I am in Houston for a checkup. A couple of changes in my RLS medicine has me sleeping much better. The Ruxolitinib seems to be doing its job well. All in all, I am pleased. At least I am pleased tonight…I may be less so after my checkup tomorrow, but I expect good things. I…
I defend borders all the time. So do you, every time you lock your door, every time you go out into your fenced in back yard and later complain to your neighbor that his dog has done its business there, leaving it for you to clean up, but only after you have stepped in the…
Prosperity is full of friends Euripedes Euripedes, the Greek tragedian playwright still speaks to us across the ages. He lived in Athens, around 400 BC, or, shall we say, 2,400 years ago.
