Happy Saturday That’s right. The weekend is here. Two whole days of not having to go to work. Two whole days of skipping the grind that pays the bills and keeps food in my belly and a roof over my head. It’s a beautiful day here in Rochester, NY. Blue sky without a cloud in…
Community Games The Olympic Games are here and already, they are half way done. Medals have been given with the winners standing on the podiums to receive their accolades and hear their national anthems. I must admit, I’ve been watching.

My girlfriend and I had chinese food for dinner the other night. I’d like to share with you what my fortune cookie had hidden inside. “Good books are friends who are always ready to talk to us.” For the readers out there, I think you will agree. Good or bad, they talk to us, reach into…

USAToday published an article entitled “Genetic ‘frankenfood’ found not harmful to human health”. The article goes on to state that a committee of 50+ experts compared disease reports from North America where Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are commonly used in food sources with disease reports from UK and Western Europe.
