I recently watched a Netflix documentary entitled “The Most Hated Man On The Internet”. After a sigh of relief learning this was not “Dr. Posner” for spamming all of your inboxes with these boring daily blogs, the story was actually about a very arrogant and abusive young guy that founded a “revenge porn” website in […]
For you older movie fans out there, especially if you like comedies, the flick City Slickers, in my humble opinion, is one of the best. Billy Crystal plays the lead role and the story is about three New York City friends that are at various crossroads in their lives and they travel to a cattle […]
Here is a definition of “MEMORY”: the faculty by which the mind stores and remembers information. Personally, it frustrates me when I am watching a movie, see an actor that I have seen many times in pictures and cannot remember his/her name.

Well, several days ago I posted a blog called “Sugar, Sugar” and today I am writing about “Cherries, Cherries”. Songs are inspiring my blogs so yesterday I was listening to a Sirius XM station called “The Blend” and an old Neil Diamond song came on called, “Cherry, Cherry”. So, today’s entry is inspired […]

Most of these reasons are revolving around our “self” needs, such as: Wanting to lower/obviate our need for prescription medication(s) to treat weight-related co-morbidities Wanting to feel a higher level of energy Lowering the amount of pain we feel in our knees, hips and […]
Despite the title of this entry, we will NOT be discussing my favorite baseball team, the N.Y. Mets. I would anger too many of you Yankees, Nationals, Phillies and other fans out there. The “METS” I am referring to has nothing to do with the baseball Mets. I saw a patient several days ago […]
It is not a coincidence that the U.S. suffered from one of the highest amounts of Covid deaths in the world. We are also one of the most obese countries in the world and now that we have had almost 2.5 years of data from the pandemic, the relationship is very clear: The most significant […]
Well, I am writing this entry with a smile on my face because I was very fortunate several days ago. The cardiac catheterization showed a blockage in the right coronary artery that was amenable to opening via angioplasty and stent placement. I was discharged home the following morning, was able to walk 3 miles later […]
