If you’re like me, no matter your vocation, you understand the importance of first. It’s a knowledge ingrained in us early, probably learned around the time we were learning how to use a straw. (“That’s it, sweetie, wrap your lips around it and suck. Yay!”) First in the Olympics? Even a youngster knows that’s a …
I’m typically not one to be overly critical, especially when the subject is outside my realm of expertise. In the professional lives of arguably my two closest friends, one is a doctor (GI his specialty) and the other an accountant (money his). When my doctor friend tells me I’m in bad shape, do I stomp …
Have you been frequenting deadly dietary indulgences (a little alliteration never hurt anyone, thank you very much) like me of late?

If you read my first blog, you know I arrived in this Blog Universe not exactly kicking and screaming, but definitely with some reluctance. It happened on the advice of others, one in particular. Now don’t get me wrong, she’s a fine person, one of the best, perhaps even the best, and like I mentioned …
Well here I am, in this alternate universe known as “Blog.” I’m not much a social media, keeping-up-with-the-tech-savvies kind of guy, so I really don’t know how I got here.
