The American Medical Association has released guidelines for medical travel and tourism. This is pretty big news, in the part of the world that concerns itself with the globalization of medical care and services.
I’ve already blogged about this at The Bridge, where I have the nine principles as stated by the AMA.
The principles had not [...]

The “first” Robert Benchley was the one I thought I sort of knew, as much as you can know someone who died 11 years before you were born. He wrote brilliantly and hilariously for The New Yorker and Vanity Fair, won an Oscar and, by all accounts, acquitted himself with distinction at the Algonquin in [...]

I’m the grouchy geek, at least for today, since my laptop hard drive died. But I’m not so geeky that I’d spend any time grousing about that, since I saw (or rather, heard) it coming. The dreaded “click of death” started about three weeks ago.
Which was also about when I thought I was done with [...]

Yes, I’m asking. “The grass is always greener …”
Not that western Massachusetts is bad. I like it a lot, in fact. It’s less expensive than Connecticut, where I lived for most of the last 30 years.
But everything is relative. I’ve been looking, lately, into areas of the country where I could probably live far less [...]

I’ve always had sort of a roguish curriculum vitae, I guess. Why “roguish?” I’m certain most employers would (or have) describe/d it differently and with less charm. But I think it is the right word because, for example, I could probably add that I was first mate on a pirate ship and people would [...]

(Update: If you’re going to read this, you should also know that TigerDirect, or at least someone who works for the company, apologized to me in May ‘08. Better late than never.)
It has been three months now since I vented about bad, bad, bad customer service from tigerdirect.com. I never did get around to writing [...]

Links in this post are NSW … but I can’t resist poking around a little to see just what Yahoo is going to be deleting when they blow away all the Adult Profile pictures.
You see, there is no actual site for Yahoo adult profiles, and they don’t show up in search engines. They’re just … [...]

Yes, I had to look that word up, which is a little shameful to someone who has done hard toime as a newspaper columnist. Because every once in a while, you don’t have that big, delicious idea in time for deadline, and you do a “potpourri” column, blended from all the ideas that weren’t quite [...]

OK — I write this small article very carefully.
WordPress has a translation plugin. I am trying it.
Look to the right and you can see where you can choose your language.
I speak only English and a little bit of German and Spanish. Please let me know if the translations are horrible and I will remove the [...]

The Prisma Dental Blog is up and running. It’s a site that I think, over time, will do a lot to inform people who need major dental work about the option of having it done in Costa Rica. I do not often get directly involved with recommending specific overseas medical facilities but I make an [...]
