Thoughts on the Big Mo Pod Show “Funkin’ Down the Highway”
This is a post about the Big Mo Pod Show we heard last night on the KCCK FM radio dial 106.9. Incidentally, the KCCK fund drive was enormously successful this year, earning $100,000 in donations, according to Big Mo (aka John Heim) himself. One item is the cover by Buddy Miles of the song “Tobacco…

Once More Unto the Breach of the Zinus Bed Frame Assembly
We had yet another opportunity to put together a Zinus platform bed, this time for our King size mattress. That’s right; we didn’t learn from our experience a couple of years ago. We did it because we got rid of the old bedstead, the disassembly of which led to my left ankle injury in June.…

Notes on the Blues and Rivers of Whiskey
I listened to the Big Mo Blues Show last night on KCCK radio (88.3 on your dial) as I usually do on Friday nights. It runs from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm and you can learn a lot from Big Mo (aka John Heim) about the blues. He also has a podcast called the Big…

Thoughts on X-Files Episode “Sunshine Days”
I saw the X-Files episode “Sunshine Days” again last night. It’s the second time I’ve seen it. It’s about a guy who calls himself Oliver who has telekinetic power and who yearns for a father-son relationship with a paranormal researcher (Dr. Reitz) who studied him when he was a kid named Anthony.

The main character, Scott Carey, was played by Grant Williams. You can watch the movie for free on the Internet…

We Got Our Vaccinations
I saw the headlines about how some people are skipping the Covid-19 and flu shots this year. But we decided to get them anyway. Sena got both but they were pretty close together and one bandaid covered them.

Back to the Roller Window Shades?
I just heard about the new regulation banning cords on window shades. I didn’t know that window cords were so dangerous. We recently moved into our new house and need window coverings. We’ve had corded window coverings (mostly blinds) for years wherever we moved. I guess we’ll have to consider other options. This reminds me…

Can Artificial Intelligence Learn from My Book?
Recently the publisher of a book co-edited by me and my former psychiatry chair Dr. Robert G. Robinson asked me to sign off on a proposal to involve Artificial Intelligence (AI) in using the work. The book, “Psychosomatic Medicine: An Introduction to Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry,” is 14 years old now, but is still a practical tool…

Bathroom Fan Timers are Now Required by Code!
OK, so maybe you already knew that bathroom exhaust fan timers for reducing moisture are required by code. But we didn’t, which is why we were both a little spooked when the hallway bathroom fan came on all by itself on our first evening in our new house. It has done that a few times,…

Casey’s Pizza Deja Vu
We had a deja vu thing with our final move out of the hotel and into our new house. Just before we first moved into the hotel two months ago, it was really late at night and we stopped at Casey’s to get a pizza. We were exhausted. Today, we finally moved out of the…
