Off the Beaten Path: Singin’ in the Rain
I liked rainy days when I was a kid. My favorite thing to do was to take the family umbrella and walk down the lane with a happy refrain. The stormy clouds had chased everyone from the place, and I was like, come on with the rain, I’ve a smile on my face. And so, […]
Future Doc: Another Brick out of the Wall
It seems that we humans have a button about walls. Walls represent barriers to our freedom and movement, a method of control. On the other hand, a wall provides us protection from the “other guys” and the invading hordes. Our bodies have numerous walls throughout our various body systems.
