2017 Year in Review

Written by J.J.

As I look back on 2017 I wonder why I didn't notice the stories that would normally have been on my radar? Did they burn up in the worst California fire in history, flood in Houston, die in Las Vegas, or disappear somewhere in the debate about fake news? Did they shrink in comparison to the bold re-emergence of the KKK, the Russia/Trump drama, or the disturbing threats from North Korea? Were they destroyed in Puerto Rico, confounded by tax reform, eliminated in the upending of rules and policy or strung out on opiods? No, as I review I realize they were happening each and every day while we were distracted by a barrage of tweets and shocking, often troubling, developments. Consequently I'll remember 2017 as the year I was blinded by too much news!

Viruses are mighty this time of year yet your family will gain nutritious support by integrating root and forest vegetables in your weekly meals.

Finding Wisdom in Toys

Written by J.J.

I'm a serious person who was born to parents that shared a philosophy of not taking life too seriously.  My mother often wondered "what had happened" to me to make me so sober and she resolved to surround me with songs, corny jokes, and toys at every holiday. Most of the Halloween decorations I own: wind up Vampires, glowing ghosts, scraggly vultures, and pop up screechers are gifts from her. Throughout my life I've had ambivalence about that bounty but this year, when mother transitioned to assisted living revealing a sudden frailty, I unwrapped these old toys with new appreciation.

5 Myths about Aging

Written by J.J.

Boomers are changing what we have culturally believed about growing old. We're putting our own twist on everything from comprsock by Crazy Compressionession socks to adaptive home designs. Together with advances in science and technology we're expanding America's ideas of what's possible in later years. We're living at home longer, staying fit longer, and dressing in jeans---- regardless of our age. Yet some stereotypes about aging persist. This blog is my attempt to bust the top five.
