If I was ever in a situation where I had to decide what to do with the last days, weeks or months of my life, I know exactly what I would do. I think there are lots of folks who have bucket lists with trips or things they have never tried, but want to (like [...]
Like a virgin…sort of.
Madonna's song, Like a Virgin, includes a chorus line that says: Like a virgin - touched for the very first time. I have had this song in mind since Tuesday when I first went to see the chiropractor for that lingering arm issue I have been struggling with for months. The chiropractor, Dr. Brandan Anderson, [...]
