      Is it just me, or did March sneak up out of nowhere? One minute, grumbling about the cold, trying to keep warm, and raising the layered look to a whole new level.  Now it is starting to feel a little like spring,  “Hey, the days are getting longer, I can actually feel the sun, and honestly, it’s about time!" For those of us in medical, the seasons don’t so much change as they just swap out one batch of ailments for another. Goodbye, frostbite and dry skin; hello, allergies and questionable rashes.

Okay, so here we go, lifesaving legends. February is here, and with it comes chocolate-fueled madness.. which I love; milk chocolate, dark chocolate, don't care, will gorge on either.

I noticed a flyer from our local orchard that the pumpkins will soon be ready, and a notice will be sent for you to pick your own; I love pumpkin donuts and their smell. Don't know why Fall and Food connect; however, they seem interwoven. Here is the big thing about Autumn: a bunch of holidays are squeezed into it, so the urge...

    Ah, fall, the air gets crisper, the days much shorter, and pumpkin spice lattes are returning triumphantly. But wait—didn't we start enjoying summer? Blink, and it's gone! What happened? So, for most of us, the past few months have probably been a blur of things to do, possibly kids to entertain with school out, family friends, and the work schedules: urgent patient needs and a never-ending to-do list. So, what happened to all those summer plans? If you're wondering …. Where did summer go?" You're not alone. But there is good news: fall is the perfect time to...
