  • Thoughts on Comebacks

    Thoughts on Comebacks

    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…

  • Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome in the News Lately

    Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome in the News Lately

    I’ve seen a few articles about Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS) and because my funny bone is sensitive to provocative titles, I first read the one with the title that starts off with “I still partly think this is bullshit…” My reference list resulting from a quick search is below. Of course, I don’t think CHS…

    Svengoolie Movie: “Devil Doll”

    Svengoolie Intro: “Calling all stations! Clear the air lanes! Clear all air lanes for the big broadcast!” Well, I watched the Svengoolie movie, “Devil Doll” last night and was that creepy! It’s a British 1964 film directed and produced by Lindsay Shonteff (although I don’t know him from Adam. What do you take me for,…

    When it Comes to AI, What Are We Really Talking About?

    I’ve been reading about artificial intelligence (AI) in general and its healthcare applications. I tried searching the web in general about it and got the message: “An AI Overview is not available for this search.” I’m ambivalent about that message. There are a couple of web articles, one of which I read twice in its…

  • Svengoolie Show Movie: “Tarantula”

    Svengoolie Show Movie: “Tarantula”

    I watched the Svengoolie show movie “Tarantula” last night, although I fell asleep for what turns out to have been about 20 minutes or so during the second half hour of this 1955 film about radioactive nutrient producing a giant tarantula. I had to catch up on what I missed on the Internet Archive. Don’t…

  • Svengoolie Show Movie: “The Bad Seed”

    Svengoolie Show Movie: “The Bad Seed”

    I watched the Svengoolie show movie, “The Baddest Seed on the Planet” yesterday on the Internet Archive because I wanted to see the Iowa Hawkeye vs UMass football game last night. Hey, the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Iowa State Cyclones both won yesterday! Actually, I thought “The Bad Seed” was a pretty good movie, just…

    Connecting the Dots between Kintsugi and the Blues

    Since I wrote the blog about the Big Mo Pod Show, Hickory Smoked Blues, I’ve been trying to remember how I connected the dots between Kintsugi and blues music, which is said to be healing even though often it sounds like it could make you hurt. I had a devil of a time tracking this…
