Addiction is oftimes a word linked with a compulsion of sorts. Those compulsions may deal with a drug dependency, gambling or even sex. What about the addict whose endorphins kick in each morning, 365 days a year? Yeah, those that claim the “runner’s high” is what keeps them on the roads, the tracks and/or the […]

January 6 has come and gone. Has anything really changed? Well, yes and no. Some of the insurrectionists (re: domestic terrorists) have turned on their leader feeling incredibly let down that he did not give his promised speech on the one-year anniversary of arguably the worst assault on democracy in this country’s history. Others have […]
My vote for current most out-of-touch professional athlete — Bryson DeChambeau in a landslide. It’s one thing to be a vaccine denier, which he certainly is. It’s another to say nonsensical things about the vaccine and expect anyone but the naive to believe them. “I’m young enough, I’d rather give it [the vaccine] to people […]

How many times have you heard the well-worn cliche, “You are only as old as you feel?” What does it actually mean? To me it means that one battles age issues by battling inactivity. Good health is more important than anything else in our lives. There is not one formula for living a healthy lifestyle. […]
Attitude is everything. You’ve undoubtedly heard the saying. What exactly does it mean? Make the best of every situation. Things are never as bad as we think. Of course, we are inundated during this political season with candidates telling us how bad we have it. Do we really have it that bad? We live in […]
Water buffalo are filing two-by-two along the country two-lane road. A small woman with a stick is beckoning them. Trees sway gently in the warm breeze under a cloudy sky. A family of four rides by on a motorcycle. In the distance, a man is in a one-acre rice field planting seed. Egrets fly by […]
