We saw some kind of raptor today in our back yard and I couldn’t tell for sure if it was a Red-tail hawk or not. I got the video with an old Canon point-and-shoot through a window at 7:45 in the morning and she sky was overcast. It had a dark spot below its eye, … Continue reading "Saw What Might Be a Red-tail Hawk in Our Back Yard"

Svengoolie Intro: “Calling all stations! Clear the air lanes!

Notable Song “Magnolia Road” on Big Mo Blues Show Last Night21 Mar 2026
The Big Mo Blues Show was recorded last night. I’ve got a shout-out for a song I’ve heard a couple of times now in the last few weeks. It’s “Magnolia Road” by the Allman Betts Band.

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
