I had quite the experience today:

I was asked by the owner of my dental practice to write and make a video which would be distributed to our 14,000+ patients. OMG, every word I wrote I agonized over, every adjective, every assurance. I am SO AWARE of the power of words to people, particularly from people in positions of authority in their respective fields. It was agonizing, but I think it turned out rather well. If I don't say so myself...

BTW, it was everything I could do not to throw in a statement about not injecting bleach or Lysol, or sticking a black light down their throats. Of course, I didn't: the political persuasions of the practice vary and, for all the laughs I might get, the angry phone calls, recriminations, and requests for records might jeopardize my position.

I wanted to more than anything, however!!!!!

How long it will take for one or three of his flock to actually try that? The others will say he was just joking.

Weird times!
