Svengoolie Show Movie: “The War of the Worlds”1 Mar 2026
We watched the 1953 movie “War of the Worlds” last night. I can vaguely remember seeing the remake starting Tom Cruise years ago. I ran across a free pdf of H.G. Wells novel “The War of the worlds, published in 1898 and quickly read it today for the first time. Apparently, it was a pretty … Continue reading "Svengoolie Show Movie: “The War of the Worlds”"
The Big Mo Blues Show Highlights Women Singers28 Feb 2026
Last night the Big Mo Blues Show focused on women vocalists, partly because he said he got phone calls urging him to play more music from female performers. It was an exceptionally good show and I can mention 3 of the women singers who really impressed me. Early in the show, he played a song … Continue reading "The Big Mo Blues Show Highlights Women Singers"
Oppose Iowa Legislature Bill HF 2171 That Seeks to Eliminate Vaccine Requirements in Public Schools27 Feb 2026
I have been reading the public comments on the Iowa Legislature bill HF 2171 that, if passed, would eliminate the requirement for vaccines in public schools against many diseases such as poliomyelitis, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, rubeola, rubella, and varicella.

Cribbage 29 Board Arrives!25 Feb 2026
Hey, we got our new cribbage 29 board today! We’d been playing cribbage for a good part of the day (both 8-card and 10-card) on the big board although the 29 board will have to get its workout tomorrow. It’s just like the one we had before it got lost last year in the move. … Continue reading "Cribbage 29 Board Arrives!"
Iowa Legislature Ivermectin Bill A Game of “Captain, May I?”25 Feb 2026
I’ve been comparing the Iowa legislature bills on allowing ivermectin to be available over-the-counter in pharmacies. There were two of them and then there was one. In the first bill, HF 2056, the language in it seemed to strongly direct pharmacists to make ivermectin available by using the word “shall”: Notwithstanding any provision of law … Continue reading "Iowa Legislature Ivermectin Bill A Game of “Captain, May I?”"

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
