“Oh, what a beautiful day.” Gordon MacRae’s voice from Oklahoma keeps running through my head. I woke this morning to bright sunshine, the twittering of birds and the chattering of squirrels. As I was pouring my morning coffee...
Now that the weather is warming up and we’re all starting to wear a little less clothing, I know most are paying closer attention to their skin. Folks are tanning, moisturizing, exfoliating, the whole nine. But are you paying attention to...
Tomorrow, apart from being the anniversary of my dad’s birthday, is Beltane and/or Walpurgisnacht. “Wait”, you say. “Isn’t that May first?” Well, yes, except that you have to remember that the ancients...
Ah, Spring. Busting my rear end to clean up from winter’s mess and sitting back to admire my handiwork – OUCH. It’s really pretty, now – OOOH. Although I warm up before doing any heavy work outside, I’ll admit that...
When I moved from Minneapolis to Atlanta, my allergist told me I was going from the frying pan into the fire. Atlanta lies at the very bottom of the Appalachians and all the pollen from the mountains blows down and just sits over the city as if...

and take a couple of research laps around the block before running into the health food store to purchase the latest-and-greatest “natural” product for this or that. This post is going to be a vent of a frustration that’s been...
Looking at all the news stories of the snow on the eastern seaboard this last week reminds me how fortunate I am: I have a fifteen-second commute to work four days a week. I simply get up off the couch and march upstairs to the office in the...
I miss my mind the most. How many times have you heard that joke (especially amongst the older population)? One of my favorite television programs is Sunday Housecall with Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld on FoxNews. Dr. Rosenfeld is one of the few...
