A little over ten years ago, I wrote a review for Dr. William Davis’s bestselling book Wheat Belly. I started that review with a description of the changes in health that came about when early man switched from a hunter-gatherer diet to an agricultural-grain-based diet. The changes were not for the better. Changing to a…
For those who can remember that far back, I started this series of book reviews of my favorite 52 books of 2020 way back in January. I wanted to write one long review of all 52 books, but my wife talked me out of it. So, I broke the whole thing down into four posts,…
You should know the story from the last post I wrote about why I’m posting these 13 books instead of the whole list of 52. The short answer is that my wife browbeat me into dividing them into four posts. All the books in this post were selected at random from the 52 books I…
I read a lot of books in 2020, and most of them were pretty good. I trawled through them looking for the ones I got the most out of–either in information or sheer pleasure. I ended up with, I felt, enough to recommend. So, I set about putting together a long post detailing all these…
What follows is my second favorite Christmas story of all time. My favorite is, of course, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, which I try to read at least once a year. But Christmas Day in the Morning by Pearl Buck runs it a close, close second. I love this story so much because I’ve…

In case you’re just dropping in after not being on the site for a while, you’ll notice a different look. I’ve moved the site to a different hosting service and a different theme. It’s going to take a while for me to update everything here, but all the posts are available. You may have to…
MD and I just got back from Low-Carb Denver 2020 where I made a presentation that will ultimately make its way to YouTube. Preparing for the presentation occupied most of my time before the meeting–I’m a chronic slide-making procrastinator–so I abandoned blogging for a bit. Fortunately, the organizers put me on just about first on…
As I suggested in my last post, you should watch the embedded video to study up for this post. In case you didn’t watch the video, or if you came to this post without having seen the previous one, I’ll embed the video below. I hate to do so, because the way YouTube shows the…
I have been casting about trying to figure out how to start this blog post, the first in over two years. In the old days when I was blogging almost daily, I would wake up every morning thinking about what I was going to write about. I would get up, make a cup of Americano,…
I’ve noticed a lot of bloggers who write sort of potpourri posts from time to time. I think I’ve written a few in the distant past. Hard to believe I’ve been at this – at least intermittently – for over 12 years now. I want to bring everyone up to date on what’s going on…
