- Sep

I’m a big sports fan, Lamar. Anyone who reads my blog knows it. Football, basketball, baseball. That’s just the beginning. Add golf, bowling, horseshoes. You get the idea. I used to follow you in the sports page. Now I hear you’re in the gossip section. I don’t like it one bit. I want you to get back where […]

We all know it’s coming, the supposed overhaul of our nation’s healthcare system. The overhaul that will finally allow all Americans access to affordable and universal coverage.

Recent stories from the London area report Kate Middleton is so content staying with her little prince, George, at her parent’s country estate outside of London, that she and Prince William are considering staying with Kate’s parents for a six-month stretch.

- Aug
- 09
As the clock ticks closer toward open enrollment and implementation of the Affordable Care Act, I’m struck by the rapid numbers of different companies offering online and telephone “healthcare consultancy” access to doctors, medical insurance staff, and so-called “healthcare advocates.” Promises abound!

Henry’s still resting up after all of his 101st birthday festivities, so I guess it’s me at the keyboard tonight while Henry continues to rest and recuperate. This month I found myself in the “patient’s seat” rather than in the one where I’m advocating for another patient. It was an enlightening, not to mention scary experience because it […]

How is it possible that a 101 year-old can pull luggage through LAX, board a flight without the help of a wheelchair, and enjoy some time at Lake Tahoe, 6,000 feet high? Ask Henry. He just did it! No complications at all. We were careful to check with his internist prior to departure, who, after examining […]

A debate is raging. Now that Henry’s turned 101 today, he may want to retire from writing his blog because he’s not “Henry At 100” any longer.
