Na+Cl- delivers a knock-out blow! Take that Winter.
Many of my patients called in today to cancel their PT appointments because of our big bad winter nemesis ICE! I’ve overhead a lot of people talking about “salt melting ice” and had a flashback to chemistry and got WAY to excited. After setting nerd-phasers to stun, boring all my colleagues (trapped in a small office … Continue reading

My artifacts seem to belong here as though this place has been waiting for … Continue reading

Home, ホーム, Heim, Casa, Huis
Military brats, transient souls, wanders, and vagabonds know that the idea of home is an intangible place. There isn’t a physical structure that contains a height chart for you and your siblings, a single driveway where you first fell off a bike without training wheels, one kitchen where you “cooked” breakfast in bed for your parents on their … Continue reading
