On our way to a Christmas gathering, our family was sharing stories about how everyone found out that there was no Santa Claus. Then the conversation shifted to how it is a societal lie to tell children this... I think that perspective is misplaced. I have never told my four adult children that Santa Claus does not exist. Why? [...]
I can’t tell you what an absolute honor it is serving all of you wonderful people. The last few weeks, the genuine love we have felt after I shared the passing of my friend and of Mrs. Sap has been heart warming. I know my notes to you are non traditional as far as newsletters go. We [...]
Last week I shared with you the news about our Cedarburg friend passing away. Oh my gosh there have been the “what if’s" going around this week. You know it - we all do it! What if he would have had that heart attack a couple minutes earlier then they could have stated CPR earlier [...]
This summer I was complaining to Dr. Jean that I had to go to a couples shower on a beautiful summer’s night. Then this fall I was complaining to Dr. Jean that I had to go to a wedding on the Saturday of opening deer hunting- messing with my yearly rituals. On both of those [...]
Dr. Jean and I bought a wine tasting trip to Sonoma Valley, CA with some friends at a Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation auction with a couple of dear friends that each have a Type 1 diabetic child. We recently completed the trip and it was a wonderful time albeit a weird trip for me. Anyone [...]
I have shared a couple stories about our family friends the Saporitos. Mrs. Sap recently passed away and while it is sad for those who knew her it is also a joyous moment for her. Not only does she get to be reunited with Mr. Sap but also with their son Joey. Joey passed away [...]
Have you watched the Packers or Badgers lately? Ugh! Talk about depressing! Hey listen, I know I grew up in Cleveland (Ohio that is!) and I know how to suffer with the best of them when it comes to sports! Try growing up rooting for the Browns, Indians, and Cavs. Yikes! I have learned some [...]
This week there is just some quick updates on several of our more commonly used supplements. The biggest changes are to Mintran and Drenamin. Mintran is our most popular supplement, two bottles to one, compared to the next closest supplement Glucosamine Synergy. Anyone taking Mintran knows that it comes in a very small pellet that requires you to take a fair amount of pills. That is [...]
Recently, Dr Jean and I went with some friends to Northern California on a trip. We stopped at one of my favorite places in the world that’s just an hour north of San Francisco. Point Reyes National Seashore is stunning. The tip of the park is a five mile hike along a one mile wide [...]
I often get asked if coffee is ok to drink. Yikes, what a loaded question! My little fireball of a mother thinks coffee is a food group and she is 80. The truth is some people handle the caffeine quite well and some people don’t. I personally don’t drink it because the few times I have had caffeine, it [...]
