Notes from Steve

Last week on Ragbrai, we were talking about the concept of “high maintenance” individuals. I proudly declared that I am not high maintenance. Everyone laughed. (…long deep sigh…) I attempted to defend my status by stating that yes, indeed I require a lot of attention and focus, but … Ok,...

I’ve been waiting for Ragbrai for a couple of years. It was well worth the wait. I’m writing this on Wednesday night (I had to check what day it was). It is hot. Hot as hell, but with high humidity (the devil’s shower room, I’d imagine). The evenings have been...

Notes from Steve

I was at a restaurant the other night and a kid got locked in the bathroom and his mom had to bust him out. She bashed the door in. She was a true “mama bear” - she told the whole restaurant. We asked our waiter - who didn’t really pay...

Greg's Greetings

If you are reading this on the day The Insider comes out, I will be out of the office taking a few days off from the hospital to enjoy time with my family. If you don’t know, I struggle taking time away from work. I have this nagging sense of...

Amy's Reflections

Hopefully everyone enjoyed the 4th of July weekend and were able to spend some time either outdoors soaking up some sun or spending time with family and friends. We headed to Missouri for the weekend to celebrate the life of my very dear uncle that passed away this past year....
