I love trains. There’s no getting around it. I wish I lived in a country where train travel was routine, or even in a city where commuting by train was possible. If I worked in Atlanta, for example, I would check into moving to Decatur, just so I could ride the train downtown every day. Augusta has plenty of trains …
I Love Monday
There are four calendars on the wall near my desk. Two of them say today is the first day of autumn, and the other two say tomorrow is. Either way, I love fall. I’ve got nothing against the other seasons. There is something about summertime that demands to be celebrated, even though I despise hot weather, especially hot and humid …

To all the advertisers who make the Augusta Medical Examiner possible, and to all the Examiner’s loyal readers: thank you!

CHILD: Mom, I can’t open this can. MOTHER OF THE YEAR NOMINEE: Good thing I have a pocket knife. Give me the can.
I Love Monday!
And I love this weather! And I love LOW HUMIDITY! Not that we can really complain about the summer of 2014. Last week we had a handful of absolutely beastly-hot days, but by and large this has not been a bad summer at all. As for today, if you have to go outside, bundle up if you’re in the Medical …

I absolutely love art. I realize art comes in many forms: music, sculpture, literature, dance, and on the list goes. If I could choose any artistic talent to perfect, I would choose to be a painter. I suppose that means, when translated, what am I waiting for? I should take lessons.

There’s a lot to love about coffee, that’s for sure. Despite what is shown here, I happen to drink mine with cream after years as a die-hard black coffee man. In fact, if you look at the picture below you can see my actual desktop and a few of the most important tools of my trade. Front and center, of …

I love honesty. It’s a great concept, and in nearly every situation too. (There are exceptions, such as the does-this-dress-make-me-look-fat exception.) A great place for honesty is in nutrition and health. Look at these cupcakes. They are honest. They fairly scream words like sugary-sweet, fattening, guilty pleasure, artery-clogging, Red Dye #2 – and delicious. They aren’t fake. You’ve got to …

I love a rainy day. I love a rainy night. There is no bad rainy day. Is it a weekday? Are you at work? Be glad you’re stuck inside. Is it a day off, a Saturday or Sunday? Take advantage of the rain to get something done inside you’ve been putting off. Straighten up the garage. Read a book. Watch …

Today is a good day to love BASEBALL even though there is no major league game being played anywhere across the fruited plains today: it’s the All-Star break. What’s so great about baseball? I like that it’s not about violence, which isn’t the case with every sport. The pinnacle of achievement in one sport is to beat your opponent unconscious. …
