See Me at the Neckademy Awards About This Neck Massager23 Dec 2025
Sena bought some device for neck and shoulder massage called the Shiatsu cordless heat massager today. She tried it and then wanted me to try it. I’m not up for massagers of any kind, especially after seeing the extraterrestrial massage torturer I posted about early this month, “So, Is This Anything?” She didn’t want it … Continue reading "See Me at the Neckademy Awards About This Neck Massager"
Thoughts on Comebacks23 Dec 2025
I watched the first half of the Colts vs 49ers game last night and I thought Philip Rivers didn’t look half bad for a 44-year-old guy who’s been out of the game for five years. Did you know he has 10 kids? OK, now that I’ve got that out of my system and that would … Continue reading "Thoughts on Comebacks"

Yo, Hondo, somebody needs to break … Continue reading "Svengoolie Movie: “The Brides of Dracula”!"

I immediately liked this version. I … Continue reading "Big Mo Blues Show Christmas Music Featuring Peter Green"
Swearing as a Performance Improvement Method?19 Dec 2025
I read this article about swearing being a good thing to do to increase your workout performance or whatever. There’s a link to the study that a researcher says supports that conclusion. I mean this story is talking about really bad words being good for you. It reminds me of a time when I was … Continue reading "Swearing as a Performance Improvement Method?"

Plan for retirement, even if you don’t plan to retire. This means sound financial planning, developing other interests, and nurturing your relationships with significant others. Retire, even if you are not retired. Take enough time off periodically, and completely, with no connections to work, so that you can feel emotionally free from concerns about patients and practice. Of course, there is no reason to retire if you really love your work and relationships just as they are.-H. Steven Moffic, MD See original article in Psychiatric Times
