Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.
One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??
The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.
Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!
Wise ol’ third base coach Aristotle once said, “the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.”
Maybe Aristotle didn’t coach third. In the age of the portal, it’s hard to keep up. But I do think his saying applies aptly to a baseball team rounding third with a chance to slide into Omaha.
“The strength of this team is the team,” Alabama head coach Rob Vaughn said of his club. “And I think that's the most fun part about it is, is you've got some superstars running around the field, but the strength of it is still the unit.”
Alabama has been doubted for much of the season. The offensive numbers aren’t eye-catching. They don’t have five or six guys pumping high-90s off the mound. The defenders have been known to make a bad throw or six, and the trees around Sewell-Thomas Stadium don’t have a team full of chefs.
It’s a team easy to doubt.
That's getting a little harder though. -- For more: https://t.co/8rYen7ivnE
How many times did you say "sorry" today?
How many of those were actual mistakes?
Probably zero:
I caught myself doing this in a meeting last year.
"Sorry, quick question."
It was not a quick question.
It was an important one.
But I shrunk it before I even asked it.
You will be surprised how much more confident you
sound when you stop apologizing for existing.

This is exactly how a representative government works, folks.
The House, elected by the people, just voted to check executive war powers.
Four Republicans joining Democrats is not betrayal. It is them representing their districts’ concerns about escalation and endless wars.
Congress has the power to declare war and control the purse for a reason.
Saban has the college football world turned upside down today. I guess some of the bitterness still comes from all the butt-kickings he handed out over the years.
It took me the first few years of his Alabama tenure to realize that he genuinely cares about the game and that his words weren’t just talking points.
Some of you are criticizing him because he beat your team instead of focusing on what he actually said today in Washington, D.C.
I know it makes for a good story and generates clicks during a slow period in college football, but answer me this:
Why would a retired person of his status—someone with more money than he could ever spend—want to go to Washington and open himself up to criticism?
Maybe it’s because he truly cares about the future of college athletics.
@maverick92324@CupofMets@AnthonyDiComo He will be a qualified hitter in another 2 or 3 games and currently leads in OPS in the National League, but you keep being mad about it.
I am so proud of Team 30! Here is your friendly reminder that we are more than just the softball players you see on the field. Before commenting on someone’s performance, remember there is a human behind the jersey🤍
