This Sunday is Father’s Day. And, as has been true for many of these (alternative fact) holidays, I’ll be spending it with my kids. At the Phillies stadium.

The Russians AREN’T Coming. They’re already here!
We have a problem in America. (The problem extends around the world, but I am most intimately familiar with what goes on here.) We have government officials (and political flacks) who never answer THE question. They deflect, they modify the question so that their canned answer can be employed- without providing the answer to that burning question that was posed.

No, you can’t do that!
As of right now, there is not a lot of data. But, at Simpson Field (Alexandria), where i coached many a little league team and where my children enjoyed playing, at least 50 shots have injured (and perhaps killed) aides and elected officials practicing for a Charity Congressional baseball game. Please pray for all injured and let’s get rid of these guns that so easily devastate our lives- and, now, even our dysfunctional government.

It’s time to get up…
Don’t send me to a nursing home? Does that sound like something you’ve heard- or maybe said yourself?

Days of Wine and Roses… Are they limited?
You heard that drinking a glass or two of wine did wonders for our health?
Well, maybe it’s not a fact. (Don’t bank on it, though.)

Who Knew?
Lots of new books about science, science deniers, and politicians are abounding. Of course, the politicians all tend to be science deniers, but that should surprise no one. Not the least of which, because most of them are attorneys, who probably never mastered science or technology when younger (and, hence, became lawyers).

Stop! In the name of truth!
This post was written long before The Donald elected to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord. (That accord is officially entitled the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. I italicized ‘framework’ to ensure y’all recognize this is but a suggestion to preserve the world in which we live- not a series of regulations governing our lives.) Everything in the post below still applies. Except now, the warnings are probably more dire.

The “R” in R&D is falling short
I’ll bet there isn’t one of you who doesn’t know that I’m a techie. I’ve been devoted to science and technology- and FACTS- since I was a tyke. I knew I’d be a ChemE by the time I was 8 and was just as certain I’d effect major changes to the field of dialysis. I’ve been lucky enough to dabble in water treatment, water reuse, air treatment, microbial conversion of hazardous materials, pharmaceutical development, medical instrumentation, genetic manipulation, food production…. OK. You get the idea.

The 50 Second Waltz?
One of the issues always brought up by companies when pressed to raise the wages of their employees is that productivity is not increasing.

He should have been more famous
It’s curious how life makes our paths twist and turn.
I started out positive that I would spend my entire life developing renal therapy solutions. OK. Not solutions- just one. Who knew I’d be lucky enough to develop a slew of them.
