I had a nice day yesterday. Some good things happened that are always pleasant, but it all started in one place. I had an early morning meeting, and I’m not normally a morning person. I was also hungry, which doesn’t bode well, and I didn’t have time to eat before I left the house. I [...]
Strange as it sounds, it seems that there’s a difference in outcome for visitors to the emergency room based on whether a person has insurance or not.

Yesterday was Election Day in America, and people from all over the country went to the polls to vote for, or against, candidates of their choice. My wife and I went, and had to learn a new way to vote, as they’ve gone away from machines to paper ballots here; this is progress? I vote [...]
A couple of days ago, my wife and I happened to be in the kitchen at the same time. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve started making my week’s meals on Sundays so that all I have to do during the week is get my container, heat up my food, and go about my [...]
