Thoughts on Extraterrestrial TV Shows
A couple of nights ago, I watched a few TV shows on the Travel Channel about UFOs, extraterrestrial abductions, implants, and whatnot. I think there was some sort of marathon given that it was the Independence Day weekend. Anyway, I was surprised to see Marc D’Antonio on a show called Alien Invasion: Hudson Valley. The…

Braunschweiger and Miracle Whip Nostalgia Sandwich
Sena bought two items at the grocery store that brought back memories: Braunschweiger and Miracle Whip. You may recall the Miracle Whip vs Mayonnaise challenge blog posts last August-September. Miracle Whip took a beating and it’s partly because I suspect the makers changed the recipe for it. I can’t change that. On the other hand,…

Pineapple Pizza Redo!
Well, we tried pineapple pizza a couple of months ago and the other day we tried it again. This time, as promised, we tried the Lotzza Motzza version. We didn’t doc it up. We thought it would be the best. Neither of us were impressed. Sena says she wouldn’t try it again. Neither of us…

Video of the Raccoon in the Mulberry Tree
Sena said I should use the short video of that big raccoon I filmed in lumbering around and eating breakfast in our mulberry tree the other day. I didn’t include it in the original post, but when Sena and I looked at it together, she persuaded me that it was worth posting.

Mayo Wars
Okay, so it’s Mayo Wars again at our house evidently. Remember that challenge of Mayonnaise vs Miracle Whip Sena and I had a while ago? Well, now Sena is planning to make a Korean cheddar corn dish. It’s supposed to be made with Japanese mayo, which I gather refers to a product called Kewpie Mayonnaise.…

Move Your Way!

There are many ways to get and stay fit. We could all do better, including me. I exercise pretty much daily for about 30 minutes. Following that, I…

Raccoon in the Mulberry Tree
I was not sure what exactly I saw this between 6:30 and 7:00 this morning shaking the mulberry tree branches in our backyard. It seemed too big to be a squirrel and I dismissed the thought, telling myself that it was most likely the usual squirrel getting its mulberry breakfast. Just prior to this incident,…

What Do the Personal Brain Specialists Recommend?
Dr. George Dawson’s post “The Freak Show” reminded me of how coarse and cruel we can be to each other, even when we’re not aware of it. Maybe I should say especially when we’re not aware of it. Dr. Dawson emphasizes the importance of the empathic approach. In the same way, Dr. Moffic in the…

Thoughts on the Passing of Dr. Russell Noyes Jr.
I recently found the obituary of my mentor, Dr. Russell Noyes, Jr. MD. He died on June 21, 2023. This is the first time I’ve ever said that he was my mentor. I probably just didn’t realize it until I found out he passed. Dr. Noyes was my teacher during the time I was learning…

Sena Gives Me a Haircut
Sena gave me a haircut the other day. She’s been cutting my hair almost 30 years. She bought a new barber cape recently which has snaps instead of Velcro to hold it around my neck. I still have Velcro tennis shoes, though. The first time Sena cut my hair she left a bald patch on…
