Best Practices



In medicine we are always challenged to meet "best practices." This comes to us by way of manufacturing. Best practices are those techniques and processes employed to bring about the best possible result. Personally, I think best practices are those techniques and processes that have provided the most robust employment to the consulting industry.

As cynical as I may get about the consulting industry, Tam gets acknowledged for best practices today. She has not received any consulting fee and, as far as I know, there isn't a website where you can rate or read about her qualities. There isn't an industry standard of any type. like an ISO rating for moms. But Evan's Mom gets a "best practices" acknowledgement for St. Patrick's Day, 2012.

Evan just about came unglued this morning when he woke up to a trail of shamrocks and gold dots that lead him to a small box, wrapped in green, and filled with a dollar bill, 4 gold coins (chocolate, the most valuable of all) and a green St. Patrick's Day Hot Wheels car. If there were a Richter scale for holiday glee, this morning's reaction may have displaced December 25th. Five star job mommabear! Happy St. Patrick's Day.
