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. For example, we have a blood-brain […]

Cosmic Jive: It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year… Almoster
We made it this far…September! For Halloween enthusiasts, this is like week-four of the preseason. It’s starting to get a little bit cooler out.

My Dog and I: “Pack” Your Dog is not Alone
His brain, personality and behavior are defined by the group he finds himself living with. This could be one half of a pair or part of a diverse family of pigs, goats, humans and horses. They could all live together in a house (well, maybe not the horses), or share a common area but the […]
Guns & Cornbread: It’s Almost Fall Ya’ll
The gray faced pointer eased over to my knee and requested an audience. With her chin resting there I looked into the eyes that seem to become more soulful with every passing day. “What’s on your mind?” I said, thinking how much I would miss her.
