Behind Aspen’s international skiing luster lies a deep, competitive hockey culture that makes for a tough beer league. A drive to win the bragging rights to the battered Pell Cup turns architects, bartenders, contractors, lawyers, teachers, ski bums, and friends into fierce, fist-throwing rivals…former pros, Division I college players, and old goats—or, more accurately, has-beens […]

Over the years when I invited friends over for dinner they got pretty excited. One day I asked a guest what’s with all the excitement? Chinese food! They were expecting something I really sucked at making. To this day I don’t make much Chinese/Asian stuff. I’d rather go out and eat something someone actually knows […]
When I finished reading The Writing Life by Annie Dillard I realized my writing will never achieve the level of the great ones. But I am OK with this just as I was OK with deciding not to pursue writing for a living. Too hard, too demanding, too much time spent writing words into the […]

Very interesting to read about different countries’ approaches
I’m in the process of reading about the Covid-19 response in France. It’s horrifying and I’ll likely not link to the article.

Holy shit, I thought things were bad here. That is unbelievable! Euthanizing the old folks.
It just makes me sick how politics are involved everywhere. From suppressing it to begin with in China to France to here… Lived are at stake.
I had not read about the zinc sulfate. I had read about hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin. Have you been reading about this experimental treatment? A friend of mine sent me some zinc capsules.

She sent me a text today and wants to send me a capsule with some sort of mushrooms. I was going to do some research on that. She’s very much into Health foods and supplements. I have to be careful since I’m on a blood thinner. Have you ever heard of mushrooms enhancing immunity? I eat some almost every day and a salad, but not that many. Maybe two or three.
If we consume anything as preventative we need to consume a near plant based diet. Think Mediterranean diet. Lots of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, etc. Feed your immune system with food. Fish is fine but not here in Oklahoma!
