After a good night's sleep at Mile 122 at Mom and Dad's, I have arrived at the York Hospital. This facility is part of Wellspan which is member of my employer, GS1 Healthcare US. That means they pay my salary, but it also means they know something about the value of the GS1 standards which I hope to help them implement this year.
The morning is very cold but clear. When I crossed the Susquehanna River, the river seemed to be frozen still- but it wasn't. It is about 1/3 of a mile wide here and beautifully framed by modest hills on either side. York is an industrial town plopped into the middle of farm country. Center city seems tired and gray, but winter has a way of portraying a city that way; especially after a major snowfall when road salt paints gray blotches on everything.
It will be a fast turn-around today since I will have exactly 4 hours to walk out the Yorker Hospital door and in the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center door. It is hopefully one of the last days I have any urgency to my trip. Sitting here relaxed in the cafe with time to type this on my Droid certainly helps to start the day peacefully. I'm not hungry, as usual in the morning, so I'm not eating... but I will have no time for lunch so it may be a long day. In Pittsburgh I hope to grab one of those fun sandwiches with fries in them from "Permangie?" Brothers. You've seen them if you have watched a few Steeler's games since they are a landmark establishment.
Off now to walk the halls a bit and a feel for the facility.
