I remember my Uncle Dave had a slew of businesses. One of which was fitting clients with hearing adis (from Beltone). Now, this was way back when these were pretty big devices- the kind that make our Bluetooth earphones for our phones look downright sleek.

I wrote about Eliot Rosen and his work with oxygen for cancer therapy about a year ago. I thought at the time that his concept had great merit. Of course, cancer was not among my specialties, but… (Off topic. I just looked up Eliot Rosen and found he is now a board certified oncologist on the staff of Georgetown University.

Ah, the Waffle House. My son fell in love with it. Mostly because there were a slew of things we could eat there- any time of the day. And, we certainly hit this place at odd hours. It was convenient to the location I took my children to view eclipses, meteor showers, and just wonderful astronomical events.
