Spring Is Here, and So Are Allergies One of the aspects I enjoy about not having a traditional desk job is the opportunity to be outside and relish the seasons as they change. Telltale signs that spring is here—empty roller coasters being tested at Hershey Park, the mulched lawns, the yellow daffodils, yellow forsythia bushes, […]
The death of a local woman in my town–who was relatively young at 53 years old–prompted me to revisit the topic of women’s heart health.

On the Road Again, This Time PSU Happy Valley Earlier this week, I shared with you my venture to New York City to help my daughter move to her apartment on the Upper East Side. The same week, I was on the road again. This time, PSU Happy Valley. It seems something is always happening […]
All or Nothing Ever notice how everything seems to happen all or nothing?

Goodbye January! Spring is just around the corner. Even though that groundhog shmounghog said six more weeks of winter–evidenced by the endless winter storms the first week in February–, I’m over this ongoing wintery mix.
