“Jean I’m going to get taller.” Oh, not again. My mother has been having a hard time dealing with the fact that she’s getting old and shrinking. She doesn’t understand how it’s possible. “Okay Mom, whatever you say.” “Jean, we can get taller together. I saw it on that morning show. This very nice [...]

I have accepted the fact that I will never get rid of the History Channel or golf. Isn’t it a cliché for doctors to play golf? This week a news story set [...]

I usually try to ignore the celebrity Hollywood scene, but couldn’t help but share my opinion when Glee brought it up over lunch the other day. “Jean, did you hear?” asked Glee. “Let [...]
