One of our peak experiences brought on by nature involves bird watching. Among our very favorites are cardinal birds, pictured left. In the wild, often the most beautiful and most vividly colored birds are males. Scientists hypothesize that their job is to attract predators and lead them away from the nest. The fine fellow on […]

Most of us – no, make that ALL of us – aren’t exactly fond of the idea of looking and getting older. Since our face is one of the most important barometers of age, most women and many men become interested in an anti wrinkle face cream, sooner or later. Wrinkles are “The Enemy” and […]

Contrary to popular belief that big rough, tough men don’t care about their skin, the reality is that skin care for men is a hot business. In spite of sometimes worrying about being derided by their buddies if they find out, (think about Marty Crane when Frasier and Niles discussed their spa facials! :-) many […]

Lobotomized Pollyanna* in the vicinity”. Yet humans have been on this planet for thousands of years. In fact, the oldest known humanoid fossil is one million […]

There has been a Kashi GoLean recall. I eat a lot of Kashi foods and the company issued the recall because its Kashi GoLean Chocolate Energy Shake mix contained milk – specifically whey caseinate. This ingredient wasn’t mentioned on the canister and folks with a milk allergy might be affected. How To Identify The Affected […]
