Today my HVAC guy taught me how to be a better physician. As you know, it’s stinking hot in Edmonton right now, and though the heat doesn’t bother me much, we are a family of Vikings and it’s my job to help my ginger spawn survive. Cue the ominous silence from our AC unit.

@JoseHernandezDz It’s funny how people read things differently. I can see what you were trying to do now that you have clarified. I apologize for butting in with my negative spin. I stand up for people for a living. Love your work.

I couldn’t get my Uber because of “connectivity issues” so I just started walking down La Cienega until I had more than one bar.

A tiny little elderly woman was struggling with two grocery bags.

In the 8 years @DougDucey served, I've never once heard reporters refer to him as "Doug." This morning on a news radio broadcast, I heard @GovernorHobbs referred to as "Katie" a few different times. I get it. It's Day 2, but put some respect on the Governors name.

Vivek Murthy's book, TOGETHER, convinced me that loneliness was a public health problem.

This chart, via The Washington Post, confirms that belief.

Solitude can restore energy and sharpen focus. But too much time alone, and too little with friends, can erode our well-being.
