The Times They Are A-Changin

Last Tuesday CardioDynamics shareholders approved the deal to be purchased by SonoSite, which was finalized yesterday.

I know that being "absorbed" is a common occurrence in corporate America.  But reading about it and going through it are two different things.  We're just starting into the transition period. Whether it's good or bad, I think one reason change is so difficult is that it's always a process that you have to work through.  Getting used to a new corporate culture will take time and patience.

The harder part of course is that some of the people you have come to know and respect will move on to other opportunities.

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us. [Quote by Alexander Graham Bell]

This is a good thing because they have seen the new open door and will be taking advantage of it. What's good for them is good for me too.

It may be a little weird (maybe not?), but as I've been going through this I periodically have one of these songs going through my head:

• David Bowie:  Changes:  Ch-ch-changes...
• The Who: Won't Get Fooled Again:  Meet the new boss; same as the old boss...
• Bob Dylan: The Times They Are A-Changin
