Quick rant here. I read with expected horror yet another article about how religious (and many political) conservatives mostly clustered in Southern states (what a surprise) have been introducing and pushing educational bills through their various state legislatures which champion “theories” of intelligent design, creationism, as well as questioning global warming. Probably spurred […]

OK, quick non-medical post here. I really enjoy the winter Olympics. Growing up on skis, I think it kicks butt over the summer ones - although the excitement of many watching it may be due to the distinct possibility of crashing big time, being seriously injured or even killed (RIP Georgina Luger […]

Finally going away for a “real” vacation this week! Chillin’ poolside, having some wine, increasing my chance of skin cancer - oh wait, I will make sure to wear some high SPF lotion to maintain my paleness.
