I don’t think I will ever understand health insurance companies. Some of the decisions they make and things that they do and do not cover just amaze me. This came to mind recently when I heard about a friend of mine that has a new health scare. My friend is in health care and has…
Yes I don’t think I got a single thing done this weekend and I’m okay with that. My granddaughter came to visit! Oh my son and daughter-in-law too. Ella, who is now 3-months old, got here Thursday afternoon and stayed until Sunday. I cleared my schedule for maximum snuggle time. There was a time where…
Once again it has arrived…the (dreaded) month of March! (Insert ominous music here). If you’ve followed me for any length of time you know that March is my least favorite month. The reason is pretty simple: the weather STINKS! I actually do okay with January and February, maybe because we expect cold wintry weather. Then…
Could we please stop with the updates? It can really get confusing. This week I was glad to learn that I’m not alone. My wife doesn’t like it. Colleagues at work don’t like it. Even my minister doesn’t like it. I’m talking about all the updates we get on our phone…THAT WE NEVER ASKED FOR!…
I had a conversation with someone this week who told me that some mutual friends were struggling. Just like the rest of us, they are aging but they’re having some health issues and some difficulty with general tasks like getting dressed and taking care of themselves. They’re depressed.

Being around positive people just makes me feel so good. Is it the same with you? Recently I went to Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational High School to broadcast a high school basketball game. I’m not gonna lie: It was a cold night where I would have much rather curled up under a warm blanket…
Why do healthcare workers make the worst patients? My wife will tell you it’s because they’re not supposed to get hurt. They are the ones who take care of US when WE get hurt! I believe I have mentioned before that my wife is a paramedic and after 24 years in EMS… she got injured…
For those that follow me on Facebook, you heard the news this week: my granddaughter was born in Virginia on Monday! Actually I think I made that post on Wednesday. My son said, “Don’t post anything yet. Marla and I want to be the first.” We said okay and then waited— and waited. I know,…
Did you ever wonder why God takes the good people? Truth revealed: I don’t know. But… I have an idea. I was shocked this week, like many others, when I heard the news that Dr. Edward Klein from Hawthorn Medical and St. Anne’s Hospital had died. First I read a post on Facebook from someone…
Even though Christmas has come and gone, I soon get to open one of my favorite presents! And I can’t wait! It’s something I get every year around this time. It’s not a sweater. No it’s not another Christmas coffee mug (I got a few of those over the years). It’s something I can use…
