferencing technology actually doesn’t work very well. The traditional process certainly hasn’t improved very much since I was dropped from AMI Semiconductor a couple of years ago. Skype works incredibly better, but corporate mentality hasn’t caught up with that yet. In the meantime, hopefully I’ll get started on a process that’ll result in getting some of this weight off.

TTFN!
