Rock-star flu flighters
published in the Chicago Sun-Times
The person in front of you at the ATM just managed to sneeze all over her hands and every button on the machine. The man behind you on the train has coughed since he got on at Grand. You can almost feel the vicious little molecules creeping into your head and throat. It’s beginning to look a lot like cold and flu season.

published in Fort Wayne Magazine

Getting on and doing it
published in Fort Wayne Magazine
“Successful people aren’t born that way. They become successful by establishing the habit of doing things unsuccessful people don’t like to do. The successful people don’t always like these things themselves; they just get on and do them.” Author Unknown

More bang for your chuck
published in Fort Wayne Magazine
Buck the bigger-burger-is-better trend and eat right on this explosive night.
On July 4, the entire nation will celebrate the freedom to gorge on warm beer, potentially poisonous pasta salad, artery-choking brats and brownies as big as our heads until the fireworks in the sky are equaled only by the fire in our chests as heartburn and regret bring justice for all.

Snow, a rosy glow and naked fruits and veggies
published in Fort Wayne Magazine
In the 12 days of Christmas, my stay-fit strategies...
