Dogs or cats? I often rail against false choices.The pandemic brought a lot of those into the discussion. For example, we were to choose between education and health; children were less susceptible to infection, so we needed to send them to school, and who cares if a few teachers die for the good of theContinue reading “Cats or Dogs?”

Aged Like a Fine What?
What do you think gets better with age? They say wine gets better with age. It can also go sour. I guess it depends on how you store and treat your bottles. The same is true of human beings. The cosmetic ad that proclaimed, “You’re not getting older, you’re getting better” assumed the application ofContinue reading “Aged Like a Fine What?”
Comfort…
What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life? I think Comfort was a character name on a Twilight Zone episode—#88, “The Last Rites of Jeff Myrtlebank,” to be specific.

(Although the first day it also told meContinue reading “Let’s Get Physical!”
Hell’s Bells!
What makes you nervous? My post title comes from something my Great-Aunt Catherine used to say. She was likely in her 60s, and we would occasionally visit her. She was the “rich aunt,” in the big house outside of town. Her husband made his money in trucking, and so they had the large manse, theContinue reading “Hell’s Bells!”
Cleric! Pass the Elixir of Health!
There’s an old quotation, sometimes credited to the movie The Princess Bride, that says, “If you haven’t got your health, you haven’t got anything.“ I recently had a bit of a health scare. Waking up in the middle of the night, I rose to go to the bathroom. Suddenly I found myself off balance andContinue reading “Cleric! Pass the Elixir of Health!”

First of all, a milestone: I’ve made it to podcast episode number 50! Secondly, I’m trying something a little different this season.
