I had a frightening thought the other day. What if our bodies and minds have tricks to them that we haven’t discovered, like our smartphones seem to have?
Scientific evidence indicating benefits from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is mounting, contradictory to the long-held assumptions that ADHD limited the well-being and achievements of persons with the diagnosis.
The article began, “It was a small trial, just 18 cancer patients ....”
This time of year is really hard on my body. Suddenly everything outside is screaming for attention, but I have let my body do whatever it wants for so long (which was basically nothing) that it isn’t keen on suddenly following directions now.

Before we went to Amsterdam, I did my homework and came across a statement from a taxi driver who said that every tourist gets off the plane and asks for a ride to the red-light district and then wants to buy drugs.
I nearly bought some granola bars. They aren’t as good tasting as candy bars; I knew that before I even picked up the box, but I’ve been trying to be more health conscious lately.
Agricultural production this year in Ukraine is likely to be hampered by the ongoing conflict with Russia. Forecasters already predict shortages of key crops around the world, especially wheat, corn, and oilseeds.
When we were in Amsterdam, I did not want to tour Anne Frank’s house.
I heard an expression the other day that I had never heard before. Someone said, “I’m at my Pompeii best.” Being too embarrassed at my lack of understanding, I didn’t respond. I tried to puzzle out the meaning of it for myself later by visiting a website with information on Pompeii.
Agriculture is essential to the survival of the world’s burgeoning population. While about half the populations of underdeveloped nations are farmers, less than 2 percent of the U.S. population and other highly developed nations are farmers.
It could have been a little easier.
As I write this, spring has arrived and with it, some useless musings about the fickleness and foolishness of the season. For example, spring means that the weather can feel too warm one day and the next day our eyes can freeze open.

Recently I sat watching the sun coming up over Olson Lake, or, as everyone who lives here calls it, the slough.
I did something tonight that I had vowed I’d never do: I played Bingo somewhere other than my dining room table. My sister talked me into it. She has tended to talk me into things since we were children. So tonight, at the late hour of 7 p.m., I joined her in this gray-haired debauchery.
Jeff is a good fisherman and a good person. He is the prince of a friend everyone wishes for: Honest, generous, funny – with clever left-field humor that endears him to everyone, and optimistic, except when he fishes with my son Jon and me.
Number Two spent the weekend at our house and when she got up Sunday morning, she made a request for fresh caramel rolls. I had to go to town for a few groceries for Sunday dinner, so it wasn’t a problem to swing by the coffee shop as well.
When the pandemic started, I had just had a short (“brush with a lint brush” short) haircut. My hair continued to grow as the news became direr and the isolation expanded. Hairdressers around the globe closed down, leaving a lot of shaggy and dull colored hair, including mine.
The U.S. Academy of Sciences (NAS) released a report on Feb. 2, 2022, which indicated that mortality for US adults is “steepest for White adults in rural areas who tend to be the least educated and have the lowest income, dramatically reversing the centuries-old pattern of lower mortality in…
Number Two asked, “Papa, can you check to see if the ice is okay?”
I don’t like to shop. I’m not good at it. I avoid going shopping until it is inevitable. Today it was inevitable.

In an article by a guy named Arthur Brooks, he wrote about walking by his teenage daughter’s bedroom and hearing laughter coming from within. He poked his head in the door and asked what was so funny.
By this time in winter, there has been a lot of togetherness with family members, which can lead to crankiness. That is what I have heard, anyway. Perhaps that is why, when I saw a list of items on the Internet for sharing a space more comfortably, I quickly opened it in hopes of helping others.
