1. Great video clip I watched this week… I have followed a guy named Brian Johnson for many years. He puts out a daily video (usually just a few minutes long) that is called “Heroic +1.” I just watched one titled, “The Miracle of Flight: Hours vs. Months,” which really made me think… and I…
1. Wellness tip… Take a moment and think about how good it feels to not be sick. To be able go to the bathroom without trouble. To be able to breathe in and out deeply. To not be bedridden. To be able to talk, think, walk, and smile. We tend to only appreciate feeling good…
1. Series I finished this week… We watched the ninth and final episode of Masters of the Air (on Apple TV+), the series produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, about the 100th Bomb Group during World War II as the bomber crews run mission after mission into German-occupied Europe to destroy targets. It is VERY good!…
1. Something I pondered this week… Every time we do the whole time change thing, most of us wonder why we are still doing this. It is a mostly outdated act, serving no real purpose, and is a hassle for most of us. Every time we do the time change, I take a moment to…

1. Question I get a lot… People often ask me if everything I buy is organic. The answer is no. Environmental Working Group (EWG) put out a list years ago called the Dirty Dozen and another list called the Clean Fifteen. They analyzed and found out what produce contained the most pesticides. Those listed on…
1. Article I read this week (that requires some discussion)… I read an article that expressed concerns that more people are not being prescribed the anti-viral drug, Paxlovid. I found it very odd… and concerning… that this tactic is being used to have people pressure their doctors to prescribe drugs that the doctor does not…
1. Stat that concerned me this week… Aza Raskin and Tristan Harris, two guys who starred in the movie, The Social Dilemma, and presented The AI Dilemma on YouTube (both are a MUST-WATCH!), were on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Along with A LOT of frightening and thought-provoking information about artificial intelligence, they shared something I was…
