You doing a turkey trot next week?

18 Nov , 2024 Uncategorized

Now I’m aware that most of the people who read this blog are in their early 20’s or even late teens, but hey, it’s never too early to start exercising, right? And this ARTICLE I just read only bolsters the research that shows exercise increases the chances of living a longer (and better quality) life. […]

There are not many things I won’t eat, but…

I like food. I cannot lie:) And for the overwhelming majority of my life, I have not eaten good food. You know, food high in fat. You know, good food:) In the last 3 years, due to a health issue, I’ve had to significantly reduce my fat intake, so I don’t eat a lot of […]

I’m aware that most of the people who read these posts are in their early 20’s and maybe even late teens. Which means my readership could be my children:( So, most of you probably don’t spend tons of time thinking about getting old and especially the consequences of aging. And that’s fine. I know I […]

Some paper worth holding on to…

A Picture Tells A Thousand Words

29 Sep , 2024 Uncategorized

This week’s post is a light and fun one. I’m sure most of you watched at least one or two nights of the Summer Olympics from Paris. My wife and I watched a couple of events from a bar in Grand Lake. There were numerous heart-warming stories about winners and losers during the two-week world […]

Whew! And I thought I was crazy;)

Now, I’m a sociologist, mostly a criminologist. So, I’m not a not a developmental psychologist nor a social psychologist. And my wife and I don’t have any human children (we did the dogs/cats route), so I didn’t read a bunch of books on child rearing.
