For Love your Heart month, cardio-vascular disease (CVD), with atherosclerosis is the top cause of morbidity for Americans. Three Million new cases each year - almost 1% of our population - Oy veh! And 700,00 deaths!!! Sadly, cancers, CoVid-19, and opiods successively follow ASCVD with the Grim Reaper.

Power is my theme for this potpourri of topics squeezed into one. Big C First, Kudos who are with us to celebrate National Cancer Survivor’s Day!         ‘Tis sad yet true that perhaps 20 percent of all cancers in our great country may be diet-related. Oy! We are what we eat… Estimates […] The post Power Potpourri first appeared on KABOOMER: Movement as Good Medicine ..read more

Guess Who? The Guess Who first sang its classic, NO TIME, in the summer of 1969. Ah, memories of those tough teen times come to me easily. Whether these NO TIME lyrics mean something profound or mean nothing is up to a listener to decide. Was it a Vietnam draft commentary by a Canadian? Or […] The post Seasons Change, and so should you and I first appeared on KABOOMER: Movement as Good Medicine ..read more

Say Hey, Willie… I can think of no better man who fits Tom Wolfe’s descriptor of A Man in Full than #24 of the NY and SF Giants. Willie’s joir de vivre, unique skills on the diamond, and larger-than-life presence impressed me in my Happy Days of yore. He was a rising star when this […] The post A Man in Full first appeared on KABOOMER: Movement as Good Medicine ..read more

AI Spellcheck Wait, wait… I didn’t use ChatGPT or Google’s BARD to “genAIrate” this post. I promise. And, I didn’t misspell Tocsins in this posted title. Credit Artificial Intelligence (AI) is pretty neat for many applications, and I am a cheerleader for things that serve society. Yet, it will be many moons before a down-aging […] The post Springtime Tocsins first appeared on KABOOMER: Movement as Good Medicine ..read more

The slang noun, Jabroni, expanded beyond its original use in professional wrestling to social media after the AFC Championship football game. We credit the Sheik and the Rock for their roles in getting this interesting noun into the dictionary: A few weeks ago, the KC Chiefs’ Travis Kelce challenged the Cincinnati mayor for his rather […] The post Jabroni, Magic Mike, and the Game around Rihanna’s halftime show first appeared on KABOOMER: Movement as Good Medicine ..read more

Yes, I’ve been missing in action from weblogs. If I was still a Naval Academy Midshipman, I’d brace up and say NO EXCUSE Ma’am or Sir!  Yet that was many moons ago. My STRONG TO SAVE manuscript took precedence. So Generation X readers – be on the lookout fgr a Book release in mid-2023. Why […] The post Move Stuff to Cheat Death first appeared on KABOOMER: Movement as Good Medicine ..read more

Weird In Shakespeare’s day, weird meant ‘having the power to control destiny’. Witches in the Bard’s MACBETH  gave rise to the sense ‘unearthly’ as Fates. With more than passing amusement, I noted that a once-in-lifetime “weird” astrological alignment happened yesterday. In full and open disclosure, I do peek at astrological predictions while wondering how much […] The post Weird ?! first appeared on KABOOMER: Movement as Good Medicine ..read more

Savings?! I am a firm believer in savings for one’s fiscal AND physical bank account.  But for sunlight? Not so much… You may recall that I applaud the legendary Muddy Waters who cautioned in song, “you know you can’t spend what you haven’t got.” You’ve made it into Daylight Saving Time, version 2022. That is […] The post Moving past Madness first appeared on KABOOMER: Movement as Good Medicine ..read more

The slang noun, Jabroni, expanded beyond its original use in professional wrestling to social media after the AFC Championship football game. We credit the Sheik and the Rock for their roles in getting this interesting noun into the dictionary: A few weeks ago, the KC Chiefs’ Travis Kelce challenged the Cincinnati mayor for his rather uppity comment. Kelce tweeted, “Don’t be a Jabroni”; Not endearing, but still utilitarian… You see, a Jabroni is a recruited underdog that cannot prevail against a superior force. Think of the also-ran team recruited to face the Harlem Globetrotters in basketbal ..read more
