Found out today that Mom has another cancer. ARGH. But today's physician has a wonderful bedside manner and I cannot thank him enough.

Not sure who's more aggressive - the local tom turkey or the Canadian goose. Shaping up to see some major battles once migration starts kicking in. Any day now.

SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) doesn’t conjure food out of thin air—it’s a mechanism of access, not production.

Upcoming vacation seems way more important than yet another doomed glp1 prior auth appeal when the indication doesn't match fda approval. No cardiac hx, bmi not obese, a1c of 5.5. There's no way this is going to go through - right?

Currently working on a puzzle book for my sister's birthday and I'm searching through an old compilation of Internet memes, puzzles and comics from 2005-2010. The Internet was a different place then . . .

Will be hard to explain in the future that the US government went antivax, causing a lot of avoidable suffering and death, not in response to any negative incident with vaccines, but to the biggest, fastest, most successful, most impressive vaccine rollout in history.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

If you really wanna geek out there’s a cool app called Merlin Bird ID where it can tell you what birds you’re hearing.
