Spring Flowers Photo Quiz!3 Apr 2026
Sena’s daffodil and crocus are coming up in the garden, so I took 3 snapshots, each with a different camera: my iPhone 17 pro; a Canon point and shoot; and a Nikon D3400. Pick which one you think is best and comment. Happy Easter!
We Heard a Barred Owl Last Night3 Apr 2026
We both heard a barred owl last night. This was a line of thunderstorms rolled through the area. Sena thought it was in the front yard, but there are no trees out there and it’s more likely it was in the back yard. I searched my photo files and couldn’t find one of a barred … Continue reading "We Heard a Barred Owl Last Night"
Our 1st Game on Our New Cribbage Board2 Apr 2026
Hey, we played our first game on our brand-new jumbo cribbage board from Michaud Toys in Canada! It looks great! The numbers are easy to see and it seems easier to peg on. We also got two new batteries for our Nikon camera and it supports recording an entire game which keeps us from fretting … Continue reading "Our 1st Game on Our New Cribbage Board"

I got a nudge yesterday reminding me I could choose to opt-in to a free Artificial Intelligence (AI) helper to essentially allow it to assist me in doing certain tasks. There’s a YouTube presentation about it featuring a nice guy named Jamie (see below). While the suggestion sounds like it wouldn’t necessarily automatically allow AI … Continue reading "WordPress Promoting and Nudging Bloggers to Opt-in to Artificial Intelligence"
Current Kratom and Psilocybin Legislative Action in Iowa30 Mar 2026
I just saw an excellent post from Dr. George Dawson, MD, DFAPA on Kratom. His emphasis that the risk for harm from this substance should be “…remembered at every policy debate.” I agree. This reminds me of what happened in the Iowa Legislature this term at the second funnel regarding substances with the potential for … Continue reading "Current Kratom and Psilocybin Legislative Action in Iowa"

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
