Can you imagine having your child taken away from you? What if you dreamed of having a child and then at the last minute, that child is not yours? That is essentially what is happening to 46 couples today, since on Friday the president of Russian banned all International Adoptions. As many of you know, […]
Like so many others, my thoughts these past two days have been on the horrible school shooting in Connecticut, as I think about the innocent children & the families all affected by this tragedy. Unimaginable, horrifying, heartbreaking, sadness … to name just a few thoughts. At the same time, I do not think that gun […]
This past month we went to a wedding of a family member and it was one of the nicest wedding’s I have ever been to. It was a very elegant church ceremony and a fun & fancy reception. I’m not really sure why I do this, but I get teary eyed when in the church, […]
So it appears that the “death” of Twinkies is here. While that is sad news for the 18,000 people who are going to lose their jobs, it’s not too bad for our society. I don’t know if there is really anything healthy about a Twinkie, a Ding Dong, or a Ho Ho. Yes, I have […]
Do you have any secrets? Something that maybe only a few people know? It doesn’t matter what it is, but I’m sure there’s something that you know, your spouse, maybe a friend or two, and a few other people, but you don’t run around telling others about. Why not?

Recently I paid a visit to an Accunpuncturist, a man in Smyrna who was recommended to me by a patient. I had seen someone before, but it had been six years or so, but this was a different guy. He was Oriental, trained in China, and had a very nice office that was more or […]
I feel so out of shape and that is basically because I am. In a matter of 2½ years, from Nov. 2009 to May 2011, I raced in three marathons and seven half marathons (plus a few triathlons). So why do I feel so out of shape? After the last half marathon in May of […]
Yesterday morning my four-year old woke up and came down stairs crying, because he “couldn’t talk” as he said. He had a slight case of laryngitis and sounded like he was getting a cold. Ugh, just what we need. He was headed to school and me to my office, and I really didn’t want to […]
It all started several weeks ago as I headed out the house for an early morning run (OK it actually started a year ago, but more on that later). I turned around in the front yard and looked back at the house and up on the roof, I saw a big orange & black striped […]
