Bittersweet

Any way you slice it, grapefruits are good and good for you!  :)))) As we roll into the early winter season (yep still rolling from my indulgence on Turkey Day), I find there are some foods that are just part of the season.  One of my favorites is grapefruit.  There’s something special about “winter” grapefruit – cold, […]

Take time to reflect

Contemplation. Itrospection. Pondering. This is a really good time to reflect. In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of bigger and better things. Society often encourages us to set ambitious goals, reach for the stars, and constantly strive to become better. While these are […]

Two Quintillion

Doing research has been getting faster and faster and faster. Now, with the push of a button, answers are coming back in a single second, to the people researching daunting topics like the universe, neuroscience, aerospace, cancer, drugs, clean fusion and more.

Steve’s Day

I’ve been thinking about this…if I could rename every day of the week, I’m thinking food might be a good idea. Hey, why not?  :)))). Read on to see why the days of the week are named what they are.  (But I still think food might be good.)   Wouldn’t that be cool – to […]
