True Stories,
weight-loss I want to add a bit more to my post from yesterday about my experience with doctors. Please understand, I know that there are good, conscientious, respectful doctors out there. My brother is married to one. My headache specialist, chiropractor, and dentist are three more. My new internist, though her wait times are terrible, is [...]

True Stories This post is long overdue, because I couldn’t figure out how to write it without sounding like I’m bragging. And I still haven’t really figured it out. So I’m just going to tell it as it comes out of my brain to my fingers, and ask my readers to believe that I’m really and truly [...]

Family Life,
True Stories Okay, I am really upset, and I am in a quandary. The lack of customer appreciation, communication, and service in even small companies these days is utterly bewildering and appalling to me. And this week’s experience is just another example of how bad — and how stupid — things can get. I love my eye-doctor. [...]

Religion You might think it odd that I learned about honesty while taking a vacation, but it’s a fact. My goals for my vacation were fairly simple: Goof off. Read. Hook a couple of rugs. Swim. Body-surf. Sleep. Walk the beach. Find some good seashells. Build some sandcastles. Eat good seafood. Buy a few souvenirs. Other [...]

Politics Okay, I don’t care what any of the politicians or their spouses have to say. Nor dishonest singers who fail to keep their agreements. Nor flag-burners and anthem-desecrators — they get no say with me, either. I live in a Great Country. And as Ken Hamblin (the Black Avenger) used to say, “If you don’t [...]

Religion Sherri Goforth probably doesn’t want – or need – another person weighing in on her lack of judgment and common sense. Too bad. I’m weighing in anyway. Because her mistake has reflected poorly on my profession, my state, and my culture. Moreover, her “mistake” is illustrative of a larger problem in modern American society – [...]

Religion,
True Stories I left a comment for fellow blogger GapCohen, who asked me about my knowledge of Judaism and Jewish culture. As usual, my response to her query was long enough for a post, in and of itself, so I’ve put it here instead of cluttering up her comments page. I was born and raised Protestant, but [...]

weight-loss I just need to rant for a minute here. For the record, not all fat people are out there scarfing down enough food at a single meal to feed a third-world country for a week. Not all of us are slobby couch-potatoes who watch our expanding waistlines with complacent tolerance. Not all of us are [...]
