Our Busy Week

After hosting 6 days of State Tournament at our ballpark, we had a few days to get the kids ready to go to Santa Barbara for baseball / softball camp. While they were at camp, Kevin and I spent a few days in Solvang, came back to work for one day and went straight back to pick up the kids. Morgan got out of camp on Thursday and Dalton on Friday, so we spent some time on the coast. We visited Solvang with Morgan then picked up Dalton on Friday and headed to Avila Beach. The sea lions were out, along with the pelicans and even some squirrels in the rocks. After stopping at the Avila Valley Farm to feed the animals (we washed our hands), we drove into Morro Bay for lunch. The beach was very windy on the north side of the bay, but the kids had fun collecting shells or little crabs.

We are finally at home again, Kevin is at work (his new shift is horrible) and the kids are at a birthday party with Nana. This week starts Regional Tournament in Kingsburg. Our 12 year old Central California State Champs face Guam on Monday. You know where we will be throughout the week.

Land of the Free, Home of the Brave!

Although my story is not as dramatic as Tara's ordeal, it was somewhat frustrating. We arrived to vote and while looking at the back of the sample ballot to ascertain which table was our sign-in area, we were of course approached by a poll worker. This was not a problem, he was just being helpful, but he had a slight odor that was enhanced by the stifling heat in the building. The woman at the sign-in table had coke bottle glasses and had to get about 3" from the page to read our names. While we were going through the formalities, the previous man asked if we were computer savvy and would one of us like to try the new electronic machine. Of course we said yes, I had read about this trial run of the machines in our local paper and was eager to see how it all worked. He went to get it ready as we were receiving our ballots. As we watched and waited, 3 or 4 other poll workers joined him at the machine and all appeared to be somewhat at a loss of how to operate the machine. The co

UOP - Organizational SWOT Analysis: A Scholarly Project

Organizational SWOT Analysis Developed in the late 1960s, the SWOT analysis, representing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, has be used to evaluate a project or business. This evaluation can then be used in the development of a decision-making plan of action based on the findings in each area. The SWOT matrix is broken down into positive and negative characteristics or elements that are either helpful or harmful to the established objective (Yoder-Wise, 2015). A SWOT analysis of the organization reveals that the strengths include having a long history and positive reputation within the community, providing comprehensive services, being a recognized teaching facility, a geographically central location with easy access, and a strong commitment to the community. Although not specifically defined within the mission and vision statements for Community Medical Centers (CMC), quality is inferred in its desire to improve the health status of the community it serves.
