You’re Never Too Young For a Midlife Crisis

A Higher Plane
The circles and cycles of life are interesting. Last weeks blog was brought on by something I read about phytoestrogen in hops causing Man Boobs. That thought sent me on a mental journey down memory lane – to a time long ago in a land far away. As I was pondering on a topic for
Attack of the Man Boobs
No, this is not a thrilling science fiction tale of angry, 7 foot tall, club carrying, transvestites from a land far, far away. It’s about that most feared symptom of middle age, Man Boobs.

Happy New Year!
The last day of 2020 is today. Tomorrow we will start a New Year. I was pondering this morning about why we decided to roll the calendar over in December / January instead of April / May. Doesn’t Spring symbolize rebirth much better than Winter. It’s kind of depressing really, let’s celebrate when we have
This Will Only Hurt a Little Bit
If our natural immune system is 99.8% effective, why take Moderna’s vaccine that is only 95% effective? A vaccine that contains mRNA and is produced by a secretive company that has not brought a single product to market in their ten years of existence and has only been in the vaccine business since 2014. mRNA
