Why Deny Science?

Posted on April 22, 2017 by deconstructingdoctor

Give me Comfort or Give Me….Never Mind, Just Give Me Comfort

Posted on April 8, 2017 by deconstructingdoctor

Torture. I’ve been thinking about that lately. Not in a “50 Shades of Grey,” S&M kind of way, either. If only. After giving it some thought, I don’t think it would take much to torture me or any other … Continue reading →

Runner’s Guilt

Posted on April 2, 2017 by deconstructingdoctor

Feed Me

Posted on March 17, 2017 by deconstructingdoctor

Changing Times

Posted on March 7, 2017 by deconstructingdoctor
