February 9, 2019 by

Lifting weights and building muscle in the right gym is disease prevention, as long as you wash your hands regularly and don’t touch your face. Common knowledge, right, don’t touch your eyes or mouth after handling weights in a public gym. But how bad can it really be? Well, remember all of the reminders in […]

JUST ANOTHER GYM, OR THE ‘OTHER’ GYM

February 8, 2019 by

Why do gym memberships jump up in January? I think you know why, so I won’t unpack that knapsack. The bigger question is, “Why do gym memberships drop in February?” One reason is old habits are hard to break for newly minted gym rats. Whether you keep a tight schedule or float from moment to […]

Health Writing? Start With Cancer And Drill Down

July 27, 2018 by

  Health writing is about bringing hope to the afflicted. Cancer writing, not so much. One is about the future and the steps to make it better. The other is layered with dread.   One is about improving conditions, about personal bests, about gains; the other is layered with dread.   Health writing brings nutrition, […]

GYM MEMORIAL FOR BOOMERS

April 17, 2018 by

  The first thing you notice in a new gym is the pecking order. Strong guys group together. Old guys over there. Young men pumping out the reps. Ladies all over the place on every piece of equipment.   Women have the gym all figured out. Guys not so much.   Over time a few […]

FIVE DIAMOND VIDANTA MEANS FIVE DIAMOND DAVE?

December 28, 2017 by

    Five Diamond Vidanta is my first five diamond resort. Until then I was a four diamond guy.   Did I need an upgrade? Who doesn’t.   I’m a basic one diamond guy in real life, but when needed I can fit in.   I explained this to my wife. She started pointing out […]

literary swag? BOOK PICTURES WORTH ONE THOUSAND WORDS? #literaryswag

December 9, 2017 by

    Selfies with a book? Had me at selfie.   Then book. Literary swag? Not so much, but it sounds like it could be big, like the cover of the New Yorker showing a reader with a book lit by their smart phone.   Nerd cartoon perfection. But what do readers really need?   […]

CANCER ROOM: BEST OF TIMES, WORST OF TIMES

November 22, 2017 by

The biggest motivation for writing a cancer room memoir like ‘LICKING CANCER, The Full Response’ is paying tribute to the people I met in there.   From staff to patients, it’s a team focused on the same goal, until it goes off the tracks, and it does in one way or the other for everyone. […]

NEW BEHAVIOR CODE FOR MEN WHO READ

November 21, 2017 by

    From breaking news, a behavior code for men is long past due. We’re not looking so good, not when old guys find their past behavior code for men so outdated, not when they’re called to account for asses grabbed and groped and try and convince us ‘it was a different world’ back then. […]

GUN WORLD SURROUNDS YOU? What’s It Mean When You Don’t Notice

November 8, 2017 by

  A gun world is all around us in America. Start a casual conversation and you might learn the mild mannered person you’re talking to owns thirty guns.   Since it’s so long ago, I like reflecting on my days as an Army medic. It comes in handy helping me pretend not be as grossed […]
