Who kills his mother than goes to the Kindergarten Class where she teaches and opens fire on her students? A crazy, mixed up 20 year old named Adam Lanza, that’s who. This is an unspeakably horrible incident. We seem to hear about school and workplace shootings all the time, starting with Charles Whitman who killed…

I am exhausted. There is no starch left in my jeans. My fibers have wilted. The support structures keeping my spine upright have been replaced with an over-boiled linguine. I don’t know what to do about it, except for this: I am not complaining, but merely making an observations. The exhaustion is mental, which means…

You have previously been introduced here to Dr. Meera Sachdeva, Monica Weeks, and Brittany McCoskey. Please refer back to my blog post dated 8/17/12. Sachdeva was the oncologist, owner, and operator of the Rose Cancer Center in Summit, Mississippi, whose clinic was shut down by the Mississippi Department of Health after numerous cancer patients were…

This is not a news blog. Nor is it a history blog. I am not an historian. It has been suggested that I am a passable amateur historiographer, but I am not capable of being an historian, since I cannot help but extrapolate and insert myself into places where a lack of evidence or a…

I am thankful for every day. It is a good way to live one’s life, being thankful for what one has. The more we are thankful for what we have, the less we focus on what it is we lack, or what we think we lack. Writing about this is not a new theme for…

We all know that the Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012, the day of the winter solstice. Many people have read much significance into that. On one hand, given that calendars can be extended on towards infinity, and the Mayans had no computers or printers to conveniently print out calendars for future years, as…

Be as you wish to seem Socrates There is no escaping Socrates. He is a recurring theme in my writings. He was a recurring theme in the writings of many: Plato, Aristotle, Xenophon. I suppose that’s because he was a teacher, and they that sat at his feet went on to become some of the…

The nefarious Dr. Meera Sachdeva, the Summit, Mississippi, Oncologist whom you  previously met here, and her cohorts in crime, were to have been sentenced today, but their sentencing was put off until December 7. Now what do you suppose made them delay the sentencing? Did the judge have a Tee Time that conflicted with his…

Boy, that’s a mouthful! I went to Hemosapien for my checkup the day after the election (November 7). Gooday had previously discovered some swollen lymph nodes in my neck on my visit to BATCC back last April. He seemed unconcerned and said that they did not seem to be CLL type swollen nodes. Well, last…
