Enjoying NorCal immensely today.
Spent the morning in the sun and breeze fixing up my work shed. Napped, then went to Napa- ate along the river and am now at intermission of one of my favorite bands. 40 years of music.

But the great new discovery was at theSideDoor.net. Trey Hensley and Rob Ickes. Incredible playing and voice.

Last week was Iron & Wine who really impressed me. With Nathaniel Ratliff- hampered by booming acoustics at Bill Graham Civic. Good time with Cam and Kari, though.

I think I’ll move my concert postings here from Insta- denying content from the oligarchs.

So many thoughts - I can’t add much.
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Perhaps I've misunderstood all along and WaPo ownership views "Democracy dies in darkness" as aspirational.🤔

Ride in today characterized as oceans of wet leaves. But I kept the rubber side down. Anything else I accomplish today will be a bonus.

Sharing something I wrote for a lay audience. I serve on the quality measurement committee for the American College of Physicians. We’re trying to improve quality without burdening clinicians. This episode is about managing pain. #informatics

Measuring health care quality is hard. Assessing chronic pain is hard. Measuring quality of pain management is really hard.
Measuring it has changed how we do it over the past few decades.
