I didn’t know nail salons use UV light to dry certain types of nail treatments. But can UV light put a nail in your coffin…by skin cancer? | Bacteria is changing in our bodies, and does this change our health? | More people are being honest about being obese, but do people really [...]
Ex-Governor Eliot Spitzer must have had a pretty big ego to think he could hire prostitutes and not get caught. Hello! But then again, it seems most powerful people get a swollen head and feel untouchable-until they get a swollen lip when they get caught. Perhaps if the head did visibly [...]
“Speechless” is a glam-rock type of song from the one, the only: Lady Gaga. Love Lady Gaga. Want to see her perform in Atlantic City, but I can’t find anyone to join me to see her brilliance. I wonder if Thomas Jefferson will be speechless when she performs at John Paul Jones Arena.
Many things [...]

Tara is what Scarlett O’Hara fought for. But is land so important to fight for that you reduce yourself to wearing drapery and marrying a man you don’t love?
Someone once told me, “The secret to being a lady is knowing when to be a woman.” So Scarlett got Tara back, but her [...]

Hypochondria is a horrible thing. One of my best friends suffers from it – – although it’s getting better each year. I didn’t realize he suffered from hypochondria when initially he kept thinking he had testicular cancer. What he had was a groin pull. In his head it was definitely testicular cancer, and it [...]

“Friends come and go, Talking of Michelangelo” is my adaptation of T.S. Eliot’s The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. I never really got into poetry, so to challenge myself, at Denison University I enrolled not just in a poetry class, but in an honors poetry class.

Drama– what does it mean? When I moved to LA., I met one billion people who worked in the Hollywood “industry.” I had never heard the expression “drama in one’s life,” though, girlfriend, I’ve definitely lived it in the past. (At least I hope it’s in the past.)
I have a friend who doesn’t like drama [...]

Cooking is an art form. When I was a medical student, I didn’t know how to cook. Everything I made was either a salad or a sandwich. One time I invited my now partner-in-life to dinner. I served a baked potato, but I didn’t have any butter– so I did what Martha Stewart would do– [...]

My office coordinator says to me, “Someone comes in for a cold, rash, or hangnail, and they leave with an order for a screening colonoscopy.” I say to her, “I also order mammograms, do PAP smears, check prostates, and do other health maintenance things– don’t those count?”
Are colonoscopies that dreaded? Should the name be [...]

The Beatles sang a great song, “Here Comes the Sun.” I love the sun; it makes a gray day… well, sunny. “Sunny, thank you for the sunshine in my life…”
