So this is coming out in print a couple of days past Christmas - right now I’m in the full-on throes of non-healthy meal planning right now. My friend Pam from AZ who is always trying to cook healthy posted a pic of a bowl of lobster bisque (lobster and...
Well 2021 is finally coming to an end. It has been a tumultuous year to say the least. On top of that, it’s the time of year where all departments are running at maximum capacity trying to get every patient in before the new year starts and those new deductibles...
I really don’t know what to say about 2021, other than it has been a wild ride. I was telling someone the other day that I feel like 2022 is going to be so much better. They looked at me with a fair amount of skepticism, but I persevered. I...
I’m pretty much set for the Year 2022. Got my word (“refining”), set my goals, excited about the whole kit and caboodle. I, on the other hand, am completely not ready for the next couple of weeks. I blame it on Jordan and her need to take a honeymoon. While...

November was a rollercoaster for me. (Probably for a lot of people - but this is about me.) I’ve had that odd anticipatory butterfly gut feeling for the last 30 days. It’s a mixture of my foster cat going home (I’ve had her for 2.5 years - I’m in serious...
I hope everyone was able to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday. As I am sitting writing this article, my wife is busy baking kringla. (I think I am eating them as fast as she is baking them). Over the years she has been trying to perfect the recipe that her mom...
