Thoughts on Being Thankful
- Nov

One year ago I suffered a moderate stroke. The hospital where I was admitted in the Conejo Valley in California, was ready to discharge me before I could stand with a walker. Lisa, my durable power of attorney for healthcare, fought for my right to continue to receive additional treatment (she won.) I was transferred to […]

Today I had a blood draw. Four small test tubes now hold about four ounces of my 100 year-old blood. It wasn’t taken for me. It was taken by a lab technician resembling Conan O’Brien (with the humor to match.) I have given these blood samples, that hopefully hold some unique information, to the Archon Genomics X […]

I couldn’t turn down the opportunity to take a ride in this old fire engine, built in 1939. Kevin Berry, of Reno, Nevada, drove me around town on my last visit to the area in last month. Lisa’s cousin is a great driver (just a little heavy on the siren when we’re in the country; apologies to the […]

Reno & Gardnerville: “10” for Chocolate and Doughnuts
- Sep
- 16
When I was a young boy in Boston, two cents in my pocket and a trip to “doughnut alley” was guaranteed to be a treat. Large vats of cooking oil would fry sweet dough into a circular delights that would send my tastebuds into a frenzy. Now, a mere ninety years later, my tastebuds still have a preference for sweets.
