Too often, I am afraid, we spend much of our time focusing on those afflicted with disease, without worrying so much about the impact on those around them. My mom, a lovely lady in so many ways, was stoic. She was a hard worker, who invested little in outward emotion. She was focused on objectives-Continue reading “A Mother’s Grief”
Something to Consider

Genotypes, Phenotype, Whatotypes?

Great Things
I do not expect many would argue with me on this one: the Coronavirus was a bad deal for all of us. While, fortunately, no one that I was close to died, more folks than I would want fell ill. I am an opportunist, always have been. I think that this, coupled to my unbridledContinue reading “Great Things”

Very Happy to see New Views
