Update

A flurry of posts last week, then nothing. I don't think I can do the daily thing just yet.

• Healthcare conference went very well, with well over 150 people attending, and great panelists including Rep. Kathy Manderino, the prime sponsor of the bill, and Kathy McIlvaine-Smith, who is a businesswoman from West Chester and a big proponent of single-payer. Alan Jacobs of Isaac's Restaurants was on my panel (business), and spoke passionately about the problems of the healthcare system and his desire to see single-payer work. Alan has 700 employees. Overall it was a great start to 2008 for the healthcare movement.
• Kathy said to me after her panel that we need to embrace Rendell's bill, because it doesn't block ours and has some good cost-saving elements. Fair enough--we'll take a look.
• I'm transitioning my role at the company from founding CEO to something with less day to day detail work and more forward-looking work. I'm looking forward to it but there are details to work out.
• Today I rejected a request from Philip Morris for an RFP for their corporate giving program. We simply don't sell to cigarette companies. That's not a stated policy, but it's what happens when you're a socially responsible company--it's just obvious.
• After cleaning the kitchen yesterday I did some research and vegged in front of the TV, watching a bit of football. Sometimes that's a useful waste of time.
• Looking forward to this week--diving into some long-term planning and hosting a guest from the West Coast.
