Did you know our bodies, these complicated vessels we take for granted, are about 60% water? Neither did I, until it was brought to my attention I was flirting with dehydration, plunging me head first into search mode without my floaties. Water does so much more than quench your thirst: – It makes up much… Read more »
Headlining the news in my corner of the world is Chikungunya.

I brought our new puppy into our house; a squirming, nipping mound of tri-colored cuteness we unanimously named Pennington after a soon-to- be traded quarterback.
