  • Cat Tales

  • A Theory of Health Care Spending

    For a good while, I've had a half-baked and only half-joking theory that health care spending would not be so high if we were not constantly reminded of all the things that could be wrong with us. I watch or... Read More...

    There comes a time for everyone when, in the eyes of the people around us, we have passed an invisible barrier into old age. If we have not yet realized this transition ourselves, there are plenty of younger people willing... Read More...

  • Mean, Nasty, Hateful and Corrupt

    You could say that my mind is elsewhere right now what with selling my home and trying to survive the huge amount dental work that will go on throughout this month. You could say that I'm not paying my usual... Read More...

  • Denture

    Did you know that dentures were made by the Etruscans way back in 700 B.C.? Human and animal teeth were used and (George Washington's wooden choppers notwithstanding) continued to be so-fashioned until the mid-19th century. At least, that's what...
