100% yes. Rocca does a great job unpacking the issue.

But people in the design studio rarely saw Mr. Cook, who they say showed little interest in the product development process—a fact that dispirited Mr. Ive.
Great reporting by Tripp. Things make more sense now.

The point of having primary care is so that they can help you avoid unnecessary Urgent Care/ER visits. Not very useful when you need to be seen, and instead of talking to a scheduler, you’re asked to leave a… voicemail. I’m sure I’ll be hearing from them very soon.

A key to a healthy reading habit is to be curious enough to read a variety of subjects and genres, but discerning enough to put down books that aren’t enjoyable.

Book Review: Path of the Assassin 📚
June 28,2019My enjoyment of Brad Thor’s Scot Harvath series continues. I picked up this book and finished it a day later. To call the books in this series “thrillers” is an understatement.
I particularly enjoy how Thor rips current events from the headlines and weaves his story into them. It’s plausible while not being frightening. Like a Bond or Mission Impossible film, Thor takes his readers to new and exotic locations, which is fun.
I can’t wait to keep reading the series, but I’m going to head back to nonfiction for a few books. The problem with books like these is that they’re so exciting that I spend all of my time reading and my other tasks fall to the wayside.
Would I recommend: YES

Book Review: Lions of Lucerne 📚
June 26,2019After finishing Spymaster, I had a plan to go back to my nonfiction backlog. But I couldn’t stop reading. So I went back to the first book in the series, The Lions of Lucerne.
The book was fine, if not a bit overdone. Thor’s novice status in this, his first book, was evident. He told a good story but, unlike the later books in the series, this one had some pretty unrealistic elements. It required a bigger dose of suspension of disbelief than Spymaster.
Either way, I finished the book in two days and enjoyed every minute.
Would I recommend: YES
