Breaking the News
Are you familiar with fad-speak? Sure you are. Or do I have to give you a wake-up call? Or tell you it’s time to smell the roses? Or maybe that you need a reality check. Because if we’re on the same page, then you should be having fun yet. Unless you’re having a midlife crisis.

New treatments for everything from dry eye to chronic constipation have emerged. And once again, while the

Question: What do a lion and a woman walking into her Zumba class have in common? Before you make a phone call to the nearest mental health facility, please read further and allow me to explain my seemingly ridiculous question. A fact about lions: they are very territorial and have been known to occupy the
True Enough
Kellyanne Conway. I am in awe of you. But at the same time, you are an enigma. I regard you with such a broad spectrum of feelings that I have no idea how I’ll respond to you from one day to the next. Not that you care. You don’t know me. I’m a mere speck
