It seems that every so often, life beats me down with a spiked club enough so that I disappear to all but my closest friends and family, sometimes even to some of them. The last 2-3 weeks have been one of those times. Honestly, it’s not that I’ve had nothing to write about […]
A Sunday school teacher of 54 years is dismissed by a Rev. Timothy LaBouf, who also is a city councilman in Watertown NY. The reason? She is a woman and, as a woman, has no business teaching men in spiritual matters. Don’t believe me? Read the article:

I’m a total foodie. By that I mean I not only love food, but I love the process, the cooking, the variation, the art behind the scenes, the meticulous attention to detail that can go into a dish. I married a good cook too, so that doesn’t hurt, but as she’ll tell you, I […]
I promise this is my last post about anything having to do with my Grand Rounds’ hosting experience.

The new edition is up at Intellinurse2b’s site, “It’s a Nursing Thing.”
Your name was Roberto Mosqueda (mo-skeh-duh), but I just called you “grandpa.” I didn’t call you “Grandpa Robert” really, because I didn’t have any other grandfather; my mom’s dad died of a sudden heart attack when she was in her teens, so you are the only grandpa I ever knew (not counting great-grandparents).

Welcome to Grand Rounds Vol. 2 No. 46! For the first time, Grand Rounds comes to you from Mexico. I hope you find your stay pleasant — current weather here in Guadalajara will range from 58°F to 78°F (14°C to 25°C) with afternoon thundershowers. For all you suffering in the U.S. heat […]
I’m not one to be easily emotionally affected by things, but this really got to me. It’s a video of a father who, though not a runner, got in shape to eventually compete in triathalons so his quadriplegic son can feel free, if only temporarily, from the wheelchair that imprisons him.
