Blink
Up until today, I cannot recall a time when I had to remind myself to blink. For the most of us, it’s something that happens naturally. That is, until I had a bout with Bell’s palsy, (a paralysis on the right side of my face). The painful eye symptom which...

Must be Friday, so it must be time for a rant.
I think I've written before how I wake up at least once a week by writing in my head. Something awakens me and words seep in, latch onto ideas and take off. I think so I write, or so I think I write. Wait, what?

It’s true; I am not rich. I am a typical consumer, albeit one who has developed a philosophy of spending more to save more. By that I mean I would much rather save up my money, be patient, and purchase one luxury item rather than buy things as soon as I have a few extra dollars. I believe quality,...

That Barack Obama invoked Gandhi’s name reveals delicious irony as it posits morality with “unlimited sex”, in Rush Limbaugh’s immortal words.
I’d like to draw your attention not to the moral versus the amoral, but to the two moral paradigms here. While Limbaugh can be taken to the laundry...

I feel great today. What did I eat in the last 24 hours? The answer was lots of healthy, wholesome foods. As a vegetarian I have to work at getting enough protein but spending a little time in the kitchen provides me with plenty of nutritious alternatives. If you're dragging around, take stock of...
