Fluoride: Looking Deeper

January 11, 2010

The current controversy over the fluoridation of public water supplies doesn’t really leave my thoughts much these days.  This is a practice steeped in deception and elaborate marketing.  Shouldn’t we all have the right to choose whether or not we want to ingest this chemical additive, without having it quietly injected into our drinking water?  [...]

Halloween in NYC

November 9, 2009

Halloween is my favorite holiday to spend in New York City. The rain only added to the experience. The beauty of living in Connecticut is we are very close to Boston and New York. We can easily get out of our day to day and experience the Big City. Ed and I drove down to [...]
